The best documentation I found is the Polycom manual.  It is fairly  
clear, though they don't provide a lot of examples.  Also, for some  
reason they put the button remapping documentation in one section of  
the manual and the button map in a completely different section.  A  
bit annoying.

I've remapped the transfer key to "#", so I can do an asterisk  
unattended transfer using the transfer key.  To do this, I just added  
the following line to my ipmid.cfg (or sip.cfg if you are using  
firmware version 1.5.x or later):

<keys key.scrolling.timeout="1"  
key.IP_500.37.function.prim="DialpadPound"  
key.IP_600.37.function.prim="DialpadPound"/>

Thanks,
Noah
