Andrew,   it depends on the routers/firewalls involved. There are plenty of people who have problems if they don't set this up and it is something that Polycom has acknowledged (not providing any type of keepalive or similar) and may fix in future firmware. However - there is also very good docum

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

I have a 480i CT as my primary deskphone now for about a year. Prior to that my favorite was the Polycom IP600. I also have a handful of IP500s. The 480i CT is a GREAT phone for the money. The cordless works well, much better than the early sip wifi handset I tried (Hitachi WIP-5000.) The

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

I am also a VERY happy with the Polycom 501. I will disagree with the comment "They Just Work." when it comes to NAT. Once they are setup properly (e.g. set registration timeout to 60 sec so it registers every 30 seconds and keeps NAT holes open) then they work fine. There is good info on the wiki

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

Strongly disagree, ci$co 7960 is very _old_ phone model and has several disadvantage eg. non-standard in-line power (so you must buy very expensive ci$co switches), also display resolution o this phone is not perfect, backlight missing etc... linksys has much better price/performance ratio that

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

George, I like the cisco 7960 because of the reliability, features and the outstanding speaker phone. I use one every day. We just got a linksys 94X phone in the office last week. It is a stable phone, but I was not impressed with the speaker phone. I would recommend that you go with the Aast

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

I've used both an 480i and a Linksys SPA-942, both worked well with Asterisk. If I were doing a small office deployment I would probably go with the Linksys. The 480i is not quite as impressive sitting on next to the Linksys. Actually if your budget supports it get one of each and try them out. I t

[Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

Seeking recommendations on handsets for use with Asterisk.   I've been looking at the Aastra 480i CT because of its cordless handset and also the new Linksys SPA-942.  Anyone using either one of these with comments on them?   Any other thoughts on good reasonably priced handsets?  This is f
