[Asterisk-Users] Re: Polycom boot times/XML files.

[Anton Krall]

Ken, Im having problems with the time on my polycoms, it doesn't matter
which sntp server and offset I enter, the phone wont take the offset into
account, Ive tried entering it directly on the phone and also on the .cfg
file but no luck, any tips?

|Yeah, the Polycoms *do* take a while to boot -- but not five minutes. 
|I've timed mine (Polycom 501's) and it's 1:25.  Ain't exactly 
|zippy, but for something that only reboots when I'm servicing 
|it, it's acceptable. 
|Aside from that, I really dig the Polycom phones: good looks, 
|good audio, good menuing.  [Note: the x01's are a fair 
|improvement over the x00's, which took a smidge longer to 
|boot, and had not-as-nice menus and overall look-and-feel.]  
|As for someone complaining that you had to hand-edit the XML 
|files, instead of using a nice GUI... guess what:
|that's what scripting is for.  I can tell you that I'll spend 
|15 minutes to write a script, and be able to spawn it onto 50 
|phones in ten seconds ANY DAY over having to fire up a browser 
|to those same 50 phones.  And God help you if you had a "real" 
|number of phones to change.
|
|For that matter, some day I'll get off my lazy a** and write 
|something that talks to the dhcpd.leases file and 
|auto-provisions new phones.
