[Asterisk-Users] Call parking on Polycom IP501

[Adam Goryachev]

What firmware version did you use for the polycom phone ??

I just tried it on my IP600, and when I press the park button, it waits
for me to dial an extension number, then I press park again, and it just
hangs up the call.

Thanks,
Adam
