Polycom config util

[robr]

I've read about (though never used) a Polycom config tool built into Trixbox. I'd love to see something like this in PIAF. Provisioning Polycom phones right now is a PITA. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get an FTP working with this new PIAF system. I have t*f*t*p working on my Truxbox system, but it's still not pretty nor easy, especially where my DHCP doesn't support options.

Hi

Installing t*f*t*p in PiaF is as easy as typing install-t*f*t*p at the command line.

To get the polycom to 'see' the t*f*t*p server on boot, you will need to configure option 150 in the dchp and set it to the IP address of the asterisk server. If you cant set that option then you wont be able to provision the phone.

What are you using for your DHCP server?

t*f*t*p

or you can just set up the t*f*t*p server address manually on the phone... it will get dhcp address from network and use the t*f*t*p server you entered.

i'm using PBXIAF, t*f*t*p and have phones booting from t*f*t*p with the server addressing being handed out by the dhcp server on my pbx box...however the polycom phones for some reason don't see the t*f*t*p-server option as all others do.. am I missing something? Below is my dhcpd.conf file
