[Asterisk-Users] Mitel 5220 phones

2004-11-19 Thread Michael Rowley
Hello,
Just wanted to post a success story.  I recently purchased 4 mitel 5220 
phones and have them  working with my Asterisk setup.  Was fairly 
painless once I had the right phones.  There are apparently several 
models of the 5220.  Only the 50003791 and 50003790 are actually dual 
mode, so make sure to request those models.  You can tell on the white 
mitel sticker on the back.  Mine says MITEL 5220 IP DUAL PORT 
50003791 and works fairly well.  I don't have the paging function set 
up yet, but am able tomake incoming and outgoing calls.

Here is what I had to do to make them work.  The default is for them to 
be in Minet protocol, so you hold down the SuperKey (or Menu, depending 
on what insert you use) and apply power.  It will come up and ask if 
you want to CONFIGURE PHONE?  select YES.

Then it will Say NETWORK PARAMETERS? select NO
HARDWARE CONFIG? select NO
PHONE MODE?  select YES
PROTOCOL? select YES
PHONE MODE: Minet  select Change
Then select SIP, Accept, Yes, it will save to NVram,
REBOOT NOW? select Yes
It will reboot, then download the flash file from mitel, extract it, 
reboot again, then you can push Superkey and line 1, get the ip 
address, and go to the internal web server to set up the SIP and 
network setting  you need, along with a user.

Some things I have noticed up to now...  The phone boot _much_ faster 
than the old 5055's I have.  And there appears to be less echo.

The 5220's ran me 290$ apiece.  I will update as I find out more about 
the phones.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] goto() results in invalid extension

2004-11-01 Thread Michael Rowley
Yeah, yeah, rtfm, I know... :)
This is after several editions.  The original was trying to refer to 
the incoming DID of 6044, so was programatically correct at 
Goto(afterhours,6044,1)  Plus, the GotoifTime's should work.  Actually, 
the afterhours should work, if I have an extension of 'afterhours' in 
the current context.  I didn't notice this until you pointed it out...  
but it was correct in previous revisions... and I was tyring to test it 
during the week, when the previous Goto's should have taken 
precidence... and they _all_ failed.

Any reason why the rest should give me 'invalid extension'?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sending broadcasts to all phones?

Do you have a link to this?  I have done a search, and cannot locate 
it.  I think I may be searching with the wrong terms.

Any help would be appreciated.

What is this feature called?
Would it be possible to set this up with Asterisk given the 
appropriate phones? (Cisco?)

This can be done with Cisco phones and 6.x or 7.x firmware.  It is on 
the wiki.

[Asterisk-Users] freeBSD zaptel driver

Hello,

Does anyone have any information on the zaptel driver under freeBSD?  I 
know that there has been a 1200$ bounty posted, but wasn't sure if 
anyone with any talent has taken up the project.  (I don't really have 
any talent... :|  )

[Asterisk-Users] FXO cards

2003-12-09 Thread Michael Rowley
Hey,

Here is a quesion for you.  I am still battling with the phone system 
for my new buisiness.

6 incoming lines, 1 fax, DSL.  8 phones max, will provably start with 5 
to save money.

I was thinking of using Asterisk, but having difficulty finding 
appropriate buisiness phones.  The Mitel 5055 is the best one I have 
found, but the price seems to be about 400$ per phone.  $2K, plus a 
500$ server, then how to get the 6 B1(pots) lines into it.

I had thought of using a channel bank, but what a pain in the ass that 
is becoming.  For one, they are expensive, and I then have to buy the 
T1 card for the phone server.  I though, why not go with an FXO card.  
I wish there was an X400P card with 4 ports on it, but, que sera.  I 
can get them for 100$ apiece, or $50 for the knock offs on ebay, but 
that means 6 pci slots.  Not easy, I could use one of the pci extender 
boxes, but now I am worried about conflicts.  Or dialogic analog 4 or 
12 port cards for about 1500 to 1800$.  :(  This is getting expensive.  
Part of the idea was to save some money.  The other part was to use 
open software as much as possible, and support the FOSS community where 
ever possible.

Here comes the question, wait for it :)

Has anyone had success with the dialogic 4 port cards, running 2 of 
them in a server with * in a buisiness environment as stated above.

I am begining to think that I may be better off just going with a 
proprietary system and cough up the 6K and get it over with.   There 
are a couple of solutions that will share the cat5 cable, that's 
something.

Any ideas?  Suggestions?  Does anyone know of a solution provider out 
there who will be able to set this up for me for the 6K the phone 
system is going to cost me anyway?

[Asterisk-Users] Re: FXO cards

2003-12-09 Thread Michael Rowley
Steven,

I know how to RTFM.  I have found no reference yet to how many x100P 
cards I can run in one box.  Where did you find that reference?  I have 
looked at the manual avaliable from *.org, downloaded the pdf of the 
x100p card tech info, it doesn't say it anywhere.

'course, I'm just sad as it would be a much cheaper way to go.  I was 
afraid that there would be a problem with multiple cards in one box.  I 
can get the four port Dialogic card for about 900$, or the 12 for 2K.  
But then were are the same price, or just a bit more than a channel 
bank and a t100p card.

So, the docs say no more than 2 x100p cards sane, has anyone done it?  
put 5 or 6 in one box?

Michael.

[Asterisk-Users] was FXO cards

2003-12-09 Thread Michael Rowley
Hey guys,

appreciate the input.  Here are some thoughts.

ADSI phones are out of the question.  This is a business environment, I 
can't worry about my employees not knowing how to forward calls, answer 
calls when away from the multiline phone, and no ADSI phone will handle 
multiple lines that I have found.

I would love to put 6 X100P cards in a case and run asterisk on it.  
but...

I hate the idea of running a channel bank.  It just seems unecessary, 
and more crap to break, set up, and buy.

DIalogic 4 and 12 port cards are expensive.  The 12 port prohibitively 
so, so I think I would be better off getting 2 of the 4 port cards.  I 
have found them for 900$ apiece on ebay.

That compairs  as:

Case 1  Channel bank

Asterisk box: 500$ (provably less than this, as it is a minimal machine)
T100P card: 500$
Channel Bank 600$ (actually, from what I can find, provably more like 
1000$ before I am done)
Phones:  I am going to go with the Mitel Networks 5055, they are about 
400$ apiece.
Total: 1600$ for the setup (to 2000$) + 2000K for 5 phones.

Case 2: FXO cards

Asterisk box 500$
Dialogic 4 port card 900$
Phones: same as the above
Total 1400$ plus phones, 2K$ for 5 phones.
Case 3 proprietary system

Mitel 3100 server: 3K
Phones: 250$ apiece, 1250$ total.
4250$ total.
Case 1 and 2 are ties in my eyes, except the channel bank would 
provably be cheaper to upgrade to 8 lines.  I am just afraid of the 
channel bank.  I just don't know anything about them.  If I buy the 
wrong crap, it gets really expensive fast, plus adds another layer of 
complexity.

[Asterisk-Users] Phone compatibility list

2003-11-23 Thread Michael Rowley
Hello!

Is there a phone compatibility list anywhere?  I know Asterisk is 
supposed to be compatible with IP phones that support SIP, h.232, and 
IAX, but a list of phone known to be supported would be a nice addition 
to the documentation.  I need a buisiness phone, and the Cisco is 
_EXPENSIVE_  I like the 3com 1102, but it is NBX phone, and I can find 
no documentation of this phone working with Asterisk, even though it is 
listed as a SIP phone, and is supposed to support h.232.  Anyone got 
this one  working?
