[cisco-voip] Polycom SIP Phone Messages Button

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Does it work if you dial the number directly? 

What is Cisco's policy on supporting third party end devices?

>From the port status monitor tool, I can see that the Polycom phone is definitely not dialing the voicemail pilot number, but it's own extension. 

The admin guide for the SoundPoint 501 is not very straight forward. Does anyone else use these phones and can maybe send me a screenshot of the SIP and Line configuration? 

Thanks, 
Brian

You can use the port status monitor tool to help with this, but I'm with Ryan on this one (I think a similar issue came up on the list a few weeks ago). Unity needs to see the extension in question. For direct calls it will attempt a sign-in, for forwarded calls it will attempt a transfer to greeting. 

If unanswered calls to these phones go to their respective mailbox, then it's something to do with the direct calls.

While I'm no Unity Connection expert I'm pretty sure like most voicemail systems it detects you are a subscriber by the call type (direct, forward, etc) and the calling party number. For a call with no redirecting information and from a number that is assigned to a subscriber it should be prompting you to sign in. 


What number does UC see the call coming from? It may just be a formatting issue between what the phone is sending it's calling party as vs what is definied in UC (which derives from the CUCM End User page I believe).

I've got a CUCMBE 8.0(2)c system with a mix of Cisco and Polycom phones. Most Polycom's are 501 SoundPoint models and are successfully registered as SIP devices. Dialing and normal call processing are working fine. The only issue is when the Messages button is pressed on the Polycom phones. Instead of going right to the users voicemail box and asking for a PIN number like the Cisco phones do, it dials and you have to press * to get the prompt to enter mailbox number and then PIN. I can get into the web GUI for the Polycom phones, but I don't see an obvious field that would prepend the users extension when hitting the messages button. 

Does anyone else use Polycom phones as a SIP device with their CUCM and have the Messages button working like a Cisco phone would? 

Thanks,
