[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP500

[Andrei (MPI)]

Tim,

For what it's worth, from my working sip.conf for Polycoms:

[2010]
type=friend
username=usr2010
callerid="MyName" <2010>
secret=nobodyknowswhatitis
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=inband
context=admin
defaultip=192.168.1.10
progressinband=no

Notes:

dtmfmode=inband and progressinband=no - that seems to be recommended 
from * sample sip.conf file for Polycoms.

defaultip= setting helped with network issues, not only with Polycoms, 
with Cisco 7940 as well.

Also in main sip.conf:
[general]
...
disallow=all              ; Allow all codecs
allow=ulaw,alaw

maxexpirey=7200
defaultexpirey=3600
canreinvite=no

Also, if you are not behind NAT, why nat=yes? And if NAT is in use, what 
is your network infrastructure?

Also, what is Polycom's SIP firmware version? (mine is 1.3.4 from 
October 2004).

And of course: what is Asterisk and zaptel version? What is your 
zapata.conf (just curious)?
