OK, so the confusing thing that was not documented by Polycom is this: At the bottom of page 46, the grey box mentions that each handset needs a config file (which I expected), but it does not clearly state why you would name them sip_JohnDoe.cfg or sip_3001.cfg - This was a little counter intuitive for me until I realized it was related to a username that was entered in the phone's menu. So if you enter the user on the phone as 5555 it will pick up the sip_5555.cfg file and if you enter 6666 on the phone it will pick up the sip_6666.cfg file. I think you would want to break your config out into two files like this: sip_5555.cfg: AUTH = 5555; secret LINE1 = 5555 LINE1_PROXY = 1 LINE1_CALLID = ABC Tech LINE1_AUTH = 5555; secret LINE2 = 55555 LINE2_PROXY = 1 LINE2_CALLID = ABC Tech LINE2_AUTH = 5555; secret sip_6666.cfg: AUTH = 6666; secret LINE1 = 6666 LINE1_PROXY = 1 LINE1_CALLID = ABC Sales LINE1_AUTH = 6666; secret LINE2 = 6666 LINE2_PROXY = 1 LINE2_CALLID = ABC Sales LINE2_AUTH = 6666; secret Or, you could leave it like you have and have the phone register to both extensions at the same time. I'm not sure what you should do with the first line in that case.
