[Asterisk-Users] Re: how to show called name on calling polycom display

[Shane Young]

We use Polycom phones at work behind Broadworks.

When we call from one phone to another phone, we see the called name on the display.  This is
because Broadworks sends a remote-party ID back to the calling phone when it invites the called
phone.

This also seems to work on the Sipura phone.

So the Polycom phone already has this built in functionality.  It just needs to be implemented in
Asterisk.
