[asterisk-users] reset Polycom phones remotely

[Dave Miller]

Got any rogue DHCP options configured that are set for that MAC address
or range?  I've noticed when you put in options that the Polycom looks
for and have them configured syntactically incorrect, the Polycoms will
refuse the entire transaction instead of just the option that was
screwed up (timezones with an illegal value in my case).
