Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP600 - Worth the extra $$

2005-07-19 Thread dbruce
Actually, your logic is flawed...

It would be correct id the images contained in the composite file were
static, but they are not...

sip.ld v1.4.1 (approx. 7.7 meg) contains 5 images: IP300 , IP500, IP600,
IP4000 and one unknown image (probably for the short lived IP100/IP400
customized model).
sip.ld v1.5.2 (approx. 10.3 meg) contains 7 images: IP300, IP301, IP500,
IP501, IP600, IP4000 and one unknown image.

The IP300 and IP500 images for v1.5.2 are actually approximately 50K SMALLER
than the corresponding image from v1.4.1. (Image sizes are approximately
1.2meg for each unit)

The IP301 and IP501 images for v1.5.2 are approximaely 290K larger than the
images for the IP300 and IP500.

The fact that there are seperate images for the new IPX01 models may
indicate that there are other subtle differences than just the size of the
flash memory and internal memory.

It also indicated that there is a significant amount of space left in the
2meg flash of the IP300/IP500 (even after accounting for the space required
for the bootrom at approximately 380K) for future enhancements.

Also, looking at the IP600... it has an image size of almost exactly 2 megs
in both versions of the firmware... which means that the XML browser
functions will likely never be available for the IP500.

regards,
Derek

	Yes, but it is an indication of the overall size of the firmware image, 
regardless of the model, and that is what I was talking about.



The sip.ld file is a coposite file that encapsulates individual firmware for
the different models. IE: the sip v1.4.1 sip.ld image contains individual
firmware for the IP300, IP500, IP600 and IP4000 models.

This also explains why the IP300 takes longer to upgrade than an IP600...
The IP300 has to download the entire file to get to the image it needs,
where the IP600 only needs to download the first segment of the file.


Good to know.  Thanks!

Derek

The issue is not that the IP300 and IP500 phones do not have enough memory
to run SIP v1.5.2, it is that they do not have enough memory to run bootrom
v3.x.x AND sip v1.5.2. The added features of the new bootrom have caused it
to bloat, requiring the increase of memory in the IP301 and IP501.

But... as long as you do not need any of the enhanced features offered by
bootrom v3.x.x (HTTPS/FTPS), stick with bootrom v2.6.2, and you will be able
to use the new features of sip v1.5.2.

The IP300 will run SIP v1.5.2, as will the IP500 and IP600. I have tested
them with bootrom v1.6.2

The issue is not that the IP300 and IP500 phones do not have enough memory
to run SIP v1.5.2, it is that they do not have enough memory to run bootrom
v3.x.x AND sip v1.5.2. The added features of the new bootrom have caused it

Michael,

The new firmware and bootrom already require 4mb flash, which
the 301, 501, and 600 have.  You can't load firmware 1.5.2 on the 300 or
500!

mini-browser

more memory for internal contact lists

6 lines vs 3 for 500

better screen

Great full duplex speaker phone (no so on 300)



I've read that the 600 having more memory will allow it to continue to take new software whereas the 500 and 300 have been replaced by new models with greater memory. I guess that implies that there will soon come a time when there will be software that cannot be loaded to the 500 or 300.

Hello, 

 

I am looking at the Polycom phones. 

The ip600 has a very nice screen, is that the only real advantage over the ip500 and ip300.. 

 

Is it worth the extra dollars?
