I am working on Polycom IP601 console with expansion module.
I want to put on the BLF (busy lamp field) feature on all the
contact/speed dial names I put on the console but I could not get it to
work.

*CLI> core show version
Asterisk 1.4.13 built by root @ hostname on a i686 running Linux on
2007-11-20 05:26:15 UTC

*CLI> sip show subscriptions
Peer User Call ID Extension Last state
Type Mailbox
172.19.20.15 8000 8b1a76cc-68 8166 at default Idle
xpidf+xml <none>

*CLI> core show hints
-= Registered Asterisk Dial Plan Hints =-
8166 at default : SIP/8166
State:Idle Watchers 1
----------------
- 1 hints registered

I thought I did all the right thing but for some reasons the last state
is always Idle even though I press the DND (do not disturb) button or
change the state via the MyStat soft key, not to mention that the light
next to the speed dial never lighted up.

Here is what I did:
***sip.conf

[general]
subscribecontext = default <=====
notifyringing = yes <=====
notifyhold = yes <=====
limitonpeers = yes <=====

[8166]
type=friend
context=default
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
username=8166
secret=polycom
qualify=yes
mailbox=8000 at default
call-limit=99 <=====

***extensions.conf

exten => 8166,hint,SIP/8166

***sip.cfg on the boot server
<feature feature.1.name="presence"
feature.1.enabled="1" ... <====

***<mac address>-directory.xml
<ln>Blah</ln>
<fn>Blah</fn>
<ct>8166</ct>
<sd>1</sd>
...
<bw>1</bw> <====
<bb>0</bb>

Any thoughts?

Lee, Picking up the phone does not constitute 'making a call' Asterisk
is unaware of any Sip events until the phone sends it. Usually the
phone will not send Asterisk any information until it is ready to place
the call (ie you have dialed enough numbers to make a match on your
dialplan (local to the polycom) or you have entered a number or URI into
the phone and hit send.)

The BLF will also show in use if the phone is ringing as Asterisk knows
that there is a call GOING to the phone....
I hope this helps you out...

DND does not do anything for me BLF-wise either (shame). Simply picking up
the handset won't do, at that point the phone is giving you a dialtone but
nothing is sent to the server. You actually have dial out. Try actually
calling somebody, the state should change to InUse.

At first glance your config looks good.

Mike

I believe this isn't a Polycom thing, but the nature of SIP devices in
general. But, that said, Polycom should start making IAX desk phones.
