I have an asterisk box which has Polycom Soundpoints IP335 and IP650s registering to it both locally and remote. I want to be able to incorporate a cordless phone at the remote location; not a wireless phone. I want it to also be able to register to the same asterisk box so it can take calls and transfers. Any idea? Thanks, --E -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20120123/4908fb19/attachment.htm>

To be honest I am not sure. I was under the impression that there was a cordless SIP phone that communicated back to the base which was hardwired into the network. Anything like that? --E From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Carlos Alvarez Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 10:20 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Cordless SIP phone On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 7:35 AM, eherr <email.eherr9633 at gmail.com> wrote: I have an asterisk box which has Polycom Soundpoints IP335 and IP650s registering to it both locally and remote.

You may also need an adaptor with an RJ11 plug and whatever phone socket your local telephone company use; and in some countries this will need to be a "master" type (with bell capacitor), or else the phone may not ring.

I have one of these already installed. I have a plain household cordless phone plugged into an SPA which then SIPs back to the server. Where I want to put the new on is outside the range. I thought SIP cordless phones would be better on the range. Either way, does the two mentioned: Gigaset Panasonic KX-TGP500 Allow to program an extension from the asterisk so it is integrated into the phone system as if it were just another Polycom extension?

You can have up to 3 handsets attached to one base station and you can configure it so that each handset can be a separate extension or that they call all be the same one. -- Ishfaq Malik Software Developer PackNet Ltd Office: 0161 660 3062

You can buy one that is a base phone with an internal DECT base station plus wireless handsets, or a base station alone. Inexpensive and reliable, users seem to really like them. Perhaps you meant one that is not wi-fi? I would agree with that, I have a pile of totally useless wi-fi phones, they are all garbage. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Each can work independently, even with the base phone being the DECT base. I believe that system supports six wireless phones per base, but it might be more, check the spec sheet. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They work fine, but they don't feel like a business phone. The base is SIP to DECT so the wireless quality is good. Range is fine for our small house. Ira

Extending your range beyond that requires a proper DECT network and brings you into a whole new cost level. But that can go up to 256x12 handsets and 256x8 (IIRC) simultaneous calls... -- Andreas Sikkema
