[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP601 Question

Hey everyone, I haven't seen an issue quite like mine, so I am hoping 
anyone who used the Polycom 601's may have an idea.

We are going to be switching our office over to Asterisk. All the phones 
are going to be 601's, I am going to set up a boot server, but for now I 
am just going to test everything on one phone. My question is I have the 
phone registered in Asterisk (phone icon on the polycom is black), but I 
cannot make any calls. I tried to dial the extension shown in the 
extensions.conf file and I just get a busy signal. However, if I plug in 
an old budgetone 100 with the same settings, it works just fine. Any ideas?

Also, when setting up a boot sever, the phone updates the log entries 
and there is a cfg file for the mac address of the phone, but during a 
reboot it cannot connect to the bootserver. Do I need to have the 
sip.ld, etc, files up there for it to work properly?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the sip.conf file

[test]
type=friend                   
secret=blahpoly
insecure=yes
host=dynamic
qualify=500
nat=no
mailbox=testmailbox
callerid=Yourname <test>
conext=local
disallow=all
allow=ulaw                   
progressinband=no         

here is the local section of the dial plan.
exten => 850,1,Goto(Mercury-Network,850,1)
exten => 888,1,VoiceMailMain(@Mercury-Network-Emp)
