You'll find that even when it says it supports this codec and that version of sip, there's a certain amount of testing needed to confirm t actually DOES interact with the proxy the way it is supposed to.
Snom, cisco, polycom all certain quirks. Also, there's a certain amount of problems if the phones all have to be manually configured. Having been through 4 or 5 phone manufacturers already, I can happily say that sometimes mainstream (polycom, etc.) that have direct config support in sipx is pretty helpful. When you have a large number of admins supporting the same model, its also easy to get help. That being said, if the phone configures and works well, its entirely helpful to let others know and make an effort to get a plugin written too. Let us know how it goes. ============================ Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: tgrazi...@myitdepartment.net LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ ----- Original Message ----- From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org <sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org> To: Picher, Michael <mpic...@cmctechgroup.com> Cc: sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org <sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org> Sent: Sat Nov 21 18:07:37 2009 Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Question re: handsets I agree... They don't look half bad. I still see some paper inserts, but they are not garish like the Aastra ones. I'm told they are very inexpensive and reasonably well built. The fact that even the basic ones support G.722 is important. That's a killer feature to demonstrate to clients. Usually when they hear it, the reaction is "WOW!" I am not 100% sure the Wiki is up to date with which handsets are supported or not -- can anyone confirm? There are some handsets there that have incomplete info on the Wiki. For example, I have an Aastra 57i right here that I want to test (when I find its power supply, I don't have a PoE switch at home) but there's no HOWTO on the Wiki. That tells me the phone is completely, fully supported? I dunno. -- Robert Picher, Michael wrote: > I've not heard of anybody here trying them. > > They look like a cross between the Cisco (silver area) and the Polycom > (the big round area with 5 buttons in it). > > Mike > _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
