[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP500

[Andrei (MPI)]

Tim,

You may see description of new 1.3.4 firmware at polycom.com (check - 
http://www.polycom.com/common/pw_cmp_updateDocKeywords/0,1687,3641,00.pdf 
) released in October.

Though, it was proven over time that troubles with a SIP phone like "not 
hearing" one side or the other is NAT related problems. You may want to 
investigate firewall setup. I am not saying it is not phone related, but 
the phone would be the last one to blame.

Also, may I express my feelfings about Cisco and Polycom - not allowing 
direct firmware download for their phones - that sucks big time. I will 
get the firmware this way or the other. They just force me to waste my 
time again and again contacting their dealers and searching the 
internet. That should just enrage customers, in my opinion. Are they so 
big, they do not even care?

Sincerely,
Andrei
