I received a sample IP/Speakerphone from my friends in China today. Asterisk setup was fairly uncomplicated and I had it running as an extension on my server within a few minutes. Sounds quality of both the receiver and the speakerphone are fine (wife's opinion). Are there any tests I should run with this phone? Following are the specs: - Single line appearance - Alpha display, 2x16 chars - Configurable by telnet and http; password protected - upgradeable by tftp - Protocols: sip, mgcp, h323 (only tested SIP) - DHCP or static address; support for NAT traversal - g729,g711u,g711a,g723 - configurable ringtones, user-downloadable ringtones - hold button works with asterisk - inband, rfc2833 dtmf-modes - second RJ45 PC port Physical: - 8.5" x 8.0" x 2.0" (WxDxH) - flat-black plastic - LCD can be tilted up for visibility up to about 80 degrees - Large number buttons, 13 function buttons (redial, volume, etc) Shortfalls: - Caller-ID Name doesn't seem to work - MWI doesn't seem to exist - Dialplan isn't very flexible (pretty much requires #/send for all numbers) - PC port *may* be legacy (10mbps), not FastEthernet (100mbps); not yet benchmarked Requested improvements: - Second line appearance - configurable soft-keys - distinctive ring w/ auto-answer I should be able to resell these for $75 in quantity, $80-$85 for samples/endusers. Any takers? Once the CID Name & MWI are fixed, I'll set up a pre-order list, and if there's enough interest I'll import a batch.
Is it possible to ask this 'friends' to incorperate the Speex codec in the phone. That would be like a real cool feature. Stefan

The one thing not available in any low cost SIP phone is auto-answer
controllable via SIP.
i.e. enable microphone only, enable speaker only, or enable both.
Grandstream has an option to enable auto answer in its configuration screen, but
since once enabled,
it always auto-answers and it only has one line appearance, its not much use.
You need this feature to do paging and intercom with handsfree talkback.
See:

for more information.

Does it support 802.3af Power over Ethernet?

Nope, already checked. Comes with a 9V wall-wart that may or may not be UL listed (currently checking). They already got FTP-based provisioning working, and say my other requests are in the queue.> -----Original Message----- > From: Harry McGregor [mailto:hmcgregor@espri.arizona.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 8:40 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Special Delivery from China > > > Does it support 802.3af Power over Ethernet? > > Harry > > <snip> > > -- > Harry McGregor, Computing Manager > Tucson Support Group - U.S. Geological Survey > University of Arizona - Environment and Natural Resource > Building 520-670-5574 (office) - hmcgregor@espri.arizona.edu > 520-661-7875 (Cell) - hmcgregor@usgs.gov > > The opinions/statements expressed herein are my own and > should not be taken as a position, opinion, or endorsement of > the University of Arizona or the U.S. Geological Survey. > > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/aster> isk-users > To > UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: >http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Another approach would be to sell the hardware without firmware and start and opensource project to build firmware for it. It would seem like this could be a good niche for a small manufacturing company. Jim James H.

Hi,I have bought a voip phone based on PA1688 last year. Trying to implement the iax client on it. Because the phone is very cheap. (I got it from China with the price of $55). But after I gathered more informations I find it is impossible. The PA1688 chip is a 8bit CPU with the 8051 core. We can't port linux even uclinux to it. And the most important is that the datasheet for PA1688 is few. If anyone could port the iax client to this kind of phone,it would be greate!>From: Holger Schurig <hs4233@mail.mn-solutions.de> >Reply-To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com >To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com >Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Special Delivery from China >Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2004 09:11:39 +0200 > > > For example: > > http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/ > > SDCC is a Freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler that > > targets the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390 and the Zilog Z80 based MCUs. > > Work is in progress on supporting the Motorola 68HC08 as well as > > Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 series.

If you want to have the chance to use their API, you will have to buy at least 3000 pieces of the PA1688 chip one time. Otherwise,you will have to write it yourself.
