A follow up (late better than never)
Finally had time to sit down and look at this sip.cfg <keys key.scrolling.timeout="1" key.IP_500.31.function.prim="BuddyStatus"/> This turns the Services key which I never use on a 501 into the Buddy Status. It even works while on a call. One touch!

Anyway to reduce that to a one button touch? I don't mind doing that but I guess I should think of the users :-) Bill ________________________________ From: Bill Gibbs Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 2:21 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Polycom buddies question I know this is not asterisk specific but we all know this group is used for Polycom issues as well... I have hints working ok on Asterisk. However the Polycom phone will only show the buddies key if there is not a call. This defeats the purpose of using the buddies to see if you can transfer a call to another extension (using the Buddy key to see if they are on the phone). Polycom sip version: 1.6.6.0036 for all platforms except 11402_001 1.6.6.0042 for 11402_001 Any way around this? The big issue is moving from a key system to this is the ability to use the phone to see who is on the phone so you know if you can transfer a call. Obviously web based interfaces work but that draws your attention from the phone to the computer reducing effectiveness. Buddies half solve this... Bill
