Hi
Matt,
Thanks
for the reply, it helps alot. I saw your post on 10/20/03 to this list on
the review of the Polycom IP 600 review. That was extremely
helpful...thanks!
Questions:
1) Did
you get the call parking issue figured out? From what I could tell from
the post it works by pressing #700 (assuming thats your parking extension), but
not by pressing the transfer button on the phone?
2) Is
there any other feature of the phone that doesn't work for
you?
3) You
mention in your post that you got the phone for $265 (assuming US $). Is
it possible to tell me where? The best I've seen so far is
$395.
4)
Does the phone work out of the box, or did it require you to flash the
phones firmware to get it to work with Asterisk?
I like
the looks of the Polycom phone and am considering either this a Cisco 7960 or
Snom 200 for my SOHO desk set.
Thanks,
Ed

Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom SoundPoint IP 500Hello,I only have experience with the IP600 which is SIP only, IP500 is supposedly capable of SIP but you would need to get the firmware from Polycom. I am in the process of trying to sign up for their developer program, but it is a SLOOOW process. I do have the firmware for the IP600 but it is anyone's guess that it would work with the IP500 and I wouldn't want you to ruin your phone trying. The IP600 is a great phone with lots of great features and a good design. Let us know if you get it working. I'll let you know if I get a copy of the IP500 SIP firmware.MATT--------Original Message-----

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom SoundPoint IP 500Hello all,
Has anyone used the SIP version of this phone with Asterisk?
I see Polycom has a H.323 and MGCP version also, does anyone know if you flash the phone to swith protocols?
Thanks in advance for the info.
Ed
