I am looking for completly wireless desktop phones. Until I realized we needed wireless i was going to use polycom soundpoint 501's. Any suggestions on a comparable wireless phone? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yeh Jordan, my suggestion is don't. If you read this list you'll find plenty of people complaining about wireless functionality, the hardware/technology just isn't there yet. Stick with wired phones and one or two wireless for particular people for now, maybe in 12-18 month things might change.

Okay, I get it. I still have a problem though. I have no way to wire 30%
of these end-points. P{hysically impossible. They do have cat3 twisted
pair to each phone. But of course they want IP. Are there any adpaters
that will give me just enough bandwidth to get it done. The computer
network is all wireless so the phones would have all the bandwidth.

I have run into a few hits on Google, that may help. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=434&sec=0 Doug -- Ben Franklin quote: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

A half decent manageable 10/100 switch will be able to lock the ports to 10Mb. 10 megabits is plenty for voice. Depending on the quality of the wiring, your mileage may vary. Take care to use proper structured wiring techniques. Put Cat5 sockets on the desk end and a patch panel in the closet. DO NOT crimp RJ45 connectors onto building wiring. They are not meant for this type of cable and THEY WILL NOT BE RELIABLE. regards, Drew -- Drew Gibson Systems Administrator OANDA Corporation www.oanda.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Frankly, it's worth the extra coin to get a cable run done to wherever you need it. -Stephen-

Hi Tobias and the list, Yes, I have, I use and sell them to integrators ;-) But only the "600v3 family", not the older ISND or analog versions, and the current DECT handsets 40XX. Any Digium interfaces run well with them as any SIP IP-Phone, of course. The sound quality is GREAT and the infrastructure deployment possibilities wonderfull and scalable ! But, you must run a training with the company to well understand the "how to do" and capture the knowledge. I must also say that I am a "radio guru" and it's certainly easyer for me to understand this kind of equipments and how to avoid the deployment traps that an engineer who doesn't know what are radiocommunications but only VoIP. I have run them behind all current Asterisk versions, including the ASteriskNOW. Check about your codecs as usual. The last firmware from this last week suppresses few minor buggs occured during roaming in few previous cases.

Currently I have some test devices from Kirk (KIRK Wireless Server 600/3 with SIP protocoll and a couple of handsets). But i am not able to get audio between the handset and the destination then i call a zap channel. Calling another Kirk handset or another SIP phone (Snom) works quite well, then i dont put any options in the Dial Command. Otherwise i dont't get any audio also. Signalling a call is no problem. It would be great to hear from you if your setup work perfectly and what your enviroment is (Asterisk Version, type of Kirk Server). Thanks in advance, Tobias Wolf
