[asterisk-users] Polycom VVX1500 video working yet?

[Jordan Kirby]

We use Asterisk 1.6.2 with the latest Polycom firmwares on the VVXs with no problem.
They key is the new "bootblock" polycom released a little while back.

If you download the new BootBlock, BootROM and SIP Firmware from http://www.polycom.eu/support/voice/business_media_phones/vvx1500.html it works well with 1.6.2.

I've not tried with anything lower than 1.6.2 though.

According to my experimentation, Polycom VVX1500 phones work with
"all" versions of Asterisk as far back as 1.2.30, and possibly older.
This is with the earliest of the Polycom firmware to support this
device.

The problem (cause not known) is that Polycom VVX1500 phones only talk
to other Polycom VVX1500 phones, making them essentially useless.
Perhaps Polycom have fixed this in newer firmware versions - I've not
seen such a fix in their changelogs.

Regards,
Steve
