[Freeswitch-users] Polycom Phones and Domains

[Andrew Fritz]

I'm attempting to configure several varieties of polycom (SoundPoint IP 
550, SoundPoint IP 601) phones to connect to a freeswitch instance using 
a domain other than default (i.e. the ip address). Everything works 
wonderfully as long as the domain is named exactly the same thing as the 
server host provided to the phone (whether that is the server's ip 
address, or a hostname resolved via dns). As long as those match 
everything is fine.

What I'm trying to sort out is, is it possible to convince the phone to 
use something other than the server's hostname/ip as the second part of 
the user name (i.e. user at host)? Or should I just resign myself to making 
the domain name some host name that can resolve via DNS?

I've tried including @somedomain in the authid field of the line of the 
phone, but freeswitch reports that the user someuser at somedomain@serverip 
couldn't be authenticated. It appears that the phone always appends the 
server name...

Does anyone know of a way that I configure a polycom to connect as 
user1 at d1 and another to connect as user2 at d2 where d1 and d2 are NOT in 
DNS or are polycoms just going to always use the server host as the @ 
part of the username?
