Hello list, I was going to buy this weekend a Wisip from http://www.pulverinnovations.com/, but jeff got out of stock and he wont have Wisip for the next 3 to 4 weeks. So I start searching for other wifi phones because I was really upset about it and I found IPC5000 from http://www.fahdtel.com/sip_phones.htm, I liked so much the pic that I email the guy and he send me the PDF with all the details you can find it here http://mike.calle69.net/IPC5000-brochure.PDF, and its almost the same price as Wisip. But when I ask if this phone will work with asterisk I got this answer "We didn't tested on Asteriskt but on IX66, hotsip, Cisoc etc... However, The IPC5000 should work on other SIP platform without any problem as it is standard based." I just dont want to spend 290 USD for a phone that wont work and that no one seems to use here. So I would like to know if anyone of you guys had try out this model or seen it working, sorry about the unnesesary traffic to the list, my question is simple would this work against asterisk???? if anyone knows any other Wifi phones besides Wisip and Ciscos expensive toy please tell me. Miguel Cavazos
Those phones look good, but, only have 10 milliwatt output. Have you looked at these: http://www.spectralink.com/products/nl-wts.html 100mw output. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Miguel Cavazos Sent: 15 February 2004 12:39 To: Asterisk Users Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Wifi Phones Hello list, I was going to buy this weekend a Wisip from http://www.pulverinnovations.com/, but jeff got out of stock and he wont have Wisip for the next 3 to 4 weeks.

Miguel, IPC5000 doesn't support G729 (8 kbps) !!!! (it only support G711 64kbps) Be carefull with what you buy.

I am also going to share this with the list since it may be helpful for other Wisip/* users out there. There are two tricks that I discovered in getting the Wisip to work with *. The first thing is to go into the Wisip's web config and select the SW/Update section. There will be an entry for a tftp server. This is tricky because it looks like an entry to get software updates but it is actually a tftp config file loader. As with many other entries in the wisip it will not allow you to put a blank entry. Just put in an fake entry and it works fine. If you don't do this you will find that no matter how many times you reenter your settings you will lose all the sips settings on each bootup :-). Note that this will be an issue even if you explicitly ordered the phone without a FWD config. Even though they offer the option on the order form they call come configured this way. The second trick is to change the outgoing proxy port from the fwd/wisip default to 5060. Otherwise it is a pretty standard sip setup. Here is the entry from my sip.conf file. If you don't have a G.729 licence then you need to switch the settings to uLaw or aLaw in the codec. Also make sure you match up the dtmf settings. [wisip] type=friend secret=blah host=dynamic context=local dtmfmode=rfc2833 callerid="Joe Schmoe" <9999> nat=yes qualify=1000 When you get it going please compare notes on functionality. So far I am finding the Wisip likes my brand new Cisco AP1100 a lot more than either an airport or linksys ap. This could however be wep as my new Ap doesn't have that setup yet. I also noticed that the volume level varies considerably depending on how you place the phone next to your ear. It really needs to be lined up just right. Once I got connected with the cisco and everything running, and the phone placed correctly against my ear I had one really clear 20 minute call with the unit while I roamed around the building. The range was really pretty good. -- Jonathan Moore Director of Technology Winfield Public Schools Office 620.221.5100 Fax 620.221.0508 Quoting Gene Brown <geneb@millry.net>:> Could you send me a copy of your sip.conf for the wisip from Pulver.

We bought a couple of the UTStarCom phones. They work fine in the office environment where noise is low, but on our production floor it is impossible for me to hear what is being said and the person on the other end of the call also says that they cannot hear a thing from the F1000 when the wireless phone is in a noisy environment. Still looking for a good WiFi phone for production/factory use. --Phil -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Vahan Yerkanian Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 5:53 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] WiFi Phones Andy Hamilton wrote:>>Anyone have good words to say about any of the WiFi handsets currently>>available? > > > The UTStarCom F1000 (an 802.11b device) works pretty well.

I've contacted voipsupply support about this and asked them to remove the 802.1x support listed on the product pages but got a cryptic reply that the phone does support 802.1x MD5.. (md5 is just a method of one of not supported 802.1x auths). Also, the max volume for the headpiece was actually quite low - in noisy environments as on streets you'll have hard time listening to the conversation. Overall, this phone is OK for home and small office use, nothing more.
