I'm just wondering if anyone knows the story with these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5721202362&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT He claims they support IAX2 and SIP... but almost no history on the account selling them. I didn't see anything in the wiki about this company either.. Does anyone have any history with these phones? Thanks, Jared

I would like clarify a few things for the record about eezeephone which is a rebranded version of ATCOM IP Phone, based on the PA1688 Chip. Netweb Group, Inc is the sole distributor for USA and Canada. Eezeephone is the OEM Version sold in US market. The URL for this phone is http://ipphone.eezeephone.com The Information on WIKI Pages is not all facts. Most of it is fiction or at most factually incorrect. I feel sorry that Wiki continues to maintain this information. Wiki: Grandstreams are sometimes cheaper, I've seen them for about 55 US$ Ans: I have not seen any of them being sold at that price. Can Wiki name a reseller who was selling it for $55.00, at the time? Grandstream has SIP but eezeephone has all the protocols you one needs. Let us not compare apples and oranges. Obviously this guy loves Grandstream, for all its button freezes and resets required every hour. Wiki: There is no Early-Dial function, you always have to press the "Call" button after a number. However, this button is rather small Ans: # is used for early dial determination. No need to press "Call". Timeout works to place the call. Wiki: at the top of the phone are 10 speed dial buttons. Even with my little finger I cannot press only one of them, I always press two or more. Ans: I use thumb and other sloppy fingers, But I have never pressed two buttons at once on this phone, even when I wanted to. Wiki: the configuration page is rather crowded and sparse, it was not easy to setup the phone with Asterisk and SIP Ans: This is completely false. If you have seen Grandstream configuration and this one, you will know the difference. This (PA168X ) is much more user friendly. Wiki: the web configuration of the phone is not user friendly. When you change the config from SIP to MGCP, you have to manually change some ports from 5060 to 2427. the web config page doesn't rememeber the activation of daylight savings time and register-ttl Ans: Remember that this Phone has 2~n-1 combinations possible. 5 Protocols X 64 Options X 90 Variations. Can you really program that on a single web page? the manual comes only as a WinWord *.doc file, not a *.pdf. The pictures in it are all displaced, even when you look at it with an Original WinWord and not with OpenOffice. You can find better documentation on the web site of the Chip (not phone) manufacturer. Agreed. This is not the prettiest. Wiki: the phone can download its firmware only via FTP on Request. If you would have 50 of them, then you would have to go into the web page each, login, and select the Software upgrade option ... Ans: PA1688 Group is upgrading this to a TFTPable service setting on the Phone. But even now you can do it using the PALMTOOL available from PA1688 Group as well as from the manufacturer. Wiki: there are lots of useless buttons Ans: Those buttons serve an important function. They Call out your configurations - Client IP, Serevr IP, Gateway Address etc in IVR. Wiki: the phone is rather slow. When you put "qualify=yes" into your sip.conf, you can see that the "sip-level ping" from Asterisk to the phone in your network is 55ms. It is 3ms to a Grandstream. Also, you notice the slowless when you call the Echo application Ans: Do you know what is the purpose of Qualify=Yes and what the default value should be?If It is 3ms for Grandstream, it means it is not working. On this PA1688 phone it works and 55ms is a great timing for QOS.

Not to play devils advocate but I bought 2 Grandstream last week for $55 each (plus $20 shipping to NY), having said that the reason I had to buy one of them was the display in my old one stopped working and it was out of warranty.

I got one of these phones from the ebay reseller... In short... SIP works great.. IAX2 didn't work at all.. I couldn't even get it to use the right ports when attempting IAX... None of the docs supplied with the phone even mentioned IAX2.. and when I emailed and ask about other config guides or example configs to get IAX working.. I was told it is in development and that new firmware comes out every month... but no additional help on getting it to work.

All the example configs to have it work with asterisk were using SIP. I'm now in the process of returning the phone... Jared
This Phone is based in PA1688 Chip. When IAX2 becomes stable on that chip, it would be stable on this Phone, probably by end of November. These phones are great. They work wonderful on SIP and H323 and hence can extend the life of H323 Termination gateways like AS5300 etc. Full info on the phone is available at the resellers web site mentioned in the ebay listing. To undetstand where IAX2 is at the moment, go to the PA1688 developers webiste.

The Firmware has IAX2 in it. That is for sure. Whether it is currently fully working is in question. The title is not fraudulent as when you open the Phone it has IAX2 for configuration. He is just a reseller of the phone not the Chip manufacturer. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Steve Totaro Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 12:51 PM To: Jared Watkins; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Eezee phone?

What have you just done Steve? It is like the Soot calling the Charcoal black. Don't you know that you are the biggest spammer on this board?

The link refers to an expired auction. It is no longer listed as having IAX2. That claim was withdrawn till IAX2 on it is stabilized by the Chip manufacturer. -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

Hi This phone is based on the PA1688 chip. The rumour is that IAX2 support will be available by December...we will have to wait and see.
