Before committing to about 50 of the spa942's, I like to take a last
poll from those on the list to identify any negative issues that might
be associated with the audio, functionality, early failures, etc, on
the spa942.
We have been using Cisco hard phones with Asterisk for over two years.
Our longest experience has been with 7960g phones although recently I
switched to the 7970g for evaluation. Several of us have tried the
SPA942's for about one month. Personally I was real happy to go back to
a Cisco IP phone. The sound quality is useable but just not as good on
the SPA942. And the speaker phone on the SPA942 is poor enough quality
that it is barely usable.
Yes, we see about the same here comparing the old BT102, Cisco 79x), and
the spa942. Given most of the demo's thus far are with small banks,
price weights very heavily in their mind.
We include the SPA-942 in our side by side demos for prospective
customers. So far they are buying Cisco and willing to pay the higher
price.
The sales pitch tries to address the sip licensing costs on the Cisco
79x0's, and when that's added to the base refurb cost, the banks seem to
move quickly to the 942's.
We only have four of the SPA-942's and have not seen any failures in our
limited use.
Expecting to deploy these using existing cat5 cabling and both rj45
jacks. Been using three of theme in a short term demo with the
customer, but the demo systems has been purposefully configured with
only basic telephony functions.
Oh... someone mentioned the headset (no handset) pin jack is only for
the microphone (and not the speaker) which would seem very odd. Anyone
using a headset with the 942 where both the microphone and earpiece
function fully?
We have used them with VXI headsets and the microphone works fine.
Good. Who mentioned the 'mic only' must not have had the correct
headset/plug for the spa942.
