With SIP 3.2.X firmware (available on the Polycom download site) and
Asterisk 1.6.1, Polycom phones now support a full featured BLF showing
statuses of Ringing, Inuse and Online and one touch directed call
pickup.
<br>On the asterisk side all that needs to be done is to add a hint to
the extension. On the phone side for each line that is going to be
monitored add lines like the following to the phone's cfg file.
<br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> attendant.reg="1"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> attendant.resourceList.1.address="<a href="mailto:sip%3A205@192.168.1.102">sip:205@192.168.1.102</a>"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> attendant.resourceList.1.label="205"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> attendant.resourceList.2.address="<a href="mailto:sip%3A217@192.168.1.102">sip:217@192.168.1.102</a>"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> attendant.resourceList.2.label="217"
</span><br>
<br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> Following 4 lines added Sept/10
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> call.directedCallPickupMethod="legacy"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> call.directedCallPickupString="*8"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> <a href="http://feature.12.name">feature.12.name</a>="directed-call-pickup"
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> feature.12.enabled="1"
</span><br>Assuming my server is at 192.168.1.102, this will add two
BLF lines to the phone for extensions 205 and 217. Calls incoming to
those extensions will show a blinking green led on the monitoring phone,
pressing the hard key will pick the call up, if it is answered
elsewhere the led will change to solid red. AFAIK this cannot be
configured via the phones web gui, you must use the cfg files. You can
also use versions of Asterisk older than 1.6.1 if you remove the
restriction on what asterisk thinks Polycom phones can handle. Look in
chan_sip.c for
<br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> if (strstr(p->useragent, "Polycom")) {
</span><br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> p->subscribed = XPIDF_XML;
</span><br>and change that line to
<br><span style="font-family: monospace;"> p->subscribed = DIALOG_INFO_XML;

<br>
When a phone is ringing, the blf light is solid red and the icon is a (/) type icon indicating unavailable. I'm also interested in directed pickup. I set up the following:<br>
<br>
call.directedCallPickupString="*6" call.directedCallPickupMethod="legacy"<br>
<br>
Hitting the button next to the contact will speed dial the contact instead of pick up the ringing call.<div class="im"><br>

Ok, that looks good.<br>
<br>
We use FreePBX, and I know I had to modify a couple Asterisk files to<br>
get the BLF working ... here are some of my mods but may also be used<br>
for FOP2 (I dont recall which go for BLF and which go FOP2).<br>
<br>
vi /etc/asterisk/sip_registrations_custom.conf<br>
allowsubscribe=yes<br>
<br>
vi /etc/asterisk/sip_custom.conf<br>
callevents=yes<br>
notifyringing=yes<br>
limitonpeers=yes<br>
<br>
I also override some of the sip.cfg settings in the polycom dir with:<br>
<br>
<feature<br>
feature.1.enabled="1"<br>
feature.9.enabled="0"<br>
feature.18.enabled="1"<br>

Would anyone happen to have some examples of polycom configs,<br>
specifically the 650 with sidecar for blf.<br>
<br>
I have the asterisk side all configured since I've set up blf with<br>
other types of phones, but I'm missing the polycom side.<br>
<br>
I've put together a<mac>-directory.xml, and the sidecar now lists<br>
numbers as speed dials but does not subscribe to blf.<br>
