[Asterisk-Users] "Local Directory" feature on Polycom Soundpo int 501s

[Watkins, Bradley]

The filename needs to be <MAC Address>-directory.xml, not <IP
Address>-directory.xml.  Grab the MAC off the back of the phone.

This is the same as for the provisioning files if you are using your TFTP
server to do that.  Also, is there a reason that you aren't using FTP?  It's
much more robust, and does not require that you pre-configure the directory
file (unless you want to fill in specific values).

I cannot seem to get the "Local Directory" feature to work.  I've consulted
section 3.1.17 of the Administrator Guide.  It says to put a file <Ethernet
address>-directory.xml (where <Ethernet address> is the IP address of the
phone) into the TFTP directory.  Polycom provides a template.

The IP address for one of my phones is 192.168.0.113, so I placed the file
192168000113-directory.xml (shown below) into my TFTP directory, but the
local directory on the phone was not updated when it rebooted.  I think the
TFTP is configured correctly because the phone has no problem loading the
firmware etc.

I thought it might have something to do DHCP, so I gave the phone a static
IP address, still no luck.  Next I tried entering the info manually right on
the phone.  I went into the "Contact Directory" pressed "Add" and entered
the infor for a contact.  I pressed "Save" and the phone came back with "No
Records".  Occasionally I see a message "Busy.  Please try again..."

Anyone have better success?

Thanks,
Hugh
