Disregard my previous message, I succeeded in downgrading my phones.  And it worked, thanks Rick for the info.  Is there any Polycom-specific mailing list I should be on to be aware of stuff like that?
 
Also, would you know how to check the version of sip.ld remotely? I know how to reboot remotely, and I did for a few phones, but my paranoid self would like to double check and see if the sip.ld 1.6.7 re-installed ok by checking the current version.  Is that even possible?

I had this EXACT same problem, and 2.0.x is the problem according to Polycom Tech Support.

 

I had such a hard time explaining the problem, too…

 

Downgraded to 1.6.7 and all worked well again.  Polycom says if you’re using Asterisk, don’t

go past 1.6.7 until they say to.

Subject: [asterisk-users] "Sticky" Polycom 501 keys and handset

 

Hi,

 

I've recently bought new Polycom 501 phones, upgraded to bootrom 3.2.2 and SIP 2.0.1.   I just noticed something, which I first blamed on Asterisk and NATs (a 2 second silence at the beginning of a call).  Something I've noticed also on my old phone (which is having the same problem now, but its also been upgraded).

 

My keys are sticky.  Simple as that.  Sometimes I press a number and the key comes up (the hardware seems fine) but the phone produces this loooong tone as if I had pressed the key for 3 seconds.  Even the receiver is sticky, giving my dialtone when I lift it only 1-2 seconds after I lift the handset.  It simply looks like the phone can't keep up, like a sluggish computer.

 

Anybody has ever seem this?  I'd like to downgrde to SIP 1.6.7 to see if the new sip app was the problem.  How can I do that?  I've placed the old sip.ld file where I had to, but the phone wont pick it up. 

 

Short of that, can somebody point me to the newest firmware (2.0.2) to see if that would help?

 

Mike
