[Asterisk-Users] Configuring Polycom 501 IP phones via the console

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

In my experience, this can be pretty cumbersome.  I could be wrong but I 
think the reason I stopped doing it was that the phone would restart 
when you applied ANY changes, and you'd have to wait like 90 seconds or 
more to be able to re-access the phone via http.
