SIP version of the IP500 runs the same firmware, etc as the IP600. The
config files are the same. The only difference is that the IP500 has three
lines instead of six. I believe that the model number is the same for all
IP500 phones, its just the firmware that's different. But, like Matt said,
unless you have a copy of the working firmware, I wouldn't try it unless you are
willing to potentially render the phone useless in case of an
incompatability.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

only have experience with the IP600 which is SIP only, IP500 is supposedly
capable of SIP but you would need to get the firmware from Polycom. I am in
the process of trying to sign up for their developer program, but it is a
SLOOOW process. I do have the firmware for the IP600 but it is anyone's guess
that it would work with the IP500 and I wouldn't want you to ruin your phone
trying. The IP600 is a great phone with lots of great features and a good
design. Let us know if you get it working. I'll let you know if I get a copy
of the IP500 SIP firmware.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
