Title: polycom IP 500/600 Hi, A few questions about polycom IP 500/600. . how do I reset everything to factory default? The combination of 4,6,8,* seems only reset the network setup. Other settings, e.g. time server, SIP configure are still there. . is a way to push ftp username/password via dhcp? I’d like to change the default username and password, but don’t want to manually set each phone.

Hi Kristian, I'd like to use ftp because of several advantages it has. For example, ability to change the time stamp and reload the phone. But the default password is a big issue.

The default user name and password is a huge issue in some cases. For example, hackers can get into the server, grab the configuration, program their own phone and make free calls. Another example, if you have multiple domains, then you want different username/passwd for each domain. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kristian Kielhofner > Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 1:55 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] polycom IP 500/600 > > Richard wrote: > > Hi Kristian, > > > > I'd like to use ftp because of several advantages it has.

Any way you look at it, there is still the chicken and the egg issue that I pointed out earlier. You cannot use the configuration file to specify a custom username and password until you get the configuration file in the first place! This is why the Cisco and Polycom's use CDP for VLAN configuration - you can set the VLAN BEFORE the DHCP request is made - to make sure that you get to the proper network (and DHCP server) in the first place.

How to set the ftp user/pass from DHCP. PS, of course, if the phone is elsewhere, then you also can't set the ftp user/pass via DHCP, since it isn't your DHCP server. Also, wherever I mentioned setting FTP user/pass via DHCP, you should add setting the FTP server name via DHCP as well. This means you can look at the box of a polycom phone (since the MAC address is on the outside of the box), configure the phone extensions/registrations/etc, hand the box to the user and tell them to go back to their desk and plug it in. Currently, you need to unpack the phone, configure the FTP servername, user, passwd, re-pack the box, and then tell the user to go plug it in etc...

Regards, Adam Adam, I understand that the premise with VoIP phones can be placed anywhere on the internet. I don't think that phones like the Polycom are optimally designed to be used at locations that are not connected to a lan not specifically designed for them. I picture Polycoms, Ciscos, etc. used in traditional office settings, or branch offices with VPNs anyways. Lets face it - they speak SIP only, and their NAT functions are severely limited anyways (no NAT mapping, STUN, etc.). All of this combined do not make for a very good single remote location phone. I would love to see someone be able to unplug the phone from their desk and plug it in at home (with no prior setup, knowledge, etc.), but I understand why that just won't work (right now). Sipuras can download their config and store it in non-volatile memory. I don't know why Polycoms don't have this option, and why Cisco has such a limited version of it. I just got done re-reading the Polycom admin manual and I saw no way to set either the FTP server, username or password via DHCP or config file.

The ease of configuration is the biggest concern here. I'd like to try everything to avoid pressing the keypad of the phone to change the setting. There is no way I want to go to a site to make a configuration change. We will most likely deploy a small appliance as a local dhcp and ftp server inside a customer's network. Therefore security is less an issue. We only have ssh access to the local server. Then if we make any change, we just change the setting on the server and send a command to reboot the phone.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] polycom IP 500/600
More thoughts, polycom can have two options to send ftp login info. 1. use dhcp to push username and password. It can use either the existing dhcp options, e.g. bootp file name field as a string to send "username/password", or define a new vendor specified field. 2. use the existing ftp account to get the config file. If it includes a new ftp username/password, phone should reboot and try to use the new username and password. This is the way how cisco ata works with new authentication key.

If the phone is behind a NAT firewall, it would require extra configuration on the firewall. Depending on the circumstance, it is not always be possible to make such a change.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] polycom IP 500/600
So what? You said you had ssh access. Use ssh forward. Here's another way. Might work for you, I don't know. You could easily setup a secure tunnel (think openvpn) to run your ftp server on locally. That way you could keep all the configs in one place. You could open the tunnel when it's time to update the phones and then have the phones use your local server as the ftp source. You just reboot the phones remotely and close the tunnel once all the phones have updated. With this method, run ntp on both sides so that the timestamp change thingy will work right. Really, there must be a million ways to do this. I think you're trying too hard. John Richard wrote: If the phone is behind a NAT firewall, it would require extra configuration on the firewall.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] polycom IP 500/600
I think that the topic is sidetracked... My original question is about how to change the default username and password for ftp login. I want to change it, but don't want to punch the keypad manually. I don't think that this can be done via web interface either.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] polycom IP 500/600
Another idea, not sure if it was stated yet is to just run the ftp server on a private ip address and/or if you are going to have it on a public ip restrict by ip address. I run my ftp server on a private ip which is open to everyone on the private lan and on the public side, for example I only allow one static ip address to connect to it because I only have one outside person with a polycom phone and they have a static ip. Just an idea. On Sat, 30 Oct 2004 22:21:01 -0500, John Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The phone has a web interface.

[Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP-500 & 600 Nat settings.
I have looked at the wiki and the mailing list. But I need to find how do we setup the external IP address and the rtp ports for the Polycom IP-500 and IP-600. There web interface has a nat setting but can't find instructions on how to set this up. I would like to set this up via there ftp file setup instead of via there web setting. Also There QoS settings are set to 5 and 2 but there it does not say if you change it to 7 or to a lower number which one gives you better priority. Main problem I am having is that the polycoms work great as long as there on the same LAN. once they go through a Nat router even if all the ports are open we get one way audio or no audio. The asterisk servers are on a real world IP address and the Phones are behind a Nat firewall called m0n0wall. We have all ports open going out to where the asterisk box is setup. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
