asterisk users - Jan 2005 - New Sipura-841 phone.Mike volume problem.

Well I just need to say I got my phone last week. Here is my quick review of the
phone and hope that someone has a possible fix for it or I will be sending it
back.

First the phone is nice looking in my view and it's heavy so it feels like a
real desk phone.  But it has these stick, gummy or I really don't know how
to describe the bottoms on the phone.  There good size but when you press them
they feel like they are dirty with some sticky stuff on them. They don't get
stuck but feel that way.

Here is my problem.  The mike is really bad on the phone. It's not the hand
set or the plugging via the 2.5 plug on the side. It's something to do with
the phone hardware internal.  I can tap on the mike and I hear a faint tap on
the other end. But unless you scream into the handset or mike they can't
hear you.  I need to see if there is some type of fix for this.

Registration and setup is just like all of the Sipura devices via the web. In
fact most of the setting are almost line by line like the Sipura 2100.  Looks
great on how they did that.

Sounds  like you've got a problem with your microphone. I got my
SPA-841 a while ago and the microphone works just fine. I don't have
to scream into it.

I like the phone a lot. I agree with you that the buttons have a
somewhat odd feel. They're sort of rubbery and don't slide like
plastic ones, but they do work just fine.

Another thing that bothered me was that there was no documentation
with the phone. I mailed support about it and they said the docs are
due out early next week and would be available on the support website.
The setup is very much like the other Sipura devices, so the existing
ATA documentation covers most of what you need. I'm curious about
things like custom ring tones, and displaying things on the LCD which
I hope the real manual will explain.

The other question I asked was about intercom support. They claim it's
on their feature list and should arrive in a firmware update some time
this quarter.  That would be a really useful feature for the phone.

The MWI light works with Asterisk. There's a voicemail button you can
program to call whatever number gets you to your voicemail. So those
work nicely together.  Overall it's got a nice set of features for a
business phone at a very reasonable price.
