Thanks for your repsonse, perhaps I mis-stated my situation. I have
asterisk up and running with a TDM22B and have two analog phones working
with two analog phone lines. What I can't seem to get started on is the
setup of a SIP phone. I have looked at all the info on voip-info.org
and it is somewhat helpful, but not enough to get it going. So any help
would be appreciated.
Also, is it generally accecpted that the Polycom phones are a good
choice? Why might I choose something else? Can the Polycom phones be
setup to work against a propritary phone system like the Nortel or Avaya?
Thanks again,
Matt

If you are only new to Asterisk there is now [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net
don't be put off by the name - people run entire companies on this version)
The [EMAIL PROTECTED] solution the easiest way to get started. It is an .iso cd
that you burn, load into a suitable PC (I run mine on a P3-700) and this super
smart scripting code automatically installs the following software;
Asterisk (the open source switching software)
AMP (an open source release of a gui configurator) they have their own separate sourceforge website https://sourceforge.net/projects/amportal
FOP (a graphical web page for transferring calls, monitoring who is online etc) http://www.asternic.org
Web meetme (a graphical web page for monitoring and controlling conference calls)
Check out www.voip-info.org for information about configuring your Polycom
Welcome to the family.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Newie Questions
Hello, I'm new to asterisk. My company is opening a new office and I'm
seriously considering using Asterisk for the phone system.
A couple of questions:
How does Asterisk compete with the Avaya IP Office or the Nortel BCM
systems?
I have purchased a Polycom 500 phone but I'm having trouble getting it
setup and talking to Asterisk. Is there somewhere that has SIP phone
setup A-Z for beginners? All the documentation I have seen assumes you
know more than I know at this point.
I'm sure I'll have lots more questions, but that will do for now.
Thanks,
Matt
