I purchased couple of SNOM 190 phones last week. Connected them to the Asterisk server, and they seemed to work fine. However, after sometime they seem to lose registration with Asterisk as I can make calls but cannot receive calls. I hope this is due to some incorrect setting on my part but cannot figure out what? Any suggestions? The headset (has Lucent's logo on them but look like Plantronics') would not work properly either. There is no audio on the other side whereas the same headset works great with GS HandyTone-Analog Phone combination. Finally, I tried putting an amplifier in the middle and now the headset works ok. The handset keeps falling off the cradle. Very poor design IMO. In any case, now that I have purchased the SNOM 190 phones (with a lot of expectation I must add), I have to live with it. Any suggestion about what do I need to change so that it can always receive calls. Thanks, -- sudhir
I have 190's and a 200. Very pleased with the phones (headset 'Chinch connectors' are a little quiet on the 190's but better on the 200, cetainly loud enough to be usable. Not tried the RJ connector as don't have any compatible headsets.) Never experienced a problem with them losing registration. Are you using the latest firmware? In all I am very impressed with the Snom kit. And have got Pingtel hardphones, Cisco 7960, Siemens Optipoint 400, Mitel 5055 and Grandstream Budgtone 100. -----Original Message----- From: Sudhir Kumar [mailto:sudhir1@adelphia.net] Sent: 13 October 2004 23:16 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] SNOM 190: Good or crappy I purchased couple of SNOM 190 phones last week.

[Asterisk-Users] SNOM 190: Good or crappy

It is probably a combination of your settings in sip.conf (maxexpirey & defaultexpirey) and the 'Proposed Expiry' of the snom (defaults to 1 hour, user_expiry1: 3600)> The headset (has Lucent's logo on them but look like Plantronics') > would > not work properly either.

Our snom headsets do not have any logo on it. One of the tech people from Snom told me they have a built-in amplifier for the microphone. Did you connect the headset to the special RJ connector? We also changed the volumes: headset_device&: headset_rj vol_headset_mic!: 8 vol_headset!: 15 In the beginning we had big problems with the headset because of an annoying buzzing sound. With help of Snom we figured out that a shielded UTP cable, connected to a grounded switch (or PC) solved this problem.> The handset keeps falling off the cradle. Very poor design IMO.Yes, could be better, but not really annoying. Regards, Joris
