SerranoAITech Mar 30, 2014 at 11:02pmI just went through this process a few days ago, it's nice to confirm I got the steps right! Thanks for taking the time to write this out, with screenshots and everything. Unfortunately I'm using SNOM phones and not Polycom phones, otherwise this is pretty much identical.
I wish I understood the differences in the colors, I can't seem to locate a good reference for that. Perhaps I'll go post a question. :) -
SerranogitClaus Jun 25, 2014 at 08:03pmWe are looking at switching to this in the near future. I will definitely be referencing this if we do. Thanks for posting.

Pimientodavewegener Aug 28, 2015 at 02:57pmThis is great. very helpful. Except that the folks at PBXiaf have moved the goalposts YET AGAIN, redoing how the install works, how the configs are made, and of course all the references are handled..IF you're on 6.5 but NOT the 64bit version, this should still work..
