So I have followed the instructions and have the Polycom IP601 and IP501 and IP500 using BLF on Parked lines. Works great however…
When Asterisk starts up, it indicates all the “Parked” hints as “On the phone” which on the Polycoms interprets that the extension is busy - thus there is a call on the parked extension. This is not correct.
To reset this, a call has to be parked and then answered and then hung up for the Buddy to go to “Online” which means the parked line available but not busy.
Is this an asterisk bug. This happens each time the Astersik server is restarted. The other IP phone buddy status’ are OK from the restart on.
Is there a way to tell Asterisk to notify/update SUBSCRIBERS of the correct status/PRESENCE for the users and the Parked lines?
