From their website, the key difference between the polycom 500 and 600 phones is the number of "lines" they support. What does this mean in terms of asterisk? Do I have to have a seperate extension for each of these lines or ?
Also, slightly off-topic, how does the 500 POE "optional" cable work? Is this similar to have a power box on your desk, or is just a differently configured CAT5 cable?
And finally, being poor as we are, are the cheaper (ie non-400$ each) Polycom's
usable?
It's a Cat 5 cable with with RJ-45 plug on one end and an RJ-45 socket
on the other end. It has what I can only call a "bulge" in it. The
"bulge" may even have have a port for outlet power with the AC adapter
that comes with the phone. I don't recall and I'm not near the site
where I have these deployed.
I assume the "bulge" has whatever it is that converts PoE into power for
the phone.
There are different versions of the cable. Cisco PoE cable and a IEEE
"af" standard.
