Hi, I just got some interesting information from Kirk Telecom (www.kirktelecom.com). This company has been in the business of providing DECT solutions (IP gateway, base stations, repeaters and handsets) either to be used with Cisco CallManager (SCCP protocol) or with the Innovaphone IP PBX system (H.323). Two important elements: 1. It seems they foresee a SIP version of their product in Q1 2005. 2. They are open to perform integration tests with asterisk, provided there is sufficient business potential. In order to convince them about the business potential of an asterisk integration, I would like to ask you to drop me an email stating the number of DECT installations and associated DECT phones you might be able to sell in 2005, provided the Kirk solution proved to interoperate with asterisk (either H323 or SIP). Best regards, Jordi -- w w w . e s c a u x . c o m IPTel : 02 686 09 02 IPFax : 02 686 09 08 Email : jordi.nelissen@escaux.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jordi, E s c a u x - Jordi Nelissen wrote:> 1. It seems they foresee a SIP version of their product in Q1 2005.Does this mean they will release an image for their '600' system? I'm currently trying to implement it in a meaningful way in an office enviroment, six handsets, but neither H.323 (dialplan and extra gatekeeper woes) nor Skinny (channel driver issues) perform as hoped... A SIP image for this device would be very exciting news! Regards, Dirk-Jan
I already did testing with the unit you are talking about and the status is that it is NOT working. Search the list on IP600 and asterisk. In brief: Their Skinny implementation makes the IP600 wait for an extra signal and refuses to ring any handset without it. The 'original' Cisco 7940 (which it emulates) doesn't require this signal. If you use chan_sccp the phones will not register (don't know why yet) and Jan Czmok was't sure if this extra signal (STATION_CALLINFO) is in chan_sccp anyway. Outgoing calls work but soundlevel is too low. H323 : Works for incoming and outgoing calls but none of the call features (hold, transfer etc.) work. This is too little funcitionaly to say that it works. If have had extensive contact about these issues with Kirk support. At the moment the units are very interesting but useless with *. The only thing we can do is keep asking for support to all the Kirk offices in every country or to keep enquiring their sales. I can provide tcpdumps, logs etc. if anyone is interested. I haven't heard anything about SIP support, I have it will be in the next firmware release for the IP600. Cheers!

Hi Benoit, Have you actually implemented an asterisk installation? Can you provide more information about how this works?
