POLYCOM SOUNDPOINT IP 550

Anonymous · ‎12-15-2011

I'm working on a phone system that was setup before I worked here. It is an asterisk phone system one of the polycom phones has gone out today and won't work at all. I have some replacement phones in the back. What I need to do is figure out how I can setup the phone to work with asterisk as well as setting it up with the same extension and everything so it works just as the old phone worked. I have access to the asterisk server and all files in it just not sure what I'm looking up first time dealing with this issue. Thank You

Hello ThinkTech,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Usually you would look for a file name(s) that contains the MAC Address of the your faulty unit and replace the name with the MAC of the new Unit.

If the DHCP Server provides the BootServer details then you just plug the phone into the Ethernet and it would load the Configuration of the previous phone.

If you struggle after this I recommend your read the FAQ.

Best Regards

Are you dealing with any particular flavor of Asterisk (Trixbox, Digium, etc...) or this a custom build of Asterisk?
