Configuring the Polycom SoundPoint IP 501 SIP Device. At this point, I recommend you go in through the interface on the phone itself to configure as much as you can. Why? Because as I mentioned earlier, the web interface takes forever to become active after a reboot, and it has to reboot a LOT if you do all this on the web. Fortunately, most of the settings can be done on the phone itself...in fact, only tweaks for setting up the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) light functionality and registering the Asterisk server under the individual lines need be doneon the web interface.
Press the Menu button, then go to "3. Settings..." and then "2. Advanced...". Enter in the admin password of 456 again. Choose "Admin Settings..." and then "Reset to Default" and "Reset Local Config." IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, SOME OF THE SETTINGS YOU MAKE BELOW WILL NOT BE SAVED. You need to overwrite the data that was in the XML configuration files on the TFTP server. (By the way, you can use the Format File System option under this menu to completely wipe everything away, including all ROM files and most settings, and start over from scratch.)
After rebooting, go back to Menu/Settings/Advanded and put in the following important settings:
1. Admin Settings
1. Network Configuration
This is the same as you edited during boot, for reference.
DHCP Client: Disabled
Phone IP Addr:
Subnet Mask:
IP Gateway:
for now leave other setting for default/Disabled
Save config -> Reboot phone

Line1: ...
This sub-menu is one of three, with Line2 and Line3 allowing you to add up
to three different extensions to the phone. There are three soft buttons
along the left of the display which show these lines. For the purposes
of this config (and what most people will do anyway), you'll have all
three of these lines show up as the same extension, so people can receive
and make multiple calls simultaneously.
Display Name
Address
This is the extension number in Asterisk. To continue the example,
we'll set this as 510 to match our Asterisk config.
Auth User ID
Put the extension number in here again.
Auth Password
This is where you put the "password=" or "secret=" value from your
sip.conf file. In our example, this was "polycom" or the extension number.
Num Line Keys / Third Party Name
Here is where you tell the phone how many soft buttons to assign
this line. As mentioned above, we'll put 3 here so that we have
three instances of the line.

Put 5060 in here.
