Seeking Advice on SIP Phones like Aastra 6739i or Snom 870 that have good interoperability with FreeSWITCH
Hello, I'm working on a project and are interested in using one of the newer SIP Phones with color displays, perhaps touchscreen, etc. to implement PBX-like features like voice mail messages waiting, visual address book, conference call setup, and more. We want to send some information about a call to the SIP Phone either via FS or our own Web Service. These two phones have XML browsers that we may be able to utilize. I'm concerned that these phones may work OK with Asterisk but not sure about FreeSWITCH. There is a great guide for XML Services for Aastra 6739i but only mention Asterisk in the examples: http://www.aastratelecom.com/cps/rde/xbcr/SID-3D8CCB6A-93A834D7/03/XML_Free_... I prefer to use phones that work well with FS but these are too new to show up on interoperability page. Anyone have experience using these, any advise would be appreciated: Aastra 6739i http://www.aastratelecom.com/cps/rde/xbcr/SID-3D8CCB6A-EAA51F83/03/6739i_pds... http://www.voipsupply.com/aastra-6739i SNOM 870 http://www.snom.com/uploads/docu/data_snom870_en.pdf http://www.snom.com/products/ip-phones/snom-870-touchscreen-voip-phone http://www.voipsupply.com/snom-870 Hoping someone has some positive or negative experiences working with these phones. Thanks, teldev
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Darren, While I can't vouch for the 6739i yet, I have been doing all of my FS development with Aastra phones. I had a 57i connected up, and it worked just fine. I could use the wideband codecs, BLFs all worked correctly, I have intercom and distinctive ring working properly too. As far as the XML features are concerned, these are all done outside of Freeswitch. I have built some simple applications that use the XML browser for or own network, and it was pretty straight forward. The phone interacts with our web server, that in turn manipulates the database used for call handling and other parameters. In some cases, the php script on the web server fires events to the switch to initiate calls, or do some other call handling. Right now, our production system is Asterisk, but I'm trying to migrate everything to freeswitch. As long as everything is in a database, it's pretty easy to make some great features. In many ways, I have found freeswitch easier to integrate with. You may want to enable core odbc, it opens up a lot, since you can do a DB query to find out what voicemail messages a user has, or what calls are active, etc. I find it a lot easier to interact with than something like an event socket, and it clusters better. I ended up not using any of the Aastra supplied scripts, since they are very specific to a single office Asterisk setup. You will have to build your own for freeswitch, but they are easy to write. The Aastra php classes are still useful functions, just not their pre-built voicemail and other Asterisk feature tools. Good luck! - -Tim Darren C. wrote:
