We selected Polycom’s VVX 410 phones because of the greater flexibility of configuration over the CX600 desk phones for our new Skype for Business rollout.  One of the features of the VVX that we were interested in was Paging since we were replacing a legacy PBX phone system in which paging was heavily used.  

 

Well its true, once configured, paging works on the VVX phones just the way we want it to.  But there is a big problem related to user status (presence) in S4B: 

 

A page, when received by a phone that a S4B user is logged into, causes the users S4B status to change!  First to ‘In a Call’ during the page, then to ‘Available’ after the page is complete, regardless of what their previous status was – totally wiping out everyone’s ‘REAL’ status.  So someone who’s status was “Away 2 hours – No IM” before a page, suddenly shows as “Available” after the page.

(this behavior exists in UC firmware versions up to 5.4.0A)

 

Since the advanced status information that S4B provides was one of the major selling points for us, this is a no-go. Very disappointing.

 

Anyone else using Paging having this experiance?

I agree receiving a page does not require any user interaction so should not change the user's status.

Hello Arbar,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

As the status of the phone changes aka plays a Page the aggregate state will be updated.

 

If this is something that you and your users would like to change you would need to go ahead and raise a feature request.

 

Jan 03, 2013 Question: How can I request a change to the current Polycom SIP / UCS Software?

Resolution: Please check => here <=

 

I have not yet had a customer that complained about this.

VVX paging has been affecting the S4B status in our organization as well.  We are running UC firmware 5.3.1.0436.

Hello all,

the latest 5.4.1 release just posted fixes this.

 

  • VOIP-108207 Receiving a PTT or Talk event on the VVX 500 and 600 during away / inactive state no longer causes the phone to set status back to available once the PTT/TALK is finished.
