Thanks for the information Jim. Just curious why you think the Polycom's are a "treat" to work with?
In our experience, the Polycom 300 is the worst designed phone currently being sold for SIP bar none. The web interface is terrible. Each page has dozens of completely separate forms though this is not immediately obvious to the user. If you make the mistake of editing fields in several forms then "submit", only the info on the one form gets saved. And _every_ change causes the phone to completely reboot. Not good since it takes > 5 minutes before the web interface starts working again. It's perfect if you like to spend 2 hours configuring each phone. On the other hand, quality of the phones seems very good and if you forgo the web interface and just use tftp its probably manageable. -- John Lange OpenIT ltd. www.Open-IT.ca (204) 885 0872 VoIP, Web services, Linux Consulting, Server Co-Location On Wed, 2005-11-23 at 17:06 -0500, Jim Van Meggelen wrote: > Folks, > > When I found out about Polycom's approval of Asterisk Business Edition > for their sets, I was a bit sceptical. > > Then, at Astricon, I noticed that NETXUSA was trying to sign folks up > for Polycom certification, and there didn't seem to be any requirements > with respect to what flavour of the software was being sold. > > To make a long story short, my company, Core Telecom Innovations is now > certified by Polycom on their SoundPoint IP line of sets.
