They say it features a 10Mb Ethernet port but supports both 10Base T and 100Base TX!

> Has anyone tried the new ariavoice $89 VOIP desk phone with Asterisk? > > ` http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-AriaVoiceI am trying it this evening. It is sitting next to my desk, but in white. From what I know so far, this is just another phone based on the PA168 chip from Centrality Comm, so it has it's pro's and con's. For example, the ATCOM AT-323 is very similar. Today I heard from a german reseller of AT323 phones that they now support the IAX protocol. So, put the multiprotocol-capability feature below it's pro-list.
I dont agree with this view of yours below about the usefulness of ethernet ports.> but they're 10mbit, so they're essentially useless, > unless you plug in a printer or something slowAll that you need is 64Kbps at the highest on these ports to establish a Voice call. Even if you are running a Video Phone, all you need may be 512Kbps at 32Fips. Why do you need any thing that is capable of a larger bandwidth?

Not worth $89, IMHO. If does have two eth ports, but they're 10mbit, so they're essentially useless, unless you plug in a printer or something slow. Only one call appearance, and (with my software) the caller-name didn't work, only calling number. Lastly, the included power-supply wasn't UL listed, which would preclude its use in an office environment (OSHA and friends come to mind)> -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Critchfield [mailto:critch@basesys.com] > Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 11:18 AM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] New $89 VOIP phone > > > On Mon, 2004-08-16 at 10:41, Vlok Stone wrote: > > Only 1 eth port though.

What device are you going to chain off of the phone? A PC would be a bad idea. -- END OF LINE -MCP

Bingo! > > Again, this kind of thing might be ok for a small home > network, but you > can't seriously suggest it for a business...As long as you wire them up correctly, will not be a problem: I wire them as RJ45 socket 1: pins 1&2 (TX+/-) to orange pair, pins 3&6 (RX+/-) green pair RJ45 socket 2: pins 1&2 (TX+/-) to brown pair, pins 3&6 (RX+/-) blue pair The fact that the signals run down a twisted pair REDUCES cross talk, which is why the cables CAN be unshielded. Think about it, the only thing separating two cables is the grey plastic! and they don't crosstalk. Seems, kind-of, environmentally unfriendly leaving all of those pairs left unused..... Anyway, belkin et all sell the cable economizers so it must be fine ;-) PLEASE READ: The information contained in this email is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
