RE: [Asterisk-Users] best hardphone for Asterisk?

2006-06-27 Thread Michael Graves



I own one of these. It's a great phone overall. It's the only thing I've tried that was able to display a much beloved Polycom IP600. The only thing to be aware of is that the phone only supports two active calls at a time, and only one G.729a coded call at a time.



Not certain where you're getting your numbers.  The 480 CTi can be found for $279 with one remote handset included. A second remote handset is $99.



I also have a Panasonic KXTG-4000 KSU system, which remains in service just because my wife is familiar with its use. Before the 480 CTi I used the Panasonic KSU and a pair of dual FXS ATAs to connect to my Asterisk server. The Aastra remote handsets are a little more fiddly to use. Occasionally some functions require multiple button pushes whereas the Panasonic handsets have more edicated function buttons. 



Life's too short to suffer through using a cheap phone.

I bought a Grandstream GXP-2000 and played now a little with it. It
seems to work really perfect. The Quality is compareable to my tiptel195
ISDN phone.
The configuration can be done via TFTP and Web.
I ordered it in Germany and the price was 97 EUR inclusive shipping.

The only disadvantage the phone has is the very basic addressbook, but I
think it will be improved with the next firmware versions.


Best regards,
Matthias

We've used a number of the polycom 301 and 501 phones in our office.

We have also deployed a dozen of the Linksys SPA-1001 single-line FXS
adapters using G726, SIP, NAT and STUN. They are extremely reliable and easy
to deploy - $60-$70 US each.

We tested a number of IAX hard phones and didn't find anything that was
reliable and/or suitable for our corporate setting. We really wanted to run
IAX for remote users, but eventually decided that SIP/STUN was easier to
support.

We also tested the IAXy device and found that it's inability to use DNS
resolution, only be configured on Linux, and only run ulaw/alaw made and
that it cost more then the SPA-1001, which can use DNS, G726/G729 and has
web-based configuration for less money the more attractive option.

We also tested the IAX hard phone made by AT-COM only to find that a number
of features such as call transfer do not work.

For home/remote users: setup STUN, and use a SPA-1001. For a corporate
setting I highly recommend the Polycom phones.

 Thanks for the repsonse but you are kidding me right? From what I can see
if I bought this phone and two remotes my outlay would be close to $800 US.
This is NOT a home device unless you have nothing better to do with your
money!

You can buy a lot of single line wireless phones and FXS devices for that
amount!

Still awfully pricey for home use and the styling is not there for a
bedroom or many other areas of a modern home. What we need is a wireless
sip phone modeled like the panasonic or uniden which allow multiple
extension off of one base. The base would connect to the internet. The
other problem is many of these phones require power, so even if you have
backup for your central system the phone still needs to be on it. Power
over ethernet would help.

That's wrong,  phones hook to an FXS.

 But this

run seperate wires.
I am using a HT-488 as my secondary FXS, which works ok,  but still has 
problems with DTMF unless I use inband through  the gateway a wellgate 
3701a in my case.


So with that background what would be nice is a wireless device like 
the

Panasonic cordless with one base and multiple phone capability that
connected via ethernet and serves the phones. Just wishful thinking. I
will stick with what I have until something useful, sylish, and less
expensive arrives.

Yeah, that does sound nice...

I have a panasonic cordless hooked to the HT-488,  this gives me 
mobility with my preferred fxs, and also allows for multiple calls to 
occur which is very slick.  ie I can call out long distance and calls 
can still arrive through the fxo to the other house phones.  This is 
kind of disorienting to housemates who are used to standard phone 
systems ;~)

1. If you have *, you don't necessarily need multiple handsets off of one
base.
2. Cordless phones also require power
3. If the multi-handset cordless phone does suit your needs best, then
get a SIP ATA device like a Sipura or IAXy and you should have your

sip phone modeled like the panasonic or uniden which allow multiple
extension off of one base. The base would connect to the internet. The
other problem is many of these phones require power, so even if you have
backup for your central system the phone still needs to be on it. Power
over ethernet would help.

I believe all three Aastra phones(9112, 9133i, 480i)have exactly the same 
handsets and speakerphone hardware which is THE most 
important thing.  After that it just depends on what 
additional features you want.  They are ALL solid business 
phones IMHO and Aastra's support of the Asterisk community 
and the end user is outstanding!

If cost is important the 9112i would be better. I install all three
Aastra models and the sound quality is good across the range.

I would say a Swissvoice IP 10S, a Snom 300 or - if you want better
quality - a Polycom 300.

The Snom looks good and is solid, the Swissvoice is similar plus it
supports PoE, the Polycom is a bit more expensive but worth the
additional cost.
