[asterisk-users] Polycom Call Parking

[Kevin Kiely]

This parking patch looks like a good idea.  I applied the patch but it
doesn't seem to work.  The patch install was successful and I modified my
features.conf like the features.conf.sample suggested. I don't see any
mention of the k or K in the 'show application dial'.  Any ideas? Did I miss
a step here?

If you're interested in easier parking you might want to check out the patch
at:

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=7090

You can do one-touch parking with it.

When my users had to manually enter the park extension, not one of
them used the parking feature.  Now that they can just press one
button to park, it is a very often used feature.  The new Polycom sip
firmware (2.01) also allows remapping a speed dial to another key, so
they can do one-button park pickup from one of the unused keys like
the "Services" key.
