Can you really mix & match any base station with any DECT handset? Do handsets have proprietary features which only work with their own basestations? (eg: transfer between handsets)?
Can i buy a good base station and get cheap Costco Dect handsets? ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Carlos Alvarez [car...@televolve.com] Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 4:58 PM To: Asterisk Users List Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Intro to DECT vs IP On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 1:22 PM, Michelle Dupuis <mdup...@ocg.ca<mailto:mdup...@ocg.ca>> wrote: We've deoplyed a number of pure VoIP wireless (wifi & proprietary) phones, but not dect. Is there a simple overview of integrating DECT phones with Asterisk somewhere? I assume the DECT basestation has a multi-account SIP VoIP interface, and the handsets are just plain old dect? The SIP side of every DECT phone I've worked with looks/works just like any regular SIP phone. Asterisk just sees a SIP endpoint. If it's multi-handset/multi-account it's much like configuring a multi-line SIP phone. Can you push configuration info to individual phones? (Are they individually addressible / configurable through SIP) etc? This is all dependent on the phone/base, but every one I've used does. Again, it works just like any other SIP handset that supports a central config server. Honestly while there's a little bit of learning to do, deploying a SIP-DECT solution isn't really different from other phones and you should just jump into it. We are very pleased with Spectralink for larger/industrial applications and Panasonic for small office applications. Devote four hours to learning and you'll be comfortable with the configs for either. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003
