A follow up (late better than never)

Finally had time to sit down and look at this

sip.cfg

<keys key.scrolling.timeout="1" key.IP_500.31.function.prim="BuddyStatus"/>

This turns the Services key which I never use on a 501 into the Buddy Status. It even works while on a call. One touch!

How do you know which buddy is being
monitored?  Does this show a screen
of buddies?

Figures I email this and realized I can hit

Menu
1 (Features)
4 (Presence)
2 (Buddy Status)

Wow that’s a lot of key strokes. Anyway to reduce that to a one button touch? I don’t mind doing that but I guess I should think of the users J

I know this is not asterisk specific but we all know this group is used for Polycom issues as well…

I have hints working ok on Asterisk. However the Polycom phone will only show the buddies key if there is not a call. This defeats the purpose of using the buddies to see if you can transfer a call to another extension (using the Buddy key to see if they are on the phone).

Polycom sip version:
1.6.6.0036 for all platforms except 11402_001
1.6.6.0042 for 11402_001

Any way around this?

The big issue is moving from a key system to this is the ability to use the phone to see who is on the phone so you know if you can transfer a call. Obviously web based interfaces work but that draws your attention from the phone to the computer reducing effectiveness.

Buddies half solve this…
