Hi Eric,
Here's all we had to do:
1. Make sure that the 'Presence' feature is enabled in your phones:
<feature feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="1"...... in
sip.cfg (or maybe ipmid.cfg, depending on the age of your SIP
application)
2. Create a hint priority in extensions.conf for the extension whose
status you want to monitor:
exten => 2348,hint,SIP/2348-Office&SIP/2348-Kitchen
Remember that a) the hint priority does not seem to support wildcard
matching b) the SIP/2348 should actually represent the SIP channel(s)
that you want to monitor (this may not be the same as the extension)
and c) channels can be combined using '&' just like a Dial() command
to monitor the status of more than one channel.
3. Set up a directory entry on the phone that you want to use to
monitor the extension above. Set the 'Watched buddy' property of the
directory entry to 'Yes', and the Location property to the extension
that you used above (2348 in this case).
That's it - let me know if you have trouble getting it work.

Does anyone have an end-to-end summary of how they have
successfully set up the buddy feature including all the relevant
Asterisk and Polycom config snippets. All I have been able to do so
far is scrounge up bits and peices from the list and Wiki - nothing
that covers the entire process... I think a lot of people would
benefit from that (myself included)...

No troubles other than this and it'd be minor if one
of the reasons for the update wasn't to expand the number of buddies
allowed on the IP601+sidecards we're adding for the attendant. Ugh...
Anyway, directory entries haven't changed:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>^M
<!-- $Revision: 1.2 $ $Date: 2004/12/21 18:28:05 $ --><directory>
<item_list>
<item>
<ln>Doe</ln>
<fn>Jane</fn>
<ct>1001</ct>
<sd>1</sd>
<bw>1</bw>
</item>
</item_list>
</directory>
The config entries you referred to are set in my global sip.cfg and
apply to all of the units. Looks right to me.
Did some sniffing and Asterisk is sending a NOTIFY like so:
...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf"
xmlns:pp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:person"
xmlns:es="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid:status:rpid-status"
xmlns:ep="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid:rpid-person"
entity="sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ">
<pp:person><status>
</status></pp:person>
<note>Ready</note>
<tuple id="1001">
<contact priority="1"> sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]</contact>
<status><basic>open</basic></status>
</tuple>
</presence>
