I see a variety of DECT 6 phones available CHEAP at costco. Is there a way to convert these to SIP? I recall someone talking about a Siemens devices that works with all DECT phones, making them SIP (I think).... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For some unfathomable reason, Siemens USA doesn't offer the Gigaset IP range in the U.S. I'm particularly interested in the Gigaset S685 IP. Since it's DECT 6.0, and there's an English (UK) version, I'm thinking it should work just fine, after dealing with the walwart issue (and maybe caller ID signalling). Anyone imported one from the UK and using it in the US? for how

Hi there, in case anyone is interested, I've just taken ownership of a small home network (3 handsets) of the brand new Siemens DECT PSTN/VOIP phone. It works great with Asterisk. Here's my overview and review so far... http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2008/04/27/siemens-gigaset-685ip-phones/ Cheers Al -- The way out is open! http://www.theopensourcerer.com

Using a Polycom 550 and 650 phones on my Asterisk server for testing. I can't figure out why the volume is so low. How can I adjust the volume control on Asterisk? It's at max on the handset phones. Thanks! Hin

Hello I'm looking at my options to build a compact, silent, headless Asterisk server to handle one or two FXO ports. Out of curiosity, I got one of those babies on eBay for 20E: http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/software/netstation-8364/ Before I spend time on this, can someone tell me if... 1. it's easy to install Linux on those things (am willing to add a CF-to-IDE adapter to use a

This Friday's edition of the weekly VoIP Users Conference call is all about wideband audio (aka HD Voice) and conferencing. The guest for this call is David Frankel, CEO of ZipDX a commercial service that specializes in wideband conferencing. We expect an interesting call touching on many aspects of VoIP going beyond the traditional phone service, conference bridges, technical standards,

While I myself am not a MagicJack user, I'm curious as to whether anyone here has managed to heist their MagicJack account's sip credentials, and use them to terminate calls using asterisk. Apparently it's as simple as sniffing the SIP credentials. If so, said person would enjoy unlimited termination for $20 year while retaining the flexibility of setting their CallerID to a

I'd like to add a device to my Asterisk server to leverage my cellular account. Does anyone on-list have experience with hardware gateways vs using cah_bluetooth and an old cell phone?

Michael Grave just posted a question about surround conferences. http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=564633430#/note.php?note_id=5009726 3908&id=564633430&index=0 I didn't see it posted on the ast-list, what do you think? Does something like this have potential? I'd love to listen in on one of these calls to see how it actually sounds if someone builds a trial

I'd like to survey those on-list who actually use wifi SIP handsets. What type of wifi access point do you use? Are you happy with it? I presently use some older Linksys WAP54G APs. I'd like to replace these but in doing so I'd like to be moving in a VOIP friendly direction. I've yet to find a handset that I'd buy in quantity, but my last round of access points lasted >4

I'm in process of transitioning a number of offices to a hosted virtual pbx from Junction Networks. It's a combination of OpenSER and Asterisk. They have a nice click-to-call extension for Firefox, but I need the equivalent for IE so that it can work with our CRM system. Junction told me that they have a bounty on offer for this if someone's interested in doing the work. Would the

Hello Since I got the IBM Netvista to boot Linux, and am still waiting for the Compact Flash cards that I ordered, I was wondering if someone knew of an Asterisk distribution that can run on that kind of diskless host? I've taken a look at AstLinux and AskoziaPBX, but they both seem to be meant to be installed on a solid-state medium instead of RAM. For instance, the Netvista is unable to

On this weeks VUC call we will collectively be our own guests. That is, we'd like to know what was the big issue that impacted YOU in 2010? All opinions welcome. Here are a few things to get you thinking in advance: - Apple's Antenna-gate - Asterisk 1.8 Launches - Amazon EC2 as a DOS platform - Cisco launched UMI video conference device - More HDVoice capable phones - Skype Outage - VoIP

Doing a little research before Friday's Voip Users Conference call with Dan Behringer. Are any of the newer Polycom wideband codecs implemented in v1.6? Specifically, G.722.1 or G.722.2?

Has anyone here ever had the occasion to setup a system that would dynamically alter it's codec preferences based on trafffic? That is, presuming that the system is on a limited bandwidth connection is would start to prefer a compressed codec as the call volume increased? Perhaps shifting from G.711 to G.729?

Anybody care to muse on Wi-SIP vs. SIP-DECT? My limited research indicates that none of the WiSip phones will ever be able to match the performance of DECT phones. Maybe I'm wrong but a Wi-SIP phone seems like a DIESEL sports car. There is nothing wrong with the technology, but it seems like a shoe-horned fit into the requirements of a wireless endpoint. DECT uses a wireless radio layer

Hi All, So I've been exploring the use of G.722 encoded wideband audio recently. I have three different SIP devices that allow this: Eyebeam, IP650 and a Siemens S865IP. The Siemens and IP650 seems to work fine together. Calls pass between them in what the Polycom notes as "HD" mode and the audio quality is certainly very good. However, things are not so easy with Eyebeam and the

I have quite a number of users complaining that when they are using handsfree to talk over a landline, the other end can't hear them. It's like the person is speaking 5 feet away and can barely hear their voice. However between internal SIP calls, it's fine. What could be the problem? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi All; I discover that most of the voice cutting complain are coming from the Internet bandwidth when we are connecting two remote offices togethor via Asterisk or any other IP PBX. Anyone has an idea on a ADSL router that work as ADSL + Bandwidth division? So we can resolve the problem of providing a guaranteed bandwidth for the voice packets instead of suffering the voice cutting? Regards
