Setting Up the Polycom VVX 1500 D Phone
2 - 7
The following information should be noted:
If the phone has only the H.323 protocol enabled, it cannot be used to
answer SIP calls.
If the phone has only the SIP protocol enabled, it cannot be used to answer
H.323 calls.
If both SIP and H.323 protocols are disabled by mistake, the phone will
continue to work as a SIP-only phone; however, the phone is not
registered (you are able to send and receive SIP URL calls).
The protocol that is used to place a call is stored in the placed call list of the
user’s phone.
The protocol to be used when placing a call from the user’s local contact
directory is unspecified by default. The user can select SIP or H.323.
The protocol that is used when placing a call from the user’s corporate
directory depends on the order of the attributes in the corporate directory.
If only SIP_address is defined, then the SIP protocol is used. If only
H323_address is defined, then the H.323 protocol is used. If both are
defined, then the one that is defined first is used. For example, if
dir.corp.attribute.4.type
is SIP_address and
dir.corp.attribute.5.type
is H323_address, then the SIP protocol is
used.
By default, the user is presented with protocol routing choices when a call
could be placed with more than one protocol from its current context. The
user must choose between SIP and H.323 to place a call by pressing the
appropriate soft key.
Calls made using H.323 cannot be forwarded or transferred.
The Transfer and Forward soft keys are not displayed during an
H.323 call on a Polycom VVX 1500 D phone. The Forward soft key is
not displayed on the idle display of a Polycom VVX 1500 D phone if
the primary line is an H.323 line.
If a Polycom VVX 1500 D user presses the Transfer soft key during an
H.323 call on a Polycom VVX 1500 D phone, no action is taken.
The auto-divert field in the local contact directory entry is ignored
when a call is placed to that contact using H.323.
If a conference host ends a three-way conference the call and one of the
party is connected by H.323, that party is not transferred to the other
party.
