Re: [Asterisk-Users] 3com NBX phones

[Clif Jones]

I know a little history on the 3com SIP phones... We have about a dozen 
of them
where I work.  I'm not familiar with the NBX100 model number but the ones we
have are labeled: P/N: 655005001.  The first ones didn't support SIP out 
of the
box and had to be upgraded with a new flash image.  I can't recall if 
they came from
the factory with H323 or the 3com proprietary IP protocol but the phones 
look just
like the 3com PBX phones you see in small businesses.  3com abandoned 
the phone
after spinning off the SIP division (Commworks?) and determining that 
the phone
hardware just didn't have the resources to continue work on SIP.  It is 
a shame because
these phones boot faster than any other IP phone I have seen and have a 
good speakerphone.
The image that we use is pre-RFC3261 but would probably work with Asterisk.

The original NBX100 phones spoke a proprietary voice-over-l2
ethernet protocol, but would upgrade to ip connectivity with
a liscense key on the NBX PBX box.  There was an optional
software package that would let the NBX talk to an h323
gateway but it ran on nt and was rather klunky.   

These originally came out in 97 or 98, so sip functionality
in the originals is rather unlikely.

I believe they did make a version that spoke SIP, but
   

they're rare.
 

The ones on eBay are most likely 100% proprietary.
