Fs compatible phones?
Hi All, New to this tech and a bit confused on what to buy/features etc. I'm looking for a basic desk phone, perhaps with a few speed dial and maybe gee-wiz buttons. I found this one with a decent price 3Com NBX 1102 but the ad states Requires R4.X system software or greater. Not sure what this is nor do I need to? If I buy "any" digital phone that has a rj-45 ethernet jack does that automatically mean it's compatible? other models in my price/feature range Cisco CP-7940G Unified IP Phone I was looking at a few grand stream models but the reviews lead me to move on thanks
I have had good success with snom phones and they are solid for the price On Jul 3, 2012 12:36 PM, "Todd Bailey" <toddb@toddbailey.net> wrote:

I second the Snom phone recommendation. I have S pm 320, 360 and 370 models and they all work quite well.

Thanks for the info but well beyond my price range. The 3com is cheap and probably due to being tied to the specific pbx package. The Cisco has good reviews but the display isn't back lit, making use in a dark room problematic. The used GrandStream models are affordable but from what I read suffer from poor audio.

There are ALWAYS gotchas with every manufacturer. The problem is that there is not a comprehensive list of every gotcha for every phone maker because that's just too much work to keep up with. (Things change, firmwares get updated, etc.) If you want a really inexpensive phone that "just works" then you might want to check out the Yealink T26. Alternatively, the Snom 300 is cheap, but it has a really small display (although it's backlit, so at least you have that.) Personally, I would stay away from the Cisco 79xx phones unless you really, really enjoy drama. -MC
Todd, I think the general rule you are looking for is "Any Internet phone that uses the SIP protocol should work." That rules out the 3COM NBX phones. I have used Cisco 504Gs rather extensively. Once we got the NAT settings down, they have been great. They do have backlighting, but are rather costly at about $175 - $200. I am watching replies to your question for an answer from someone who says something "I use ______ and they are cheap, have 4 lines and work great!" Hope that helps a little.

Unfortunately this is not an easy question to reply. You have 4 options of non proprietary IP Phones nowadays (at least). MGCP (Skinny), H.323, IAX2 and SIP. SIP is the most widely used protocol nowadays and pretty much any SIP IP Phone available nowadays on the market will work with FreeSWITCH. If you are looking for more advanced stuff, then you're in trouble and you have to know your stuff to make a informed decision. SIP is a not just a simple standard but rather a miryad of RFCs, each one suggesting a new feature with and it's implementations depends on the manufacturer understanding of each. Yes, interop is a btich, but at least there is no such thing as a proprietary digital phone nowadays, uh? Hope that helps. -- João Mesquita Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) On Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 5:37 PM, Todd Bailey wrote:

Hi All,
New to this tech and a bit confused on what to buy/features etc.
I'm looking for a basic desk phone, perhaps with a few speed dial and maybe gee-wiz buttons. I found this one with a decent price 3Com NBX 1102 but the ad states Requires R4.X system software or greater. Not sure what this is nor do I need to?
If I buy "any" digital phone that has a rj-45 ethernet jack does that automatically mean it's compatible?
other models in my price/feature range
Cisco CP-7940G Unified IP Phone
I was looking at a few grand stream models but the reviews lead me to move on
thanks

Hi, Polycoms are the best (from my experience) but the most expensive ones. Polycom-501 is an old model, needs special cable with power supply (no PoE, unless you buy a special cable); some of my 501 are already broken, so I won't buy it these days. You can also look for AudioCodes-320 or AudioCodes-310. I have a few dosens of the first one, and the users are quite happy. Note that they do not support SLA yet, and BLF will be supported in the next software release (I have a beta version of it). Regards, __Yehavi: 2012/7/4 Todd Bailey <toddb@toddbailey.net>

maybe a softphone on user's PC would be a better option? There are some free options available. there's another topic that you didn't touch yet: automatic provisioning. If you have a few dozens of phone, you don't want to configure every one of them individually from the handset.

I'm going to purchase a Cisco 7960 from ebay for under $50 unless someone can tell me this is a bad idea. I watched several Utube videos where is was working on Asterisk.

I would strongly suggest the old Cisco is a bad choice, I have alot of uptime with those handsets on alternative platforms, I say alternative as really they are just designed to work with Call Manager. If you had to pick from the bunch you suggested I would probably pick the SPA-942, not that it's a great phone but it's the best of that average lot. The reasons I would pick it: -Full web UI that you can configure pretty much everything without having to resort to provisioning straight up -BLF support (useful to have and the Cisco 7960 doesn't, under SIP anyway) -Ability to centrally provision if you so desire in the future -Can register 4 SIP accounts -Can do Broadsoft SLA -802.3af PoE (unlike the 7960 which is pre-standard) Normally I'd be pushing Polycom as well, but the 501 was getting old when the 942 brand new...

Hello, perhaps someone can give me an advice: I have written an chat with openfire (built with strophe) that works fine FS is connected to the openfire as an external component - this works correct. Now I want freeswitch to send an message to the (an) chatroom every time a call is coming in or at other special events How could I realize it ? Thank you very much for any answer Greetings Robert
OK, No Cisco phones even though the feature set on the 7960 is rather impressive. Using a pc for a phone is an option and the 3cx does pretty much every thing I'm looking for. But, I'd like to avoid having a pc/laptop running a phone app 24x7 as it's a bit hard on the power bill. However is there a way to run twinkle or linphone on the FS server? So far I get error messages stating that the ports are already in use. Meanwhile I'll refocus on polycom ip phones off ebay. On Wed, 2012-07-04 at 19:00 +1200, Campbell Steven wrote:

you can also run a SIP client on an Android device, or even on an Apple device :) Also there are SIP-to-Analog adapters: for example, Cisco SPA2102 costs around $60, and it supports 2 analog phones. the cheapest hardware SIP phone that I can find (Central Europe) is FRITZ!Fon MT-D, which is about $80 a piece.

Also there are SIP-to-Analog adapters: for example, Cisco SPA2102 costs around $60, and it supports 2 analog phones.
I'm a fan of the spa-2102. It won't let you do any fancy SIP stuff... no presence, no built in transfer or the like, no big caller ID screen. But they seem to be pretty reliable. It even seems to handle NAT pretty well. Provisioning is pretty easy and fast. Just my experience. It's an ATA not a sip phone, though... -Avi
OK, then, how about a Polycom IP 501? On Tue, 2012-07-03 at 10:13 -0700, Todd Bailey wrote:
Hi All,
New to this tech and a bit confused on what to buy/features etc.
I'm looking for a basic desk phone, perhaps with a few speed dial and maybe gee-wiz buttons. I found this one with a decent price 3Com NBX 1102 but the ad states Requires R4.X system software or greater. Not sure what this is nor do I need to?
If I buy "any" digital phone that has a rj-45 ethernet jack does that automatically mean it's compatible?
other models in my price/feature range
Cisco CP-7940G Unified IP Phone
I was looking at a few grand stream models but the reviews lead me to move on
thanks

For most supported I guess you should stick to Polycom since is what cudatel supports most and what devs work most with. On Wed, Jul 4, 2012 at 12:26 PM, Todd Bailey <toddb@toddbailey.net> wrote:

I don't really know the cudatel product, id imagine they have some stuff that they use to interface with the UC stuff on the Polycoms. However, that doesn't make those phones superior to others as much of that stuff is outside FreeSWITCH. SPA's are nice, stay away from the cisco 79xx. They aren't worth the trouble (as others have stated). Polycoms are nice but expensive, Snoms are good, Yealink is ok, etc. I use Polycom 335's and SPA 921's, I like the polycoms better but it comes at a cost.

OK Polycom it is. My limited research indicates the ip 501 is probably going to be the best you can get in my budget range. Several on Ebay for $50 or less. I have 3cx on my android, it it works nearly as well as the pc based apps, excepts it takes over the entire screen when open. Still any app like this would have to be running 24x7, other wise no phone ring and inbound calls go to vm. On Wed, 2012-07-04 at 14:57 -0400, Brian Foster wrote:

When you introduce wireless there can be some audio issues (depending on what and how much that network is used for). There are ways of getting around that but it can be out of the users control and is outside the scope of this discussion. Softphones can be good, but they again are more trouble that they are worth.

That is indeed my personal experience. Specially if you live in a country where home assembled machines are popular on the corporate environment. What that generates is that the audio interfaces are so crappy that they become a headache. Most ppl I've seen end up buying good headsets that are worth pretty much the same as what a simple IP Phone would cost. -- João Mesquita Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) On Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 4:35 PM, Brian Foster wrote:
