similar to: Snom phones - any advice

I've been playing with Asterisk for a few weeks and it's working great. I have a question about getting multi-line receptionist phones working. I was thinking about getting one of these expansion ports: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheet0 9186a008008883d.html What are people using for receptionist phones that show all the extensions in

Has anyone got this annoying sidecar to illuminate when users are on the phone? In my function key settings I have: Context: Active Type: Extension Number: <sip:4000@serve.address.com;user=phone> (4000 is the extension I want to see/dial on the key). I can press the key and it will dial the extension, it just won't illuminate when the user is on the phone or on DND Since I have

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

Hi, everyone: I'm in the processing of deciding what IP phones we should use with our Asterisk server, and I wanted to get feedback from the user community on the quality, reliability and ease of operation of Snom phones. What do you have to say about these phones? Are there other phones you'd suggest along with or instead of Snom? Thanks, -Stephen-

Hi everyone, Ive just installed a bunch of Snom 360s, and now having a NIGHTMARE of problems! Ive got a receponist phone with a extra sidecar on it. And when she gets 2+ calls and puts them on hold, when she goes to transfer them out the calls on hold get merged together. Somehow the calls on hold get merged and not to the extension needed!! Any help on this would be great guys, that would be

Hi! I have the following questions/problems with * 1.4. We have several Snom phones (320 and 360). Hints are configured in extensions.conf (core show hints shows the correct values). My Snom phone is registered to some numbers (validated by using sip show subscriptions). I see the lights blinking if someone calls the subscribed number and steady lights if the call is established. So far, so

One of our clients is using a Grandstream GXP2000 with an attendant console. We have used the same phone with past clients successfully however this particular operator processes around 200 calls a hours and the GXP2000 for sure does not like the quick line shuffling and call volume. We get the following problems randomly: 1. menu stops working 2. transfer key stops working 3. Line 1 LED gets

I was always puzzled by posts to the list about people having problems getting hints to work on a Snom, since I always seem to have no problem making it work. That is, until today when I tried to get a sidecar to work. All I could do was get a monitored extension light to light up continuously, regardless of state. Frustrating! Going back to my working dialplans where I got 1 or 2 lights working

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good SIP phone with a busy lamp field? I need my operator to be able to see extension status for about 20 extensions and transfer via HOLD + extension button. I've got a pair of SNOM 360s with the sidecar, but I'm very disappointed with them. The buttons are cheap and rubbery like a Sipura 841, the handset cord is short and cheap, the audio quality

Hi, Watching Snom 870's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e8hPxX0oDU), you can see a new sidecar (phone extension) which seem very interesting. Has someone details on this extension ? Any release date or/and data sheet ? Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Anyone have a Snom they're happy with? How did you manage that? :) I have a system of: Asterisk 1.2.3 2 Wildcard TDM400P Rev I and E/F 1 Snom 360 + sidecar ~15 Sipura/Linsys SPA-841 ~15 Grandstream 101 Everything (currently) is on the same network, not a router to be seen between any two. Also everything, except the snom, is working sweetly. The main problem is ECHO.. awful echo and

I need to buy some new phones for our own offices. I've used only Polycom phones until now, but I'd like to broaden my experience. I'm trying to decide which phones to experiment with. I have these options: - A combination of Polycom, Aastra and Snom - Just Polycom One the one hand, I'd like to keep things uniform, since it greatly simplifies provisioning. On the other hand, I

Hi All I have a snom 200 phone here which works perfectly when using the handset to playback the voicemail messages etc. However when I play back the voice using the speakerphone it sounds choppy. Anyone had this problem before? Regards Mark

Hi all, I got a couple of Snom 190's through this week and after some initial foolishness I have them both setup no problems. But here comes the except. When there is voicemail waiting the softbutton appears but the phone always dials its own extension. No matter what I put into the "mailbox" parameter on the line settings. (Phone registers correctly with * and all standard

Hey, all. Got an SNOM 820 in the other day to kick the tires. As with many phones, provisioning it was a bit of a PITA. The biggest problem, as far as I could tell, was that their firmware just doesn't seem that stable, and is sometimes hard to get to. - I managed to corrupt the firmware twice; fortunately, instead of bricking the phone, there's a fairly easy-to-use "rescue

Hi All, I realise this is off topic, but its likely the best place to ask! I sent an email to snom support a few days ago but have yet to recieve a response.. Perhaps some one has found a solution to this problem already? I've searched the mailing lists and google and found nothing useful. I've also read Snom's mass deployment documentation but thats no real help in this case.

I'm looking for some feedback on the Snom 360 phone. After deploying six of them to an office, I'm not as enthusiastic about them as I was when I was testing one before the deployment. The firmware seems to be consistently buggy, some of its problems are intermittent which makes it frustrating to troubleshoot and the support from Snom is lackluster to say the least. I find myself favoring

Hi all, We are in the process of selection IP Phones to work with our *new* Asterisk PBX. We want to buy 4 for something less than 1000$ but with a nice set of features to work with our mail box, lines, good sound quality, full duplex (and maybe speaker phone). Any suggestions for something with good voice quality and not much troubles to setup with Asterisk? Voici quality is the most

I think one of the differences is: We do pay attention to Asterisk and this mailing list ;-) CS -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] Im Auftrag von Joao Pereira Gesendet: Dienstag, 31.

Hi All, I have a pretty standard Asterisk PBX setup with 60 SIP Peers, mostly Polycom 501's and a receptionist phone, Polycom IP 601 with 3 attached sidecars and Buddy Watch enabled monitoring all other SIP phones. The problem occurs when a group (all SIP peers) Page is called. Not always but sometimes when the Page is executed, the IP 601 will become unreachable from Asterisk. So when the
