[Asterisk-Users] UTStarcom F1000 WiFi IP Phone Review

I bought a UTStarcom F1000 WiFi IP Phone from
http://www.luxoncomm.com and tested it with Asterisk.
This is a my first impression of the device.

    The F1000 supports SIP. It looks and operates like
a cell phone, and connects to the Internet through
WiFi, so you can use it at any WiFi hotspot. I set up
a 802.11b wi-fi network with a Linksys BEFW11S4
Wireless-B broadband router with no security
requirement and SSID broadcast enabled. When I turned
on the F1000 it automatically picked up the signal and
connected to the network.

    Usage of the keypad is pretty intuitive, the
buttons are the same as on a cell phone, I didn't
bother to read the user guide. ;-)  I scrolled to the
Wi-Fi configuration menu and entered the domain of my
asterisk server as the SIP proxy. In the same section
I entered my asterisk user name and password. After a
reboot the phone was registered to my asterisk server!
I made a few calls and the call quality was fine,
similar to a regular IP phone.

    I then took the phone to the office, it also
picked up the wifi signal there and connected to the
Internet automatically. Nice! I showed it off to my
colleague and they wanted to get one too.

    I will follow up with a review of the advanced
features such as call transfer and 3-way calling.

This quotes 48-80 hours standby, so you can probably
reckon on it being towards
the lower end of that in reality.

Would be interested to hear the retail price of these
(rather than the Vonage
bundled price)

[Asterisk-Users] UTStarcom F1000 WiFi IP Phone Review

I keep getting asked by people if these types of wifi phones are
capable at all of getting onto the type of wifi network where you have
to login via http (web page) such as is typical at many hotels in
the us.

Since I do not have one of these phones I have not been able to try it.
Seems the phone would need a simple browser in order to do that.

Does anyone know if any of the wifi phones can do this?

Thanks!

Steve

[Asterisk-Users] UTStarcom F1000 WiFi IP Phone Review

Hi Steve.

I think the proxy authorization is just for WWW access(tcp 80 and 443), 
if some VoIP port is open you will be able to access your provider 
without auth.

I just talked to someone at http://www.luxoncomm.com,
he said authentication via http will be supported in
the next firmware release (2.8), due out in a couple
of weeks.

[Asterisk-Users] UTStarcom F1000 WiFi IP Phone Review

Hi weicheng,

I found your e-mail at the list. I bought a F1000 and configured it to
connect on my Asterisk@home.

But, some times the call is completed, some times no. Some times the F1000
call the other phone, but when I answer, I don't heard anything. Some times
I call, I answer and heard the voice.

I have Xten Soft phone, Soyo IP Phone and Polycom Ip Phone and all of them
work good. I Just have problem with the F1000...

I'm put bellow my SIP.CONF and ADDITIONAL.CONF:

[general]

port = 5060           ; Port to bind to (SIP is 5060)
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0    ; Address to bind to (all addresses on machine)
disallow=all
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
#allow=gsm
#allow=g723.1
#allow=g729
context = from-sip-external ; Send unknown SIP callers to this context
callerid = Unknown

#include sip_nat.conf
#include sip_custom.conf
#include sip_additional.conf
#allow=alaw
#allow=gsm


additional.comf

[215]
username=215
type=friend
secret=215
record_out=Always
record_in=Always
qualify=no
port=5060
nat=never
mailbox=215@default
host=dynamic
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=from-internal
canreinvite=no
callerid="wifi" <215>


On the F1000 I put RPT as 11100...


Can you help me?

Regards,

ZN - Brazil
