Update
We are happy to report that the remaining clients affected by the Polycom 3 series problem with hold and transfer are being migrated to the new configuration as we speak. We anticipate this to be completed within about 2 hours. At that time, we will ask our clients to re-boot their phones, or wait for 3am tonight when it will re-boot automatically.

An update will follow.

Update
Presently the problem with Polycom Soundpoint IP 3 series devices are unable to HOLD or Transfer a call while using TLS security.

We have applied fixes to all affected extensions as a temporary solution until our switch vendor is able to help us come to a resolution, so we can continue with TLS registration on Polycom IP3 series phones.

In the meantime, all devices work, however some users registering with TLS will not be able to hold or transfer a call. If your device is unable to hold or transfer calls, please first try restarting your device. If you are still unable to make calls, please email support@melotel.com for assistance. The solution is very easy.

We're working thru active registrations now and we determined this affects a very small number of customers, most of who are already aware of the issue and the fix is in progress now.

The next update to this ticket will come Sunday morning.

If you are still unable to make calls, please email support@melotel.com for assistance.

Identified
We are aware of a problem with Polycom phones on firmware 4.0.13 using TLS that when placing a call on hold, they are unable to retrieve the call.

We have an open bug report with our switch vendor and Polycom to find a solution.

in the meantime, we have a workaround for affected customers.

If you are using a Polycom IP3XX series device and having difficulty placing calls on hold, please email support@melotel.com for a support representative to work with you to correct the problem remotely.

The consequence to restoring the ability to pickup a call from being on hold will result in any CloudSoftphone App to stop working.

We are working with our vendors to find the solution and hope to update customers soon.
