[asterisk-users] Polycom Phones start to break up after being up a LONG time

[Mike]

There was an issue with the early 2.x SIP with Asterisk IIRC, but that's
been fixed for awhile.

 

I'm using Asterisk 1.4.23.1, with plenty of 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 phones. YMMV,
but it's possible your documentation is also out of date :-)

This is probably out of date, but my Polycom documentation recommends
keeping the boot rom at less than 2.0 for use with Asterisk.

That`s an old version, I've had plenty of issues (nothing like what you
describe) since 2.2.0.  Try going to the latest and greatest (SIP 3.1.2), it
seems stable (as far as I can tell with about 200 phones, including many
501).

 

It's hard to troubleshoot something that hasn't been current for about a
year.

Folks, I haven't paid attention to these responses, sorry!

This appears to be an issue primarily on calls with an EXTERNAL leg, I'm
fairly certain it's on both inbound and outbound calls. The frequency of the
reports from this client are increasing, and although I was intending to do
a mass reboot of all the polycoms over the weekend, I have not yet, but will
have to do it tonight (2 more reports today).

All the external legs are via PRI.

The phones are 501 and 601's, running bootrom 3.2.2.0019 and SIP 2.2.0.0047.

There are many of these that ARE on POE switched (Cisco),

You also don't mention if it is internal to internal or if there is an
external leg involved, and if so what type.

a number of phones on which the outbound voice (Polycom phone user doesn't
hear any problems, but the other end does) is breaking up occasionally --
enough to be noticeable and make you say "what?". In each case, rebooting
the phone has resolved the symptoms, but I'd like to know if there is a
known problem.
