Someone needs to write an O'Reilly Polycom config book. That sounds like an opportunity for someone! Really. Sure, once you're set up, you don't care what all those XML tags and attribs mean, but there is a whole universe of nuances Polycom has invented. You can suffer thought their tech docs but how cool would it be if someone actually wrote about what that stuff does? Who knew about the polycom app strings? There's at least enough material for a long series of blog posts. e4voip could give it try maybe? r ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Who has the clever Polycom upgrade system?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I remember someone wrote a great document concerning Polycom server provisioning that provided a way to ensure that updates to the firmware did not overwrite customizations. I'll be damned if I can remember where I saw it. It may have been discussed during a VUC session or may have been on this list. Either way, I'm unable to google my way to it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Instead, make all your modifications by copying the sections you want to change into one (or more) new files, and then in the very first files the phones download (MAC address.cfg) ensure that your customized files are listed *before* the standard sip.cfg. This will make your settings take precedence over the standard settings. -- Kevin P.

The one I'm interested in is linked in Darrick's post below. It's an interesting approach. Thanks for replying!
