[Asterisk-Users] Polycom SoundPoint IP 500

[Ed Rubright]

Hi Matt,
 
Thanks for the reply, it helps alot.  I saw your post on 10/20/03 to
this list on the review of the Polycom IP 600 review.  That was
extremely helpful...thanks!
 
Questions:
 
1) Did you get the call parking issue figured out?  From what I could
tell from the post it works by pressing #700 (assuming thats your
parking extension), but not by pressing the transfer button on the
phone?
 
2) Is there any other feature of the phone that doesn't work for you?
 
3) You mention in your post that you got the phone for $265 (assuming US
$).  Is it possible to tell me where?  The best I've seen so far is
$395.
 
4) Does the phone work out of the box, or did it require you to flash
the phones firmware to get it to work with Asterisk?
 
I like the looks of the Polycom phone and am considering either this a
Cisco 7960 or Snom 200 for my SOHO desk set.
 
Thanks,
Ed

Hello,
 
I 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.

Hello all, 

Has anyone used the SIP version of this phone with Asterisk? 

I see Polycom has a  H.323 and MGCP version also, does anyone know if
you flash the phone to swith protocols? 

Thanks in advance for the info.
