Hi, We have a user who is putting large call volumes through Asterisk, and wants to BLF monitor up to 90 extensions. We are struggling to find a handset that can keep up with Asterisk :) 1) Is there a handset that will do this? 2) Is there a different (standard) way to send BLF and allow directed pickups? 2a) Or even a handset specific way? Asterisk handles the BLF volume fine, even on quite low-end hardware, but we cannot find any handsets that can cope with it longer term. Our test involves about 10 BLF-NOTIFY messages per second to each handset with a 5-second pause every 5 seconds. This will either crash or render unusable all of the following combinations: snom360 + 1 x sidecar Yealink T28 + 1 x sidecar Yealink T28 + 2 x sidecar Cisco SPA504g + 1 x sidecar Cisco SPA504g + 2 x sidecar Cisco SPA525g + 1 x sidecar (reboots often) Cisco SPA525g + 2 x sidecar (reboots quickly) Aastra 55i + non-LCD sidecar Did not try Polycom as they do not do directed pickup and only small sidecars. Linksys SPA962 with one sidecar is "OK" but is discontinued hardware. Help? Thanks, Steve
We have good success with Grandstream, but even though we monitor 100 phones, I don't think we get the amount of NOTIFY messages you describe. But you should try them.

As a side note to this - do NOT try and use Aastra's - as they tend to
crash after 50 BLF's!
Also, could you please send me (perhaps off-list to andy at datavox.co.uk)
your Yealink T28 findings - as I am a beta tester for them?
Cheers
Andy

Hi,
We have a user who is putting large call volumes through Asterisk, and
wants to BLF monitor up to 90 extensions. We are struggling to find a
handset that can keep up with Asterisk :)
1) Is there a handset that will do this?
2) Is there a different (standard) way to send BLF and allow directed
pickups?
2a) Or even a handset specific way?
Asterisk handles the BLF volume fine, even on quite low-end hardware,
but we cannot find any handsets that can cope with it longer term.
Our test involves about 10 BLF-NOTIFY messages per second to each
handset with a 5-second pause every 5 seconds. This will either crash
or render unusable all of the following combinations:
snom360 + 1 x sidecar
As Snom phones have a parameter to express a time period during which
BLF's SUBSCRIBE messages are spread and sent to Asterisk, I thought Snom
phones would handle this load more easily.
Yealink T28 + 1 x sidecar
Yealink T28 + 2 x sidecar
Cisco SPA504g + 1 x sidecar
Cisco SPA504g + 2 x sidecar
Cisco SPA525g + 1 x sidecar (reboots often)
Cisco SPA525g + 2 x sidecar (reboots quickly)
Aastra 55i + non-LCD sidecar
Did not try Polycom as they do not do directed pickup and only small
sidecars.
Linksys SPA962 with one sidecar is "OK" but is discontinued hardware.
Help?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve Grandstream has a new services GXP-21XX coming out they may work for your. We have been a beta tester and the BLF on these seem to work much better then the GXP-20XX units. I do not have the side cars in stock right now so I don't know how they work with it but you can put at least two for about 112 addtional blf keys.

Steve I have 64 channels being monitored with an SPA962 with two SPA932 sidecars. It works perfectly with Asterisk 1.6.2.9; my users are very happy with this. Latest firmware is a must. HTH Cassius Smith

Of course, remember to remove any passwords :) I would like to compare it to mine in case I am doing something stupid! Thanks, Steve
