similar to: Using DECT phones as SIP phones?

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 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

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

Anyone have practical experience using inexpensive GAP-compliant DECT handsets with the Snom M3 basestation? When I asked Snom support, the answer was that 'basic functionality should work', but they didn't elaborate. I'm _guessing_ that means registering/unregistering with the base, making calls, and receiving calls (including presenting caller ID). They also stated that they

I will have a small shop with ~4 phones using an HP server with Asterisk on it, it has two NICS and so I planned on plugging one into the cable modem, and the other into the switch. I was going to let this box perform NAT for the company but I am concerned about QOS for the VOIP portion. Anyone got a similar setup and care to share what they successfully implemented? Thanks! jlc

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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

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

Digium has released version 3.0.3 of its product registration utility. This is the first version of the registration utility that is compiled against the uClibc C library. A benefit of this transition is that the register binary should run more consistently and reliably across a wider range of Linux distributions. The new versions of 'register' and 'asthostid' can be

I'm looking for a wireless desktop VoIP phone. Does any exist?

I need to quote a client for a job and I was just wondering. Out of all the IP Phones out there, which one is the best and why? Thank you all, all opinions will be accepted. William Herrera LAN/WAN Technical Consultant -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
