Hi, A few things to follow: - Make sure the phone is set to use DHCP. - Make sure in the same configuration screen that it honors option 66. - Here is a fraction from my dhcpd.conf file: option domain-name "phones.huji.ac.il"; option domain-name-servers 10.64.0.3, 10.64.0.4; ddns-update-style ad-hoc; default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 7200; authoritative; option option-66 code 66 = string; option option-67 code 67 = string; option option-128 code 128 = string; option option-160 code 160 = string; subnet 10.64.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 7200; option routers 10.64.1.1; option ntp-servers 10.64.0.3; range 10.64.1.250 10.64.1.252; range dynamic-bootp 10.64.1.253 10.64.1.254; } host phone-cc-80601-401 { default-lease-time 600000; hardware ethernet 00:04:f2:14:7a:9d; fixed-address 10.64.1.20; option option-66 "tftp://10.64.0.3/POLYCOM_OLD_501/"; } Next, try to boot and run TCPDUMP in parallel. Send me its output (preferably the CAP file). Regards, __Yehavi: 2012/7/13 Todd Bailey <toddb@toddbailey.net>
Thanks,
I'm working through the wiki and it's fairly cryptic.
The tftp boot server work right off the bat and once I got past getting the phone to work, once I connected and powered up it went out and got the latest code. So now the phone is running 3.1.8
Initially, I built all the config files as outlined in the wiki, but the phone never auto provisioned, eventually I just went into the web set on the phone and got minimal functionality working.
One of my to-do items is to get full functionality for phone services via tftp services, so I can add additional lines and phones, and a nice to have feature is perhaps a few side apps when I can have misc. apps available like weather, traffic, streaming music, etc.
I'm not sure what the capabilities of this phone are so it all a research and work in progress project at this point.
perhaps I'll find some prebuilt apps so I don't have to spend a lot of time reinventing things.
For now I can send and receive calls and nothing else, but it's a start.
Buyers remorse? yes I would have liked a high res color screen, and newer & more capabilities but considering the total cost of $25 bucks, it's workable starting point.

Hell Todd,
If you've created the right config files then it should work immediately. However, if you haven't used Polycoms so far I doubt you have the perfect config files. It also depends on which additional functionality you want (like extended function keys, etc.).
Polycom's guide includes everything, but it is sort of a refference manual and not a user guide.
I suggest you start with the WIKI as it have examples.

2012/7/9 Todd Bailey <toddb@toddbailey.net> Hey all, I just purchased this phone ( ebay $35 total) and should be here in a few days. I think I got a boot server (tftp) all set up so the phone will have a place to get the latest boot code.
I've read through most of the FS user docs on this phone and it seems like it should be plug and play after I get the configuration files updated and in place. I not sure what to expect, for the initial install. Basic functionality and maybe a few higher features or does the fun begin after the phone is installed?
This phone is intended as a beta test, if it works ok, meaning plug in and it works and advanced features don't take days or weeks to sort out, I'll be adding a few more.
Any one have experience with this particular phone on FS and any issues or gotcha's to be aware of?
thanks
