XML Push action for Polycom 321 'Dial' key

[Anonymous]

After looking through the docs, and updating to the latest firmware for the Polycom 321. I still can not find a key that maps to the 'Dial' physical key on the 321's. Currently I have to have an app wait for the interdigit timeout to be able to send the call.

Any help?

Hello WilliamKing,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Feb 04, 2013 Question: Can I remotely control the Phone or send content to the Phone?

Answer: The <apps/> parameter can be used to utilize the push server controls and more information can be found => here <=

Above and usually the Admin Guides show all available keys and Dial is not one of them but you can simply use the tel:\\ command instead.

I likewise would like to push the 'Dial' key.   I am trying to do a blind transfer via push and after entry the phone number (via key presses) the user is currently forced to hit the Dial key manually.  Like WilliamKing I therefore want to know how to make the phone dial at that point.

Currently I am sending:

<PolycomIPPhone><Data priority="Critical">Key:Transfer\nKey:SoftKey3\nKey:DialPad2\nKey:DialPad1\nKey:DialPad8\nKey:DialPad6\nKey:DialPad7\nKey:DialPad7\n
Key:DialPad3</Data></PolycomIPPhone>

The screen shows 'Blind transfer to' and the dialled number appears.  But how do I make it dial?  I have tried adding Key:Handfree but the phone does something but never rings the outbound number.

I;ve also tried using 'tel' as mentioned:

<PolycomIPPhone><Data priority="Critical">Key:Transfer\nKey:SoftKey3\ntel:\\2186773</Data></PolycomIPPhone>

but that just causes the phone to display Hold(\\2186773)

Is there anyway to do a blind transfer using the push commands?

Likewise for a supervised transfer I have the same issue (with 4.1.0.84959 on an IP321)

Hi Paul and all,

in order to transfer the call I quickly tried:

priority="critical">Key:Transfer

 above places the current call on hold

You can then simply

priority="critical">tel:\\3010

 which will then dial extension 3010

and then another

priority="critical">Key:Transfer

Above works for me

Best Regards

Sorry I forgot to state I am trying to perform a blind transfer (without using SoftKeys that move around)

While 'tel:8000' works for the transfer scenarios, I still think that the 'Dial' key should be added. I now have to work around the fact that it works on all models except the 321.

I have a polycom IP 650 I'm working with:

I have apps.push configured as per the instructions.  Push messages work fine.  I can get the sample fire drill message to display.

Here's my issue:

When I send the following:

<PolycomIPPhone><Data priority="critical">Key:Status</Data></PolycomIPPhone>

The phone screen displays the message Key:Status as if it was a message broadcast.  It does not execute any commands.  I've tried various Key commands and many others and no matter what I do, it just displays the message instead of executing a command.

Re-visiting this old issue that was never resolved.

We're still trying to get *basic* functionality of <Data> push commands working.

Now we're using VVX 450, VVX 411

And Software 6.0.0 and 6.1.0

The following does not work!!!

<PolycomIPPhone><Data priority="critical">Key:Status</Data></PolycomIPPhone>

This type of thing is straight from the Polycom Web Application Developers Guide.

Page 26,

The guide states that you can send the following in a push for execution

<PolycomIPPhone>
<Data priority=”Important”>
Key:Line1
Key:DialPad0
Key:DialPad1
</Data>
</PolycomIPPhone>

I send this data with:

curl --digest -u vvxmanager:vvxmanager \
-d @/tmp/test_polycom_push_data \
--header "Content-Type: application/x-com-Polycom-spipx" https://${IP}/push -k

Is the guide wrong?  Is there a firmware bug?  Is this feature missing entirely from the firmware?
