[Asterisk-Users] "Local Directory" feature on Polycom Soundpoint 501s

[hugolivude]

I cannot seem to get the "Local Directory" feature to work.  I've
consulted section 3.1.17 of the Administrator Guide.  It says to put a
file <Ethernet address>-directory.xml (where <Ethernet address> is the
IP address of the phone) into the TFTP directory.  Polycom provides a
template.

The IP address for one of my phones is 192.168.0.113, so I placed the
file 192168000113-directory.xml (shown below) into my TFTP directory,
but the local directory on the phone was not updated when it rebooted.
 I think the TFTP is configured correctly because the phone has no
problem loading the firmware etc.

I thought it might have something to do DHCP, so I gave the phone a
static IP address, still no luck.  Next I tried entering the info
manually right on the phone.  I went into the "Contact Directory"
pressed "Add" and entered the infor for a contact.  I pressed "Save"
and the phone came back with "No Records".  Occasionally I see a
message "Busy.  Please try again..."

Anyone have better success?

Thanks,
Hugh
