The thing is with the polycom configs, theres really only a few things you actually have to touch from the default configs... And their 500 page admin guide is that size because they exhaustively document things... They even document the settings you should never touch... And that's a good idea for the weekly conference call! I like it... We'll get that one on the schedule soon! K On 8/16/13 8:14 AM, "Patrick Lists" <freeswitch-list@puzzled.xs4all.nl> wrote:

Compared to other brands Polycom sure could make it easier to configure their phones. The zillion (sub-sub-sub-sub-)xml options, (afaik) lack of a good xml editor that can handle the Polycom xml files on Linux and a 500 page admin guide don't really scream easy. The bootserver is easy, IMHO an advanced configuration with a lot of features not so much.
Perhaps it's an idea to do a few "How to become a Polycom config master" sessions during the weekly conf call with video showing the steps to configure a Polycom phone with basic, advanced and very advanced configs?
