Time and temp for Polycom 650
During a PBX installation, I was approached with concern about the microbrowser on the Polycom 650 phones being used. The client liked the browser feature, but was concerned about security risks with it being implemented. When it got down to it, he wanted the feature, but didn’t really want to use it yet. It was suggested that the microbrowser give immediate access to a weather forecast, he jumped at that and we set to work. First we setup a proxy server that disallowed all access to the internet. Then we grabbed feed2html.py and installed that on the server. We setup cron to update hourly from the NOAA weather feed. We configured the custom.cfg file(see below) for their polycom phones to bind the “Applications” button to the weather page and forced the proxy to our squid installation. Now his users have immediate access to the weather, and he knows exactly what the phones try to pull from the web.
