Yes, it does, whether it is in the handset/headset, or from the ringer,
I can't remember, but it does definitely make some sort of audible
notification.

No, the IP500 requires an additional cable, which may have some chip or
something internally. The IP300 is in the same boat. The IP600 only
requires a PoE enabled standard cat5 cable (ie, the other end of the
cable is inserting power).

Yes, I can, and at least the PoE questions are answered on the polycom
website and the wiki. Also, please remember:
a) don't top post
b) delete irrelevant text
