Good Evening All :) For those of you who have experience in the area and have actually implemented large volume of IP Phone sets or ATAs I have a few questions. These units will be setup to connect to one central system (Asterisk) from outside. So, NAT is probably important. The following are the requirements that have to be met by the IP Phone set or the ATA:
IP Phone: -Support SIP or IAX (MGCP support is a bonus) -Have at least 1 X LAN in addition to the 1 X WAN port -Support G.729 besides supporting G.711 (I can settle for just G.711 if I have to) -NAT friendly (Probably this rules out lots of sets) -Cheapest available and looking for any or all options available. (color or no style don't bother me) -Provisionable over HTTP or TFT (this would be one amazing feature that I would love to have on the ATA or the phone; No necessary feature) ATA -Support SIP or IAX (MGCP support is a bonus) -Have at least 1 X LAN in addition to the 1 X WAN port -At least 1 X FXS port (Don't really need FXO but if it's available I don't care; 2 X FXS would be a bonus) -Support G.729 and G.711 (can settle for G.711 if have to) -NAT friendly -Provisionable over HTTP or TFT (this would be one amazing feature that I would love to have on the ATA or the phone; No necessary feature) -Cheapest available and looking for any or all options available. I know that Linksys allows provisioning but I think even their program is hard to obtain or at least costs a lot. Please let me know if you know otherwise. Since lots and lots of these units are needed so I don't think that price or provisioning would be a problem. Please remember to definitely keep prices under $100.
