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

[hugolivude]

I tried changing the name to the MAC address format, but still no
luck.  No contacts appear after re-boot and I still can't add them
manually either.

No particular reason for using TFTP over FTP.  I'm a hack so I just
followed the instructions at:

Thanks,
Hugh
