RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 301 is slow
I haven't read every message in this thread so I apologize if this is a repeat. Have you considered using the cfg files and an ftp server to configure the phones? I have found it to be very convenient as a way to manage many phones spread out across several locations as well as maintaining one or two phones. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Hoffman Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 3:06 AM To: asterisk-users Mailing List Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 301 is slow Hi guys, I've been using a Polycom IP 301 for a couple of weeks now and find that it's extremely slow for configuring.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 301 is slow
I've read all the messages here.. seems everyone's forgotten the original problem. Yes, the polycoms are very slow at rebooting when configuring through its http server, not only that, but it's also inconvenient because it reboots for every change (each page) which means you have to pass through several reboots to get it going. The overwhelming majority of people who use these phones (and swear by them) use an ftp server. This not only provides you with a record of the settings, but the ability to control a multitude of functions that are not reachable by browser. Examples: Volume of handset - if you don't do it via ftp, you have no way of setting it to store the volume between calls and the default volume I've found less than optimal Since you need to upgrade the phone(s) from time to time, and there's no firmware upload facility using a browser. To add ring tones (although I've not tried that one) These are only examples.. the ftp configuration allows you to have a default setup file for the site and a specific one for each phone so you don't really have to think of everything for the latter. I do not think the polycoms are the best at setting up but once you get them going, they sure are hard to beat. I personally like the speakerphone's quality (if you have an issue with it, yours MUST be faulty). - Original Message - From: Nick Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: asterisk-users Mailing List asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 11:06 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 301 is slow Hi guys, I've been using a Polycom IP 301 for a couple of weeks now and find that it's extremely slow for configuring.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 301 is slow
The worst thing on all Polycom IP phones is the speaker phone's poor quality. You could not have a conference call using the speakers, only the head phone. Denis. Hahaha, clearly this guy is on crack. (no offense) I have uploaded MP3s to my asterisk box and have it programmed to play them when I enter certain extensions. I use this to test the internet connection, but many times I'll just hit my speakerphone on my 501 and start bumpin' some Cry me a river from justin timberlake (no, im not gay...that is actually his one great song!) - Gabe ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The 301 is not an speaker phone. It only has a listen-only hands free setup. In fact, the speaker phone is so good, most people can't tell that I'm on a speakerphone and are surprised when I tell them. I regularly use the phone both as a local conference phone and as a member in a conference with other people on speakerphones too. No issues at all, and great sound quality. The only conference phone I found that is better is one of the dedicated conference phones such as the 4000 or the old analog versions of it. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP 301 is slow
Easy to configure, lots of options and features, excellent quality speaker for hands free. Although the 301 is nothing to get excited about. The 501 and 601 are much better.
