[asterisk-users] problems with Polycom 500 boot up

[Jessee J Holmes]

Dear Steve,

The phone may be looking for it's specific configuration files (not  
phone1.cfg, but instead 0004F........cfg {or [mac].cfg}). In our past  
experience, if the phone was ever formatted (fully formatted), the  
phone will request this from the FTP server specified. Of course  
confirm your phone's login to your FTP server is correct, confirm the  
phone is logging in and grabbing the files (should be able to be done  
through your FTP program's interface).

Also, as odd as this sounds, check your firewall on your network. In  
the past, we've ran into some weird things happening where the  
firewall will let some Polycom phones through, but not all. So  
confirm your Polycom phone is talking to your FTP client (again your  
log files can tell you this).

For further information, I suggest looking at one of our  
knowledgeable articles on this topic: http://voipstore.atacomm.com/
