PostPosted: Fri May 09, 2008 10:52 am    Post subject: [asterisk-users] Polycom causes conference to fail Reply with quote

We have a remote office that's having problems with their Polycom.
Sometime after they start a conference, the audio will halt and the
Polycom will become unresponsive. The only recourse is to kill the
Polycom meetme. Symptoms include a flood of RTP packets from the
Asterisk server to the Polycom, a loss of audio for all participants,
and the Polycom console becomes frozen. It appears to be isolated to
this particular device; we routinely have conference bridges with
other offices and Polycoms without issue.

I've managed to get the output from "meetme list", "core show channel"
and "meetme kick <id> 1" from today, but it's a lot of output. Can I
forward this to the list? I'm not very experienced with Asterisk, so
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If you think Asterisk may somehow be a part of the problem
(... "loss of audio for all participants" ...) the best thing
would probably be to open a bug in the bug tracker.

Considering we have other Polycoms (same model) operating successfully
in bridges, I'm hesitant to put all of the blame on an Asterisk bug.
But I guess it couldn't hurt, worst case is they smack me down and
tell me what we fudged up. Smile

For the sake of curiosity (if anyone is), here is the channel
information for the Polycom while it's in the frozen state. Just
below that is the output from kicking it.

Sorry to be a pest, but does anyone have any ideas on this? I've
opened a bug, but I was hoping someone else on the list has
encountered this issue before.

Thanks,
Jason

Does the Polycom have the Buddy List turned on? We had an IP601 that
would reboot (or lock up) about 60% of the time when IT started a
"Page All" (which is nothing but a meetme). All of the other phones
would send their "status" for the Buddy List to the IP601 and would
simply overwhelm it - causing a reboot.

Just a shot in the dark...
