For years I have had dozens of VVX 310 phones on UC 5.2 which have been able to share lines and pick up held calls on the shared lines from any other phone. I recently introduced a couple newer VVX 311 phones on UC 5.5 and now calls held on those newer phones cannot be picked up by another phone when pusing the held line. Instead, the older phones will start a new call instead of resuming the held call, even though the line light is blinking showing that there is a held call. I figure there might be some new software setting (perhaps something like remoteActiveHoldAsActive?) that is changing the default behavior of the newer phones/software.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Looks like Freeswitch has worked around this change in the Polycom firmware: https://freeswitch.org/jira/browse/FS-9685 (included in Freeswitch v1.8.0)
Hello @dillaman ,
welcome to the Poly Community.
Both the communities Must Read First and the FAQ reference the basic minimum information a new or follow up post should contain.
This ensures the questions having to be asked are limited and any new or follow up post contains the right amount of details to ensure any voluntary participant within the community does not spend additional time chasing basic information.
As a reminder the basic information asked for:
UC Software 4.0.0 or later via the Web Interface Utilities > Phone Backup & Restore > Phone Backup > Phone Backup. Please rename into .TXT or Zip the file to attach.
Since UC Software 5.9.0 simply provide this via the Web Interface Diagnostics > Download Support Information Package
Whilst providing some of these details may not directly impact any possible answer the community can provide, it does enable Poly to have an overview of the current software used. In addition, providing all details at the same time allow us to check logs or look up potential support partners if an issue needs to come into support. It also enables us to verify the entitlement for using features.
UC Software 5.2.x and 5.5.x are no longer supported so you should be testing this with a current software like UC Software 5.9.2 or 5.8.3 instead.
A good way for you to check the difference in addition would be to compare a backup of both phones.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

In order to raise a support ticket, you need to work with your Poly reseller as they need to do this for you.
End Customers are unable to open a ticket directly with Poly support.
If this is some sort of an Internet discounter providing your MAC address or your Poly devices serial will enable us to look up who would be able to support you. This may not be who you purchased the Poly device from.
If the unit is no longer within warranty please be prepared to Pay Per Incident / PPI. This is all outlined in detail here

----------------I should also note that looking at SIP captures between a functional phone and the non-functional phone, when placing a call on hold, the INVITE's "Call-info" section is different:
INVITE when held from VVX 310 / UC 5.2
... snip ...
Call-Info: <sip:ADDR>;appearance-index=1
... snip ...
NOTIFY when call held from VVX 310 / UC 5.2
... snip ...
Call-Info: <sip:ADDR>;appearance-index=1;appearance-state=held;appearance-uri="\"CID\" <sip:ADDR>"
... snip ...
INVITE when call held from VVX 311 / UC 5.5:
... snip ...
Call-Info: <sip:ADDR>;appearance-index=1;appearance-state=held
... snip ...
NOTIFY when call held from VVX 311 / UC 5.5
... snip ...
Call-Info: <sip:ADDR>;appearance-index=1;appearance-state=held;appearance-state=held;appearance-uri="\"CID\" <sip:ADDR>"
... snip ...
The newer phone / software in inserting a "appearance-state=held" in the INVITE, which Freeswitch 1.4.14 is sending to the other phones via a NOTIFY -- resulting a duplicate "appearance-state=held;".

Hello @dillaman ,
I believe this was due to a change in VOIP-29734 "Add support for BroadSoft private hold"
I am unsure why we do not have a parameter that provided at least the original behaviour prior to this change.
