The phone group should be able to become the master "container" of the "firmware" used. It could certainly be an option.
Yes, it could be an option. I guess it sounds like you are wanting to have a rewrite of what is there today. I'm looking for options to modify what is there. I don't have an interest personally in rewriting what works today. Explain? 1. Re-writing the sipxconfig field name/values for configuration yes, agreed. That is a minimum requirement for 4.4.x support 2. Containerizing (is that a word) the firmware b phone group to allocate the proper firmware. Agreed, that makes things easy. 3. Adding new feature to new fimrware and sending profiles based on "profile name" instead of mac address (i.e. login/logout of phone via xhtml to get the profile to load, hot reloading of phones without reboot, new features like pin-locking, etc.). Hot loading of phones doesn't require this change - it work now when the phone simply loads 4.0.2x firware. The rest of these features I don't have knowledge of - it is an enhancement it seems to the phones. Personally, I'd be happy to move the management of these phones forward with the features sipXecs has today, along with what is incorporated in the new firmware. For example, on my desktop today, I have the ability to move my mouse from Screen 1, to Screen 2, to the screen of the Polycom phone. This requires no rewrite of sipXecs, just the firmware on the phone to support it. The VVX1500 plugin has all of the requirments for video support for that phone, and it will be a part of the VVX500 phone as well. Once the mouse is there, my keyboard is typing directly on the Polycom phone. Enter URI, click on the directory, search by name, etc. Nothing required by sipx for this, just the firmware. You can add lines, remove lines, change extensions, etc. and in many instances it just works, nothing is required for that. You should just load a phone with that firmware and see what it is capable of doing. This is the reason why there should be an involved discussion prior to people starting to make changes to the templates. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Douglas Hubler Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2012 5:22 PM To: sipXecs developer discussions Subject: Re: [sipx-dev] Support for 4.0.2+ and beyond firmware for Polycom On Sat, Apr 28, 2012 at 3:46 AM, Todd Hodgen <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd like to suggest that a new section be added to the Device file > section of the GUI for the Polycom phones.

I would think controlling firmware version by phone group would be more useful then by phone model. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev/ _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev/ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 sip: [email protected] Fax: 434.465.6833 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linked-In Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tony-graziano/14/4a6/7a4 Ask about our Internet Fax services! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 sip: [email protected] Helpdesk Customers: http://myhelp.myitdepartment.net Blog: http://blog.myitdepartment.net _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev/ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 sip: [email protected] Fax: 434.465.6833 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linked-In Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tony-graziano/14/4a6/7a4 Ask about our Internet Fax services! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 sip: [email protected] Helpdesk Customers: http://myhelp.myitdepartment.net Blog: http://blog.myitdepartment.net
