soundpoint 560 on Lync won't make outgoing calls

[sleedham]

I've setup a Lync test environment, and got an IP560 setup with a Lync account. It can call users on the Lync buddy list fine, and you can even call the phone number associated with the Lync account, and the phone will ring, and works fine. You can set presence, and see when the phone is in use on the Windows Lync client.

The only thing it can't do, is make outgoing calls to normal phone numbers. As I said, it'll call other Lync users fine, just not normal numbers, even though you can accept calls from normal numbers.

Any idea what the problem may be?

Hello Sleedham,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

I can only guess as I am not aware what UCS 4.0.x Version you are currently using.

Are you dialing these numbers with the Country Code and Area Code ?

For Example in UCS 4.0.1 if you dial 001555123456 the Phone will Dial +001555123456 (without modified Digitmap)

You may want to use this digitmap example:

dialplan.digitmap=[2-9]11|0T|011xxx.T|R00R44Rxxxxxxxxx|[0-1][2-9]xxxxxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|[2-9]xxxT

Above would remove the 00 and replace it with the UK Country Code 44 and then send +441555123456

For Example in UCS 4.0.2 Rev B if you dial 001555123456 the Phone will Dial 001555123456 (without modified Digitmap)

You may want to use this digitmap example:

dialplan.digitmap=[2-9]11|0T|011xxx.T|R00R+44Rxxxxxxxxx|[0-1][2-9]xxxxxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|[2-9]xxxT

Above would remove the 00 and add the + and the UK Country Code 44 and then send +441555123456

Please provide some feedback on the above.

I am using 4.0.2, and am based out of Canada.

I'm trying a call using the format 1 (416) xxx-xxxx or 416xxxxxxx

It beeps a couple times, and then disconnects on it's own.

When I check the WireShark log on the Lync server, the phone never sends a sip invite, just Request: Options

Hello,

lower the SIP log level to level 2 or lower and check the Logs. All of this can be done via the Web Interface.

If you still have questions please contact your Polycom Reseller and / or Polycom Support (you may have to pay PPI)

I figured I'd send you guys an update.

It's fixed. Turns out the problem is with firmware 4.0.2

Reverted to 4.0.1 and everything works fine

[SteffenBaierUK]

Hello sleedham,

this is a broad statement as quite a few customers out there are running the UCS 4.0.2 Rev B on LYNC without issue.

As explained above and => here <= since UCS 4.0.2 Rev B the phone no longer sends the + within the INVITE to the LYNC Server.

As mentioned as well turning on SIP logging to a level 2 should show you the difference in the behavior.

If you prefer to run the older Software instead you can do this but the UCS 4.0.2 Rev B work with LYNC but maybe not in your specific environment.

I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I spoke with a Microsoft rep, and they told me to revert to 4.0.1, I did that, and it instantly started working.

Is there a fix for 4.0.2 to append the +? Where on the phone can you manually add the +?

[SteffenBaierUK]

Well,

if you read my first reply the answer is already there.

Regards

Steffen
