Changing codec doesn't appear to matter. I gather that the cause is that 
the GXP-2000 sends empty udp packets as keep-alives. (which is all well 
and good, but even with a handful of handsets with light call volume the 
logs fill up with notices, at the moment there is only 1 call going 
through the server and this is generating 2 notices/second.

Is there any way to make asterisk ignore the empty packets from certain 
peers?

Hi Thomas,

I have tried to work through these (and other) issues with Grandstream 
but they seem to have a short attention span. We now buy Aastra phones.

[ reformatted by hand; top posting is eee-vil ]

As I noted earlier, many commercial PBXen/Key systems permit you to
datafill the switch with the name of the primary employee or location
that each port services, and that name is displayed to callers when
they call that destination.

That's not the way it works. Only the called phone (i.e., the ringing
one) is getting caller-id information (number/name), the calling one
(gxp in your example) does not.

I'm not sure it matters.

Many commercial key systems display the destination extension user's
name on the originating set on internal/intercom calls, and some
display the destination user's name on phonebook calls as well.

I'm going to assume, for the moment, that this is the functionality it
was asserted Asterisk does not currently possess, now that we've more
clearly defined what's actually being discussed, and if either side

It does matter if they are using Asterisk. I think we'd all like to know how they are doing it.

When I was using the chan_sccp driver, I was able to display that information on the screen. I'm not sure the SIP protocol in Asterisk supports this (and don't know if the SIP protocol itself supports this).

Right, what I meant was: it does not work right out of the box with a
simple Asterisk configuration where you don't have special handling of
this feature in your dialplan. (and your phones also supports it)

But the person who I was quoting seemed to be implying that at work

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000

Your problem could be DTMF-related. Make sure that both your sip peer  
has dtmfmode=rfc2833 and the GXP-2000 is configured for RFC2833 as well.

OK, thanks, but problem is more general: often phone doesn't send even a
packet to the Asterisk server!
I tried with three phones with three different firmware versions: sometime
phone hangs during provisioning, othertimes doesn't syncronize with NTP
server, often it goes on with boot but doesn't register, sometime it
registers only after disconnecting/connecting network cable, sometime it
works smoothly. A nightmare.

Can be a problem with my LAN cabling (I have no POE)?
Is there a way to completely disable provisioning?
Can be an issue with NTP (my server is an old HP-UX server)?


Thanks again

Yes this is quite an issue.  The POE converter is 'optional'.  I bought
a 480i a while back and after waiting a few days had to order the POE
cos the dealer hadn't told me it was actually required!

Because Aastra bundles the 480i with the power injector (not sure how they are distinguished) it is not really an issue other than making sure you ask for ones with the power injector when ordering. In the past some of the 480i's I have received included the power supply. I have PoE everywhere so I have never requested that. not sure what to make of it actually other than they do bundle it sometimes (most likely on purpose).


I do know that the part number for the injector itself is D0023-0031-00-00

Worth saying that the Aastra 9133i with the 1.3.1 firmware is a pretty
good phone.  I used to run GXP-2000's, still have 10 new in a box and
another 20 in demo/test circulation, but I also run a few dozen 9133i,
480i and 9112i phones and I think Aastra are getting their now.  Biggest
problem I had with GXP are the usual power flakyness, which you can't
really do much about but apart from that no real problems.  Now the GXP
firmware is getting there might offer them as a cheaper phone to the
9133i.

The GXP2000 is good value for the money. It is not a great phone but for
your $80 you get a lot more than one would expect. 7 programmable
buttons with BLF, Backlight, dual 100bt. Stuff you dont find on some
phones over twice the price...

All phones have their warts, even cisco. For $80 I can live with the
GXP2000's warts, grandstream do seem to be actively improving the
firmware and fixing what they can. Asterisk features (mwi, blf) just
work out of the box without the gyrations one has to go through for
other vendors phones.

I have some $200+ phones which have some serious warts and the vendors
do not seem terribly interested in fixing them. Big money does not
always mean good value.

I think if grandstream spent a bit more on quality construction and parts 
they could have an awesome phone. Similar to the difference between the 
sipura 841 and the linksys 941.


I would still like to know what they were smoking when they put two

every reseller that is selling the 942 lists two 10mb ports.

also, rather disturbingly the linksys press release[1] implies the 942 is

Page 3 of the same data sheet reads:

Optional 5 volt DC Universal (100-240 Volt) Switching Power Adaptor

And, Package Contents section on the same page reads:

Important Note: Power Supply is Ordered Separately
-- Models: PA100-NA, PA100-EU, PA100-UK, PA100-AU

This explains the PoE issue, I think.

For 100bit issue, I tend to believe in the data sheet, but I would also like 
to hear a first-hand verification. (But I guess we have to wait, because 
voipsupply accepts pre-sale orders for now, they don't ship them yet.)

Well, the 480i CT comes with a wall wart if you don't want to use POE 
and their web site shows the optional PS available. I assume the 480i 
is similar but I don't have one so I can't say.

 _only_. A lot of people are very suprised when I explain to 
 them that the 480i is poe only.

well i think most people know with cisco the power cube is sold

the 480i which is odd in this respect -- all the other aastras use

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000

2006-02-19 Thread Richard Amerman
One thing to keep in mind with some of these phones is that physical quality can not be changed easily, why software is a different matter, though no guarantees.

I have been working with Aastra 480i's for about 14 months and at first they were fairly limited and had many issues. This all turned out to be due to the software being far before its time. As I understand it, and I may be wrong, it was due to existing customer demand that it was released arguably before its time. I came close to switching to another phone, but after the 
1.3.0 firmware release, things took a serious turn.

As of last week the latest firmware has been released and things are completely different. Everyone seems to agree that the 480i build and voice quality is excellent. I can not say how it compares to the Polycom or other quality phones, but with the new XML features and many other enhancements and fixes, this phone is a serious option. I now have over 40 in operation and everything is great. Since the two cheaper Aastra IP phones use near the same software, I assume they are on par. I do not know about their physical quality though.


Please see the following for more information. Join the list also if you are even more interested.

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Aastra+480i

That said, from everything I have heard, the Polycom is one to try. I may be very happy with the 480i and likely to continue using and recommending them in the future, but I also intend on trying a Polycom in the near future and likely using them as well.

 The GXP2000 firmware is not bad for features and ease of use 
 but still buggy.  The hardware is junk to be quite honest and 
 I don't think firmware will ever fix that.  The Aastra 9133i 
 hardware is 10x better.

I have a few of both here at the moment, and I'm not sure I'd agree with
that. The 9133i's handset feels much more sturdy, but the buttons on the
9133i wobble (for want of a better word) when pressed and it's difficult to
determine length of travel for them.

The display on the GXP2000 is significantly clearer (not just larger, the
resolution seems to be better) and the buttons have firm travel limits when
pressed. If only they could provide a decent weight of handset with proper
sidetone, it'd be much improved.

Chris

 I know it's still beta, but don't use the latest firmware in 
 production unless you can live with an empty display after 
 transferring a call.
 Only a reboot of the phone will give you text on the display again.
 I tested and confirmed this with 5 phones.

What firmware are you running? I've just tried both attended and unattended
transfer on the GXP2000 on my desk (1.0.2.8 firmware) and the display is
definitely as it should be after the transfer.

I tried with one phone on both * svn head, *1.2 and *1.0.9
The exact fw version for the phone is something I cannot get
for you now as the phone is back to the shelve.
The fw files on my http server are dated Jan 19. Maybe
that's a marker.
It was the latest I could get back then. It has PPPoE and
BLF included. (I updated the phone to get BLF working)

I'll have a look later this week if there's a new fw for the
phone and start testing again.

The GXP2000 is good value for the money. It is not a great phone but for 
your $80 you get a lot more than one would expect. 7 programmable buttons
with BLF, Backlight, dual 100bt. Stuff you dont find on some phones over 
twice the price...


All phones have their warts, even cisco. For $80 I can live with the 
GXP2000's warts, grandstream do seem to be actively improving the firmware 
and fixing what they can. Asterisk features (mwi, blf) just work out of 
the box without the gyrations one has to go through for other vendors phones.


I have some $200+ phones which have some serious warts and the vendors do 
not seem terribly interested in fixing them. Big money does not always 
mean good value.

I have both as well,

I mostly agree with you about the display.  The buttons are ok but not great
on either.  

At the end of the day a phone is for talking and listening and the 9133i is
far superior in that regard.  Both the handset and speaker phone on the
9133i are the same as the 480i and are far superior to the GXP2000 IMHO.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000

2006-02-19 Thread Michael J. Liberatore
So lets pool our knowledge so next time we all get a perfect phone :)
Phones I have used:

GXP2000: We all know about this one, lots of features but you get what
you pay for  Echo, hums, old hardware revisions have lots of
problems (screen, etc).  The upside includes lots of features, BLF, 4
account support, 100Mb switch, firmware is worked on often.

Linksys 941: Overall a great phone, stable solid firmware, heavy built,
awesome light up dual color buttons, good sound quality. Cons: 1 switch
port (new model has 2), you have to pay extra for 4 account support, no
firmware upgrades although it could be because it works very well as is,
no blf/speed dial buttons at all which makes it better for a call
center.

Snom 360: My favorite phone very well built, new firmwares all the time,
xml support, overall a stable phone but still has its problems.  Upside
is nice screen, awesome blue light up, 12 BLF buttons, all the buttons
on the phone can be reprogrammed, 2 port switch, heavy built handset,
excellent sound quality, expandable.  Cons: firmware isnt perfect by a
long shot, can completely freeze, doesn't like asterisk's sip rules,
some phones have a hum problem, price.

UT Starcom F1000 Wifi: Nice little phone, customers love the way it
looks, sound quality sucks, firmware sucks, range sucks, battery life is
great, it needs work but with better firmware it could be a descent sub
$150 wifi phone.  

Astra 480i CT: I bought this phone cause I liked the idea of an in
expensive cordless that came with it, when I got it the 480i screen was
shot, it was all dark and could only be used for minutes, so I didn't
get much use out if it, the cordless didn't have its own sip
registrations, the lines were linked to the base, and since I wanted the
cordless to be called directly I decided to get rid of it.

So that's my input, any other input would be helpful for all.  

Mike

If you can live without a speakerphone, the Polycom 301 is an excellent
phone and is only $30US more expensive than the GXP-2000s. I tend
to trust the Polycom brand, and they haven't really steered me wrong
yet in the IP phone hardware. I'm interested though in any
reports of success with the Aastra phones, as I'm certainly looking for
something with better quality than Grandstream with lower-end
pricing. Anybody have any reports on using the Uniden phones?

 - Can be a profitable business the direct buying of 50 phones (to save other

if you've never tried a phone, it's always a risk.
I'd advise against buying 'any' 15 phones without first trying at least 1..

However, the GXP-2000 is an okay phone. The Thomson ST2030 however is
firmer (almost same price) but doesn't have the BLF and MWI. It
depends on what features you need.

I'm still having numerous echo issues, even on SIP calls, with the
GXP-2000s. Unfortunately, they cause echo on the remote end on SIP
calls, which does not occur on other phone models. The speaker phone
is unusable due to echo problems. Maybe the 1.0.2 firmware branches
will help, but I'm scared of upgrading with no path back to a stable
firmware. They're really nice hardware, but unfortunately the software
for them just stinks (no gain control on the handsets or speakerphones,
lots of missing options I'd like). Unfortunately, I have yet to find a
sub $100US phone that I like. I definitely would not order 15 until
I'd ordered a couple and tested.

I know it's still beta, but don't use the latest firmware in
production unless you can live with an empty display after
transferring a call.
Only a reboot of the phone will give you text on the display
again.
I tested and confirmed this with 5 phones.
No problems when using the latest stable firmware.

We don't use the speakerphone so I don't know about that,
but we have no echo issues using the handset.

The Aastra phones are really close in price, really should
get one so I can test those.

We have three of them for evaluation (fw 1.0.1.12).  They are OK.  Some 
issues we have:


- Echo sort of comes and goes, but for the most part it isn't too bad. 
Can get rather distracting to others on conf calls, though.  Seems to 
happen when using the handset, but not w/ speakerphone?

- Speaker phone is actually quite good, but quiet
- headset jack takes over the speaker phone, not the handset (which is 
rather odd)

- handset cable is not compatible with most headset kits, it seems

Price is good, and there are lots of features.  Overall design is not 
bad.  Display is OK.  Web interface is good.  HTTP firmware update 
didn't work for me, but TFTP did.


I haven't yet tried the 1.0.2.x firmware.  Sounds promising.  Hopefully 
it will be 'stable' soon.

The GXP2000 firmware is not bad for features and ease of use but still
buggy.  The hardware is junk to be quite honest and I don't think firmware
will ever fix that.  The Aastra 9133i hardware is 10x better.  The 9133i
firmware is still a work in progress though but they are coming out with new
firmware every few months and each iteration improves the operation.  Long
term I believe any of the Aastra phones are a MUCH better.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000 Auto Answer

2005-12-17 Thread Julian J. M.

From that article:
There is an 'allpage.agi' now available at
http://aussievoip.com.au/allpage.agi. Documentation is available in
the file. This should work with Snom and Grandstream GXP2000 phones
(and possibly budgettones if they roll the changes across) with
firmware greater than 1.0.13 (not publically available at time of
writing, due out in October 2005)

I've used that with my GXP-2000, and seems to work ok. I had, however,
to adapt it to my needs.

 1.  Upgraded to 1.0.1.13, which supposedly supports this feature
 2.  Set Allow Auto-Answer by Call-Info to YES in the GXP2000 config
 3.  Used, SIPAddHeader(Call Info: answer-after=0) in my dialplan prior to

 Still the phone just rings, and doesn't auto-answer.

Which end experience the echo? The phone with the loud volume, or the

It does appear to be the remote party that is hearing the echo as a result of the loud volume on the other end. They actually had a few people calling in from the outside report that they could hear their echo. When they turned down the volume on the Grandstream, the echo seemed to go away. So I will bring up the possibility of using the AEC when using the handset.

 Erick, we're also using 1.0.1.12, having some echo problems,

 have to make sure your volume isn't too high) Also the 
 GXP-2000 has the annoying feature that calls get disturbed 
 when you touch the wire (going from handset to phone). 

We currently have 3 sites with about 15 GXP-2000s at 2, and 3 at the third.
The 2 larger sites are running 1.0.1.9, the third site is running 1.0.1.12.
On straight SIP-SIP calls or outbound calls via an IAX-PSTN gateway, there
is no discernable echo at all. Ever.

One of the larger sites is connected with 2 BRIs for incoming calls via
zaphfc. Generally, there is echo for the first 2 or 3 seconds of a call,
then it dies out completely. There are exceptions - I've had reports of echo
lasting for the duration of a phone call, but this has usually been down to
a callcentre at the other end of the line (probably using an autodialler)
where the first few seconds of an inbound call is silence. I guess this must
be upsetting the echo training in Zaptel.

The other larger site is connected using a TDM400 with 3 POTS lines. There
is nearly always echo on incoming calls on these lines for about 30 seconds,
after which they appear to be fine.

In conclusion - I'm not sure if the GXP2000s are the problem in your
scenario.

Hi Eric,

I only have two of these but have not come across an echo problem with 
them on SIP at all. Nothing unusual needs to be done to the config at 
all. So although I don't know how to help you, you can be assured that 
the problem is solvable and not down to the actual phones themselves, if 
you see what I mean?

 We have all those problems and then some... after a while,
the phone starts degrading: The ringing becomes lower and lower and
there is a lot of stuttering in the conversation. Also, if I stop/start
asterisk, half of the phones reconnect while the rest don't. I was
using the same firmare as you but had to roll back to 1.0.1.9 because
of the degrading issue. We have some polycoms connecting to the same
server and they have no problems whatsoever so we know it's a problem
with the GXP.

 These phones are definately NOT ready for prime time. I would
stay away from them. Play it safe and use Polycoms or, if too
expensive, maybe Sipuras 841. These GXP-2000s are pure evil.

I have upgraded the GXP-2000 to the newest firmware 1.0.1.12 and the
phone is much more usable However, I still have two slight sound
quality issues:

1) There is static on the line at all times. It is not that
noticable to me, but when I make calls out the PSTN the person on the
other end hears it. If I use a Cisco ATA with an analog phone and call
the same person again the static goes away, so I believe it is phone
related.

2) When I call a non-voip phone when I stop talking (ie at the end of
every sentence) the person on the other end hears some feedback/buzzing
for a moment.

Is anyone else using this phone and experiencing these issues?
Has anyone else tried the GXP-2000 and decided to buy a different VoIP
that they were impressed with (without spending too much money)?

We have one GXP-2000 in house, and are trying to decided what phone to
standardize on before we start rolling out them out to the users.

Thanks,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I have upgraded the GXP-2000 to the newest firmware 1.0.1.12 and the
phone is much more usable However, I still have two slight sound
quality issues:

1) There is static on the line at all times. It is not that
noticable to me, but when I make calls out the PSTN the person on the
other end hears it. If I use a Cisco ATA with an analog phone and call
the same person again the static goes away, so I believe it is phone
related.

2) When I call a non-voip phone when I stop talking (ie at the end of
every sentence) the person on the other end hears some feedback/buzzing
for a moment.

Is anyone else using this phone and experiencing these issues?
Has anyone else tried the GXP-2000 and decided to buy a different VoIP
that they were impressed with (without spending too much money)?

We have one GXP-2000 in house, and are trying to decided what phone to
standardize on before we start rolling out them out to the users.

Thanks,
Aaron

 problems whatsoever so we know it's a problem with the GXP.
 
 These phones are definately NOT ready for prime time. I would stay away from 
 them. Play it safe and use Polycoms or, if too expensive, maybe Sipuras 841. 
 These GXP-2000s are pure evil.

In fairness the 1.0.1.9 firmware works very well for us. The speakerphone 
has an unusable microphone, but that is not an issue for us. Other than 
that we have not experienced any problems.

Check out the Aastra 9133i. Fantastic phone 
for about $179. I have two of them and will be adding more. More 
bang for the buck than the Polycoms but slightly less feature set. These 
phones are more of an office standard like the Nortel or Avaya 
phones.

2005-05-23 Thread The VoIP Connection
It's very hard to find a headset that will fit this phone. We managed to
find an adapter that will allow you to use almost any mini-plug headset.
We will be including this adapter with every GXP-2000 purchased from
www.thevoipconnection.com.  If you need one, contact me off list and we will
send you one.

Most features work as advertised. In speaker phone mode the microphone

for
a tcpdump log, after 6 hours we received a confirmation that the 
support
personnel had replicated the problem and within 24 hours we received a 
new
firmware correcting the fix!

I cannot emphasize enough the impression such quick and professional
support makes. Especially since the problem had a workaround (we found
that pressing hold twice cleared up the problem). No nonsense questions
about whether we tried rebooting the phone.
The new firmware was a beta of their next firmware, I guess. Some new
features were added like:
 * multiple accounts now with user selectable names
 * auto-answer selectable per account
 * better display texts
 * even more configurable options
We also received a configuration template that allowed complete control
over the phone from the server.
With the next firmware the phone does feel ready for deployment in a
corporation.

Peter.. I just bought a gxp 2000 and I wanted to know, how are you
configuring them using templates?

Some thing really dissapointed me and I sent some emails to GS about it. For
example, ilbc is not supported eventhough it says so on the brochure...
Seems they were eager to release the phone before finishing stuff... Like
the conf button which does nothing.

Also, you have such a good screen and callerid displays only half the info
cause the other part is taken by Talking to or Calling... callerid could
be 2 lines. Also, caller name is shown and not caller id num.

You cant do 3 way conf calls.

And the mad echo when using the spakerphone.

They said they would fix all this on the next FW release... Don’t know when
is it going to be... I currently have 1.0.1.8

 Peter.. I just bought a gxp 2000 and I wanted to know, how are you

There is a template-binary config file compiler available from the

it via http or tftp. 

 Some thing really dissapointed me and I sent some emails to GS about it. For
 example, ilbc is not supported eventhough it says so on the brochure...

Yes, not all the features are enabled yet. However, at the moment the 
phone is a lot more capable than almost any sip phone costing twice as 
much. It works well enough for what we need it for, and if they add the 
promised features later on that is just iceing on the cake. Grandstream 
should have been more up front with what whas implemented and what was 
only planned.

 Also, you have such a good screen and callerid displays only half the info
 cause the other part is taken by Talking to or Calling... callerid could
 be 2 lines. Also, caller name is shown and not caller id num.

Most of these issues were corrected in the testing firmware we received. 
Hopefully it will be released soon.

 You cant do 3 way conf calls.

Not really a problem for us, we use meetme conferences exclusivly anyway. 

 And the mad echo when using the spakerphone.

Yes, as a speaker phone it is lacking. Still, not the most important 
feature by far. Speaker phones belong in a meeting room, not in an office, 
unless you have closed doors.

Compared to Cisco phones the GXP-2000 wins hands down, if you factor in
price at all. Given the large difference in price I'd say it beats most 
other phones as well.

Hey,

I just asked the same question a few hours ago :-)

I too am interested in the phone.. It looks nice.. I did send their tech
support staff a question about the phone, and received an answer already..

I looked through the manual on-line, and wasn't able to determine if it did
CallerID with name.. Their support staff says it does indeed support
CallerID with name, unlike my Budgettone's which are just numeric CallerID..

2005-03-14 Thread Rod Bacon
I ordered one of these from Grandstream to evaluate, along with a Handy-Tone 
488. They both arrived today (I'm in Australia).

After having played with the GXP-2000 for about 2 hours, my advice is to 
wait. Whilst it looks and feels a lot nicer than a Budgetone (approaching 
the build quality of a Sipura/Snom), it is extremely buggy.

Codecs other than Ulaw/Alaw hang the phone (so far I've only tested G726-32 
and iLbc), DHCP wouldn't work at all, etc. etc.

If anyone has any specific questions, I'd be happy to perform some tests and 
give feedback.
