Only if your users have a softphone also. Again, this would work in 4.2 with the bria phone. In this current stable release there are still bugs being worked out that prevent the workgroup feature from working properly on the bria.
So, to answer your question: right now there is not a way to subscribe to the rls server froma softphone and watch blf events from polycom phones (that I know of). Hence the bria work and I'm that is ongoing. ============================ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: tgrazi...@myitdepartment.net LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Burden, Mike <m...@lynk.com> To: Tony Graziano <tgrazi...@myitdepartment.net> Cc: sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org <sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org> Sent: Fri Nov 20 09:33:27 2009 Subject: RE: [sipx-users] sipXecs and Polycom "Buddies" OK. That's not one of my "must have" features, so I can wait for 4.2 stable release and use an app on the PC. Are there any Windows-based (sorry) programs that simply register with the SIP server (like a soft-phone) and monitor BLF without doing too much else (ie, they have a very simple user interface, and are very light on resources) that would work now without the IM integration?

Upcoming (4.2, development version 4.1 bit not near stable yet), is an IM integration which will allow for an IM client to "watch" the phone. Pick up the handset and make a call, show your watcher that you are on the phone. No real limitations there yet, but surely more than a few dozen I'm sure. Until that time, a phone with more line appearances/sidecars would do the BLF for you. Only the 650/670's have the sidecar option (good for a receptionist even with the IM integration, because if the operators PC is down, your company operator still needs to know this information). The 650's have 6 line appearances, and each sidecar has an additional 14. I've used somewhere between 20-25. I'm not sure if sipx can use the additional 47 line appearances as BLF's or not. Does anyone know the real working limitation of BLF for Polycom and the RLS component in sipx?

The Polycom IP550 has 4 buttons, the registration takes up one, so I can only track three people, and I want to track at least five. Sorry if I'm being stupid... I've got a total of about 6 weeks experience in IP telephony!
