Re: [Asterisk-Users] FreePBX AAH

2006-03-29 Thread Richard Amerman
This question confuses me.

My understanding is that FreePBX is just AMP renamed and AAH comes with AMP setup as the primary way to manage it.

So, is the question realy that the user wants a newer version of AMP (read FreePBX) then the one that comes either with the newest version of AAH or the version that they have installed?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000

2006-02-21 Thread Richard Amerman
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

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.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk vs. Traditional PBX

2006-02-09 Thread Richard Amerman
Sorry to disagree, but unless you are transcoding or have a significant AGI IVR or something, that server should be just fine. While I prefer a bigger server for most installs, it is not because it is needed, more of a, money well spent kind of thing.


If you are transcoding and have an IVR, the picture is diferent.

The box I have been using is the Dell 1850 with SCSI RAID. May be overkill for most applications, but it was under $2,000 so it made sense to me.
