[asterisk-users] RE: Polycom buddies question

[Bill Gibbs]

Figures I email this and realized I can hit 

 

Menu

1 (Features)

4 (Presence)

2 (Buddy Status)

 

Wow that's a lot of key strokes.  Anyway to reduce that to a one button
touch?  I don't mind doing that but I guess I should think of the users
:-)

Subject: Polycom buddies question

 

I know this is not asterisk specific but we all know this group is used
for Polycom issues as well...

 

I have hints working ok on Asterisk.  However the Polycom phone will
only show the buddies key if there is not a call.  This defeats the
purpose of using the buddies to see if you can transfer a call to
another extension (using the Buddy key to see if they are on the phone).


 

Polycom sip version:

1.6.6.0036 for all platforms except 11402_001

1.6.6.0042 for 11402_001

 

Any way around this?

 

The big issue is moving from a key system to this is the ability to use
the phone to see who is on the phone so you know if you can transfer a
call.  Obviously web based interfaces work but that draws your attention
from the phone to the computer reducing effectiveness.

 

Buddies half solve this...
