ShoreTel v13.1 SIP and BIAMP

At the beginning of the year we expanded and built a new set of training/conference rooms.  We employed GrayBow (http://www.graybow.com/) to handle the Audio/Visuals of the room.

One such feature is the use of Crestron, Revolabs for conference phones.  We have had several issues with programming the system to dial, maintain connections longer then 30 some minutes.  GrayBow has been great sending techs out and working with the vendors to resolve the issue (hoping the new firmware release fixes all the issues).  Below documents how we had to configure our ShoreTel System to acknowledge the BIAMP card in the new system.
