Hi, I've just setup a 2.2.4 server on a Dell SC440, updated the LAN driver so the Broadcom 57xx works, followed steps in 'trixbox without tears', and a little help from voip-info.org's wiki and now I have a working DHCP server, FTP server and my phone finds and loads applications, BUT, I'm getting an error:

Error in config file
Error is 0x10020

the result of tail -f log/0004f215xxxx-boot.log looks good except I keep seeing 2 things

Could not get the list of CONFIG_FILES
and
download of bootrom.ld failed on attempt 1 (addr 1 of 1).

I don't have a bootrom.ld file, and reading on Polycom's website, tells me I can't go backwards once it's installed. Is the 3.2.3 rev B a good thing for me to use or not? If not, where do I find an older one? and is this the source of my problem? I can post my config files if necessary.

Thanks,
David

Got it!

Nevermind, I found it. In the configuration file for the phone, following the instructions found on sureteq, I added aaps-settings.cfg to the macaddress.cfg file. When I did so, sip.cfg" at the end of the line got pushed to a new line. I also downloaded the 3_1_0 bootrom from Polycom's website.

CONFIG_FILES="x201.cfg, server.cfg, phone1.cfg, sip.cfg" #got changed to
CONFIG_FILES="x201.cfg, aaps-settings.cfg, server.cfg, phone1.cfg,
sip.cfg"

When I deleted the reference later to aaps-settings.cfg, sip.cfg didn't come back up to the line being edited. Did nano insert a carriage return here? I wend to end of the line and hit delete once and sip.cfg" was now at the end of the line again and I was able to continue. This took hours to figure out, but somewhere I read that nano can leave things in the files. I ftp'd them over to a windoze box and didn't find anything strange in notepad.

I was seeing different messages including 0x10000, 0x10020, and 0x0402 (or was it 4020?) during all of this poking around.

Another problem I was having was my phones weren't able to find the boot server. I finally looked on a phone after it booted and noticed that it had a DHCP IP address (reserved for the PC's - the church DHCP server is running on my trixbox). Silly me, I hadn't looked at the entire octet when adding host entries to the dhcpd.conf file. I assumed the first 4 octets were the same for all the phones, but they weren't. 5 out of 6 but not all of them, I was using the first 4 from the 6th and the other phones weren't being assigned the correct addresses.

I suppose I don't need to be this verbose, but I'm very new to this; this is my first dabble in Linux in a decade and back then I still wasn't up to speed, and my first time with anything VoIP. Perhaps silly mistakes like this will help me remember in the future.

I'm at the point where I have extensions that can call each other, and I have working voicemail. I get the Sangoma A200D hooked up to POTS lines and I should be good to go in a basic config...

For 2.2.4, trixbox without tears was somewhat helpful, but of no help setting up the station devices. SureTeq's site has been of immense help as well as http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Polycom+Soundpoint+I.... Kudos to them!
