Hi all, Can anyone think of a good reason to keep the Polycom "SIP Settings in DHCP" screen around?
It is cumbersome to use with sipXecs, and I don't think there's a good use case for doing so anyway. Basically, it can be used to configure the Polycom to get the SIP server address from DHCP. It still requires Line configuration (Username and Password), but if a SIP server is also configured then any DHCP value will be ignored. In sipXconfig all new Lines (Internal or External) must include a SIP server value. You can however go back and clear the SIP server value after the Line is created, which would allow a DHCP value to be used instead. There is no reason to do this for an Internal Line though, because it will only work if the DHCP value is always exactly the same as what sipXconfig would use. For an External Line it is even quite a stretch. If your system has Polycoms with External Lines then each is probably an exception, rather than many using the same external SIP server. It seems unlikely to me that an administrator would have a desire to use DHCP (instead of sipXconfig) to change the SIP server address that the External Line on a Polycom registers with. I propose getting rid of this screen entirely. If there are no objections then I'll proceed. Let me know. Thanks. -Paul [email protected]
