I'm using a similar feature on 550 and 650 phones, also running 2.2.2. I've never used the <attendant> option to do it, though, so I'm not sure how it differs from what I'm doing. Instead, on the phones that are allowed to do this, I have the following in their XML config. You could just as easily enable it in phone1.cfg for all phones:
<feature feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="1"/> Reboot then phone, and then when you add a new entry to your speed dial directory (or edit an existing one), you will see a new "Watch Buddy" option, which corresponds to the <bw> line in the MAC-directory.xml file. The speed dial icon changes from the multiple-dots icon to a silhouette of a person or will blink when the phone is not registered, and the LED will go red when they're on a call. It still functions as a speed dial, too. John Lee was also correct that Polycom needs Asterisk's help. In extensions.conf (or .ael), you need to set a hint for any extension you want your 501 to see. In sip.conf, you need to set allowsubscribe to yes, and set subscribecontext to a context that can see those extensions. I'm using this on our attendant phone, which is a 650 with three expansion modules. The phone is programmed with several dozen employee extensions, with Buddy Watch enabled for all. This lets the receptionist see who is on the phone, so callers she transfers aren't surprised when they go to voicemail. It's not perfect, because it doesn't display DND or queue login/pause status, but it's better than nothing. -James On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 7:09 PM, Robert McNaught <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using a polycom IP601, sip 2.2.2.0084 > In the phone1.cfg file I set: > > <attendant attendant.uri="4158149992" attendant.reg="1"/> _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
