Re: [Other] trying to config a Polycom IP 500 for Quantumvoice
said by Stewart  :
Do other line appearances (with other providers) work ok?
I don't have another provider. quote:
Is your phone set up to fetch a provisioning file from QV? From your own server?
The previous owner used central provisioning of some kind, but I intend this phone to be completely standalone. It's unable to contact a boot server, if that's what you're looking for. quote:
Do you know if register requests are going out? Responses coming in?
I have no good way to tell.  |

| I rep Nuvio, and the Polycom 500 is one of the workhorses, so I have a little familiarity with it. Out of the box, the Polycom assumes that it will be on an internal network, like connected to an Asterisk or other IP-PBX. To use an outside service provider, the phone needs instructions to get onto the internet and search for the selected provider. Did QV guide you to change the server address so that it would communicate with their network? |

Yes. As I mentioned, the QV tech support person said that he didn't see any problems with the config as shown in the phone's Web pages. However, he wasn't terribly familiar with Polycom phones. |

Yes. The previous owner's settings were still in there, so I had to clear them out and put in the QV ones. Oh, and I've also reset the phone to factory defaults - although, to my surprise, it didn't clear out very much in the way of config. |

| I would try to isolate any potential firewall and port issue, by plugging the phone into the broadband as close to the wall as possible ... disconnect everything you can on your side of the broadband modem (or T1 router) just to see if the phone can register. Or take it home and plug it directly into your DSL or cable modem. If the phone registers without all the work stuff in the way, then your network guy will have to help you troubleshoot. If the phone won't register with a clean IP connection, then QV will have to continue to help you. |

Yeah, I've tried several different things. We have DSL with PPPoE here, and the modem doesn't do PPPoE auth, so I can't just jack the phone straight into the DSL modem. It's as close as can be at this point. |
