Hey Tony, The way I accomplish the inbound ringing is to use a phantom user. Ring in to the phantom extension and use time of day forwarding to push the call around to where you want it. So for your time of day ringing, the 9am to 5pm schedule would forward to a hunt group that rings the one phone and then rings the other phones you want.
Then the next forwarding on the phantom would not have a schedule on it so it would forward the rest of the time to the AA extension. This setup works very well and is much easier than doing it in the Patton gateways. The only time the Patton works better is when you want the initial phone to keep ringing and then bring in the rest of the extensions. This really needs to be fixed or have some way of doing this in the sipX hunt groups. I believe it is not in there because the developers worried about SIP loops but it is a pain that we can't do it. I should probably put in a feature request on this if it doesn't already exist. For the Polycom issue, go into the phone definition and then into the line definition and allow only one call at a time per line appearance. This will force the call to VM if the user is on the phone or ring busy if the user has not VM.
