Ringotel App Causing Polycom Phones to Drop from Fusion PBX Registration

Issue:
After adding Ringotel to my Fusion PBX system, my connected Polycom phones stopped ringing—all calls started routing only through Ringotel, bypassing the desk phones. While Ringotel acts as an endpoint, I expected all devices (desk phones and the app) to ring simultaneously.

Observations:

  • When I deactivate an extension in Ringotel, the Polycom phone reappears in the Fusion PBX registration list.
  • The Polycom phones still appear registered on their LCD screens and can make outbound calls, but they vanish from the PBX server’s registration list.
  • Rebooting the phones makes them reappear briefly before disappearing again.
Goal:
I want to use Ringotel only as a softphone/desktop companion, not to replace my desk phones. I don’t want to manually add the Polycom phones to Ringotel’s system.

Question:
Has anyone experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it?
 
@Jasonpbx Most likely your Poly phone and your Ringotel softphone are fighting for the same extension, overriding each other upon every registration attempt. Look into these Sofia profile settings multiple-registrations and max-registrations....something (can't remember exactly what it is called)
 
Did you clear the cache, reload the SIP config, and for good measure, restart Freeswitch? If you didn't, chances are you are using a stale cached configuration without your changes.
