similar to: OT - Which Android handset with Wifi-only ?

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

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

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?

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...

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

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 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.

Hi Everyone, 1- Are the Siren7 and Siren14 the G.722 HD voice codecs? 2- Are these codecs only for Polycom units or are they universal across all other SIP phones that advertise the HD voice codec like Aastra? 3- What is the main difference between the two and is it advisable to run these over the INTERnet (not INTRAnet)? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hello everyone! I haven't seen anything new about the JACK support in Asterisk and I was wondering, if anyone has experience with a current release of Asterisk, JACK and mISDN/googletalk etc. I'm thinking of installing a new version (havingcurrently 1.60-beta9. But the excercise would be pointless, if it doesn't help. Kindly yours Julien -------- Music was my

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

I'm looking for a small formfactor mobo for an install that needs to handle 25 phone sets (no transcoding). I found a new dual atom 1.66GHz mobo - anyone know what kinds of call volume that will handle? MD

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 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?

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

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

Does anyone know if you can use softphones on thin clients? I have a new customer that wants to use Eyebeam (about 10 users) on a thin client platform. Each user has a little box on their desk that has a USB port, mic and headphone jacks and monitor. I am worried about conflicts when running 10 softphones on the same server since they will all try to use por 5060. -- Telecomunicaciones

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
