[Asterisk-Users] Seting up for afirst time -- can not call

Hi, all

I am setting up Asterisk for the first time and have some problems.

Setup is very simple -- Astersik box and two Polycom SP300 phones. I will 
add bells and whistles as I go, at the moment things are very simple. No 
TFTP servers, so phones run with their default configuration.
I set up IP addresses, netmask and gateway IPs manually on the phones.

Now, I have read of problems with polycom phones. Here is my sip.conf file:

; SIP configuration file

[general]
port=5060
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
context=default

[polycom_sp300_ext101]
type=user
host=192.168.1.101
secret=101
context=default

[polycom_sp300_ext101]
type=peer
secret=101
host=192.168.1.101
context=default
callerid="Ext 101"

[polycom_sp300_ext102]
type=user
host=192.168.1.102
secret=101
context=default

[polycom_sp300_ext102]
type=peer
secret=102
host=192.168.1.102
context=default
callerid="Ext 102"


First question is about the secret. Should I set up something on teh phone? 
Is it phone password (default 456)?

Now, I am trying to have some extensions. So I have edited the 
extensions.conf file and changed the [default] section:
[default]
;
; By default we include the demo.  In a production system, you
; probably don't want to have the demo there.
;
;include => demo
exten => 101,1,Dial,(SIP/polycom_sp300_ext101)
exten => 102,1,Dial,(SIP/polycom_sp300_ext102)

The rest of the file is "as is" as it came with Asterisk.

Now I run 'reload' command as CLI.

Is ist all I have to do to be able to call between those two phones? If I 
try to call from one phone to another, after I enter first two digits '10', 
I get "connecting" on phone screen and instant busy tone.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rudolf
