Does Polycom video endpoints - G500/HDX 6K,7K support calling numbers starting with '#'.
For example: place a SIP call to #8234234234
we have about 80 polycom units registered to Cisco UCM and to simplify the dialling, i want to be able to dial video end-point/MCU starting with '#'
I have tried this and dont see the call getting placed... is it supported and if so any additional configuraiton to be done?
I am able to dial #number using non-polycom /cisco SIP end-points registered to Cisco UCM.
thanks for your time.

Polycom only sends the digits entered verbatim to the Call Server. The endpoint does no local normalization or translation of dial plans. If the Call Server has a specified Dial Plan for Call Routing, then it would need to be handled at the call server.
I did find this...about the # is used to terminate inter-digit timeout... but I still don't see that as a factor in Polycom:
