Do I disable the local call features in the web admin of the phone? If so, how?

You have to disable the local call features to let Asterisk deal with them. Otherwise the phone will try to accommodate all those features. It's important to update to the latest firmware to get the best use. Using .13 works well with all features. If you're on speakerphone you should not crank it up to the loudest volume. Overall the phone beats any other phone in the same price category, and you're not bound to stupid licensing/software limitations as the others. It should also be said that Grandstream is working closely with Asterisk. That can NOT be said about other, and more expensive, phones. Last time I spoke to Polycom they didn't want to help me when I told them I was connecting the phone to Asterisk. They tend to support only (expensive) commercial PBX's.

I like them. IMO, you can't beat them for the money. My first SIP phone order was a bunch of GXP-2000's, some Polycom 601's, and 2 Snom 320's (now discontinued I think). The Polycom has the best feel/quality, but it was hundreds more. The speakerphone on the GXP-2000 leaves a bit to be desired. And they also need to work on getting the volume louder (from both the speakerphone and the handset) without it getting distorted or causing echo or blowing up. I've had trouble getting call forwarding to work reliably. I can enable call forwarding, but when I try to disable it, it doesn't work right; when I dial *73 or whatever it is to disable the call forwarding, after I press the "3", I get a dial tone again (when I should get a response from the Asterisk server telling me that call forwarding has been disabled). Maybe there's a fix for this....I dunno. Another problem I have sometimes is the phone locking up on reboot. This kinda puts the hurt on the whole 'remote management' concept because you're forced to go power cycle the phone when it locks up. Since I've had all of mine setup, I've had to do this a large handful of times; not enough to justify throwing them out the window, but enough to be very annoying. Ultra simple to configure. Looking at the PDF manual didn't even cross my mind when I started configuring them. The default password is "admin"; that's about the only non-obvious piece of information when doing the basic configuration. The built in switch doesn't require any configuration to use; just connect a computer to the 'PC' port on the back of the phone. FYI--I'm using 1.0.1.13 for the firmware version (beta, but works well--at least better than other versions) All in all, I'd recommend them if you're on a budget. At <$100, they're a good deal IMHO. Lots of features and it seems like they're actively working on improving the firmware and features....at least some. -ross -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 5:02 PM To: Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] GXP-2000 any good with * ?

The echo issues, is it speakerphone only? -Dan _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
