The answer is yes, I think, but I don't recall precisely how off the top of my
head, and I'm walking out the door in a moment. The phone will hold more than
a dozen distinct ring tones which you can create for yourself, and you can have
asterisk direct it to use a ring tone independently of line appearance. The
most direct way would be with the SIP Alert-Info field, but the phone itself
can associate ring tones with specific callers from its contact directory too.
Hopefully, someone will chime in with more precise (and helpful) detail before
I return to the office, but I hope my reassurance is helpful anyway...

The Polycom SoundPoint IP 501 phones have been fantastic so far. I still have
a lot to learn when it comes to them, but the manual seems pretty extensive
and so far Asterisk has been playing well with them.
I have a need to be able to identify incoming calls based on some factor
(could be time of day, caller ID, dialed number, it doesn't matter.) --
Assuming Asterisk can differentiate between the calls I want, how do I inform
the IP501? There are "only" three line appearances -- I can't simply just
ring a different appearance since there aren't enough of them.
Is there a way to get Asterisk to tell the IP501 to use a different ring, put
something up on the display, *something* on a dynamic basis? The wiki
doesn't seem to have a lot of information about this kind of thing.
