[asterisk-users] Polycom 430 , 501 and 550

[Justin Hamade]

The 501 is more "weird" then that.  The cat5 cable with the built in power
injector is cool but to use it with a PoE (802.3af) switch you need a
"special" cable (the pairs are just different you can probably look it up
and make your own).

I believe the polycoms have MGCP and SIP support, no H323.  Stick with SIP
in my opinion.
