[Asterisk-Users] polycom ip601 attendant console

[Rob McKrill]

These were configured with the <MACADDR>-directory.xml and the 6 
extension limitation has been verified by several vendors.

Don't get me wrong, they are a nice looking unit, and once the 
monitoring of more than 6 people is available they will be a great 
replacement for the Snoms.

Right now we can transfer to any of the speed dials on those buttons but 
those buttons do not show the state of those extensions when transferring.

To clarify, you can have as many speeddials/extensions assigned as you 
have buttons on the expansion modules, but you can only "monitor" or 
"watch" six.

Using OEJ's parkhints patch (bug 5779) you can actually monitor the 
state of parking spots too, so once this limitation of 6 watched 
extensions is changed we'll have a really sweet solution for a 
receptionist phone.
