I decided to split this from my previous question since I found a temporary solution for this. This was a little hard for me to find as my IP550 was working correctly and this sent me off the correct path for a little while.
The problem is the fact that the polycoms need the whole config from the sip.cfg and phone1.cfg sent for everything to be set up properly. The easiest way to do this is to load a file that just contains the items you would like to be different first then load the default files, this is the method sipX is using. The problem is that now sipX (I am using 4.0) is setup to deal with these older phones the way Polycom has recommended and the default files are not being loaded. The temp solution that I came up with is as follows: Get the default files, phone1.cfg and sip.cfg, from the Polycom SIP release that you are using for the phones. Copy these to the tftproot dir, I would assume that in most installs this would be /var/sipxdata/configserver/phone/profile/tftproot Then rename them to something that makes sense, in my case I am using ver. 2.1.3, so I named them polycom_phone1_213.cfg and polycom_sip_213.cfg. Now do any configuration needed for the phone in sipXconfig and load the profile to the phone, if your phone is already registered it will reboot and still be incorrect until the next part. Now go back to the tftproot dir and edit the < mac address>.cfg for the phone and edit the following lines to look like this <APPLICATION_SPIP300 APP_FILE_PATH_SPIP300="sip_212.ld" CONFIG_FILES_SPIP300="0004f20178ef-sipx-sip.cfg, 0004f20178ef-sipx-phone.cfg, 0004f20178ef-sipx-device.cfg, polycom_phone1_213.cfg, polycom_sip_213.cfg"/> <APPLICATION_SPIP500 APP_FILE_PATH_SPIP500="sip_212.ld" CONFIG_FILES_SPIP500="0004f20178ef-sipx-sip.cfg, 0004f20178ef-sipx-phone.cfg, 0004f20178ef-sipx-device.cfg, polycom_phone1_213.cfg, polycom_sip_213.cfg"/> Each of these are a single line in the config file and of course use whatever name you used for the files. Reset your phone and everything should be working. I am using bootrom 4.1.2 on these phones, I do not know if earlier bootroms will work the same. The reason this is a temporary fix is that if you modify the settings for the phone in sipXconfig and load the profile it will write over the < mac address >.cfg file and remove your edits. So you have to go back and edit the file then reset the phone again. Of course a more permanent fix would be to alter the program to add something similar when it created the file, but I am not sure it is worth the time to support these older phones. Hope this helps someone.
