Hello, I would like to buy a SIP IP phone, but I don't know wich one to choose... Can you tell me wich IP Phone is known to work with Asterisk please. I've seen the Cisco 7940, but I don't know if it works, and how expensive is it ? I'm french, so if you know some french resellers, tell me. Thanks a lot, ---------------------- Fabrice Tereszkiewicz Sawadka.org

Just to toss in my very limited experiences with the Grandstream phone-- I haven't tested it enough to really know nor is my Asterisk config set up enough to fully try all the features. Mostly, it just works. It was very easy to configure and get running. I've been toting it around to clients as a show and tell exhibit and it has helped get people excited about the possibilities.

OK I did some researches and tests with it, and finally: I registered my messenger to the asterisk and called if from the snom. The audio from the snom to the messenger was PERFECT. By the time of the call This message was running on the asterisk console: WARNING[16400]: File dsp.c, Line 1107 (ast_dsp_process): Unable to detect process 2 frames My conclusion is that the snom100 utilizes MSGSM

Look like SNOM have rolled back the firmware version of the 200's from 1.16w to 1.16q.. Anyone know why? -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze

Hi, I have more or less decided to do with the SNOM phones for the next stage of testing with Asterisk becasue they seem to be the best value for money and have support for the GSM codec and easy upgrades.. But now I have to decied wheather to get the 100 or 200 and if its the 200 then I need to have some justification for the extra cost.. Can someone who knows these 2 phones tell me what the

Hi, I have just got my SNOM 200 to start doing some real testing with *.. I am trying to use the GSM codec but the quality is really bad, Is that normal? does anyone actually use GSM?? Also are there any 'gotcha's' that I need to look out for so I don't spend hours trying to get somthing working that really doesn't work anyway.. Thanks.. later.. --

Hi, Has anyone worked out a way to use Asterisk in a Hot Desk environment?? I have not been able to think of a way for the user to have control over which IP phone will ring when that users extension is dialed without the user needing to reconfigure the phone.. Something like this would be cool.. User dials *8555 (or similar) and is prompted to enter their extension and then password, after

Hi, Quick question to all the electronics gurus out there.. I unpacked my second GS phone yesterday (had it for about a month!) and set it up.. This morning the power supply is dead.. I have looked for a new one online (In the UK using Maplin let me know if you know a better place.) becasue it would probbaly take too long to get one sent from China or the US and I need to get that station

Hi, I know this is slightly off topic but I figured the knowlege here is probably the best on the subject.. I want to setup remote offices with 4 to 6 SIP phones (SNOM 200) using ADSL and the internet to connect to the Asterisk box.. These phone will be behind an ADSL router using NAT... I don't want to setup another Asterisk system in each office so IAX is not an option.. I could use

Hi,. How can I make that Voicemail app to play only my own recorded message without the default one? Thanks, Dan

Hi I am setting up an Asterisk System in an office environment, Incoming and Outgoing calls are working ok, but i am having a few strange problems regarding call waiting. With the SNOM 200 (firmware 2.02t) phones, if you are on a call and a 2nd call comes in, the call waiting beep is played and the light flashes, but if you hang up the 1st call, instead of the phone ringing, it connects the

I have found that the NTP server is not contacted when the phone (Budgetone 100) comes back from a power down. I must reboot the phone without powering down to get the phone to contact the NTP server for the time. It doesn't matter whether I reboot from the phone's web site or using the menu reset function: either works. I have only tested this with a private NTP server. This may

well .. good news :) i've just put in txgain=1.0 rxgain=1.0 in my zapata.conf and upgraded the Grandstream Budgettones i'm using to version 81 of the software and all seems fine .. there is still an echo but after the first couple of seconds of call it vanishes, as the echocancelling kicks in .. so far my client is happy :) now .. i have one slight problem left .. although most of my

I have seen two references today (don't recall whether here or on one of the other VoIP lists I read) to people having the .78 version of the firmware installed on their phones. I'm keen on getting hold of it, but their support page still offers only the older version. Is it out there somewhere, and how might one have at it? Thx. B.

With the lack of info on Yoda Communications in Taiwan and their hardware, I thought I'd post my experience. I got my hands on a few H.323 VG-400's and VG-100TA's. http://www.yoda.com.tw/model.php?type=VoIP_Solution&pname=VG400 2 of the VG-400's were 2FXO/2FXS models. A couple were deployed to SE Asia, where we planned to offer our services. Originally, I ran a GnuGK server

I have a problem with using voicemail on the Budgetone phones. When entering the mailbox and password, sometimes some keys will register multiple times (as shown on console when it says no such user in config file) and sometimes some keys won't even register at all. It seems totally random. Has anyone seen this problem? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Brian

Hi All I have 3 GrandStream BudgeTone-100's which connect to an * box with a HFC-S based ISDN card using ISDN4Linux. I have setup the BudgeTone-100's to use Early Dial which for calling between the three phones works well, but for the external calls using the following extension exten => _9.,1,Dial(Modem/g1:${EXTEN:1}) Only the first digit is dial on the ISDN Line. Does anyone know of

Does anyone know what the Grandstream Budgetone is going for $$$ in the US? I didn't immediately see pricing on the phones page. AJ

I am setting up a small Asterisk system for use at home. I have one Budgetone 101, one Cisco 7960 and two Xten lite softphones. So far everything is working expect for an issue with the Budgetone. When a call is placed between the Budgetone and any other phone, the call is setup and sounds good. If I hang-up on the Budgetone, everything is ok. If I hang up on the other phone, the Budgetone
