So, either you do not need to register and things will Just Work(tm) or you will need to use separate type=user and type=peer config directives. So, why can't you just do: [someuser] type=friend host=dynamic context=internal secret=somesecret In other words, you can have your user registered to the server AND be using a type=friend definition. This is exactly how I have some test equipment set up and it works perfectly well. Sure, but then you are not restricting to any specific IP address to authenticate users and you will request the internal context on the far end when sending them calls.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Minor Registration Problem With Polycom Soun dpoint IP 500
Could you tell us a little bit how exactly it works? The wiki pages don't say much about type=friend, user, and peer. I tried using type=user but can't seem to register. And what implications are there for using type=friend?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Minor Registration Problem With Polycom Soun dpoint IP 500
What firmware and sip versions are you using? I have several Polycom phones on my system right now and I've never had any registration problems with them. Instead of leaving the host as dynamic try declaring an IP address(that's the only difference I see between your sip.conf and mine). If you are still having problems I've like to see your polycom .cfg files for one of these phones, you might be missing a setting in one of them.

try this first in your sip.conf entry for your Polycom phone: host=dynamic defaultip=10.10.10.10 (put the phone IP address there) I have all of my Polycom's set to friend so I know that's not your problem. if that is still generating bad registration messages, then send me your Polycom .cfg files MATT--- -Original Message- From: David Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 8:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Minor Registration Problem With Polycom Soundpoint IP 500 Hi Matt, I did try setting my sip.conf to have host=ip.address. such as the following: [DavidLiu] type=friend username=DavidLiu secret=mypassword host=192.168.3.16 canreinvite=yes dtmfmode=rfc2833 context=sip callerid=David Liu 1000 mailbox=1000 port=5060 Then asterisk will complain with the following error: Feb 5 09:52:01 NOTICE[278546]: Registration from 'DavidLiu sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' failed for '192.168.3.16' Feb 5 09:52:32 NOTICE[278546]: Peer 'DavidLiu' isn't dynamic Feb 5 09:52:32 NOTICE[278546]: Registration from 'DavidLiu sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' failed for '192.168.3.16' Feb 5 09:52:33 NOTICE[278546]: Peer 'DavidLiu' isn't dynamic etc..(repeat until phone stops registering) David - Original Message - From: mattf [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 3:59 AM Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Minor Registration Problem With Polycom Soundpoint IP 500 What firmware and sip versions are you using?
