[asterisk-users] Wireless SIP phone with caller announce?
I know that I could jerry-rig something that would get me caller announce from my Asterisk box, itself, but what I'd really like is a phone that does it like my Panasonics. Panasonic has a beautiful DECT/SIP series of handsets... but I guess they're aimed at the office, and jeepers, nobody wants them announcing your call *there*. (You'd think it'd be an option, off by default, but no.) Any suggestions? Thanks! -Ken -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] wireless ATA
I have a need for an ATA that will register over wifi. *NOT* a DECT phone or other cordless type phone plugged into a wired ATA. Not seeing one right off, and following the recent discussions about compact fanless systems, I thought a custom build-your-own might not only be useful for my purpose, but may be a viable product in its own right. So I started looking for mini-PCI based FXS cards. The only one I seem to find is the OpenVOX A400M. Anyone have experience with it? Any alternatives? Having perused the last fifty or so emails on the various motherboards available, several seem to have two mini-PCI ports, so the very basic idea is to buy one of them and put both an OpenVOX card and a 802.11g radio card in it. Is there any reason these smallish motherboards would be unable to power both boards? Heat issues? Any suggestions on how to choose one of the wifi cards? I would like to run DD-WRT on this beast to handle the wifi-client mode, and I noticed (though have not tried) that DD-WRT has a build that includes asterisk, which would of course drive the FXS port. I figure the whole thing should cost less than US$250, and in quantity perhaps much less. Another thought is to skip the whole FXS port card and use the built-in sound interface to the small motherboard to drive a simple headset based phone. That would be significantly cheaper. If anyone is as interested as I am in creating this beast and would like to donate the needed pieces to the cause, I will commit to writing a web interface and the pieces to do remote provisioning, and we can market the new product...

They come with an 'over the head' style headset or can be worn on a single ear based on user preference. -Ant D ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] wireless VOIP phone recommendations?
Which phones does it work with ? I know it works with the S450, we don't supply the cheaper C series. Can you allocate each phone its own address book or does it need to be shared among all of them ? Each phone's address book is independent. We just wrote a set of scripts to allow clients with a number of S450s to use a common phonebook and keep them in sync. Regards, Chris -- C.M.

Re: [asterisk-users] wireless VOIP phone recommendations?
Is the new Gigaset S675 IP actually available? And has anyone tried it? From what I've heard, yes in Germany. I'm waiting for our preferred supplier to get some over here in the UK, then I can give it a test. I can't find it available in the US. I'm wondering if it's worth waiting or should I just get one of the older models? From what I've been told it's probably still a few weeks away, so if you have an urgent requirement, I'd go with the S450 for now. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

[asterisk-users] wireless VOIP phone recommendations?
I have been using the D-Link DPH-540 wireless VOIP handset, and I really like this phone. We had tried the UStarcomm phone, but the phone is used in a noisy environment and the volume wasn't loud enough. The problem with the D-Link phone is the Li-ion battery needs to be replaced and D-Link doesn't sell a replacement battery and I haven't found any after-market batteries. So this phone is essentially a brick because I need a new battery :( So any recommendations for another wireless VOIP phone? -- Marvin Horst ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

We're using Pirelli DPL10's and nokia N95's with cisco aironet access points and both phones are quite happy roaming around the building (6 access points) during calls - the nokias seem to have better signal strength and audio quality than the pirelli's though.

For the record the best sound quality of any wifi/dect phone i've experienced so far is the humble BT Home Hub with hubphone 1010. Ok its not exactly wifi, but if you think of it as a dect SIP ATA with an optional AP (WDS compliant), adsl modem (its optional you can turn it off) and NAS usb client (it runs samba, again you can turn it off) plus a firewall/router (IPTABLES)its a great piece of kit. Also inexpensive, I pay around 10GBP inc p+p for these from ebay. The only drawback is you have to hack the xml config file as the webui is totally crippled by BT. All in all a very good phone, the hands free mode is the loudest/clearest/echo free phone i've ever had.

Since you're using them with asterisk (this is the asterisk-users list
after-all :), why not implement it in asterisk? Asterisk even has the
voice prompts already for it too, so someone's obviously though about it
in the past...
And this is exactly what I do in my systems, and the beauty is that it's
completely phone independant. You could have DECT phones, desk phones, WiFi
phones, soft phones, etc. all sharing the same phone-book.
Sure, it's not as neat as an in-phone solution (you can't easilly scroll
through the list on the phone), but it's universal over all phone types.
I implement a per-extension phone book, and a system phone book which
everyone has. And with a web interface, you can associate a name to the
number, then incoming caller-id works too, as long as the phone has a good
display.
Heres a working example from some old code I wrote - which I'm sure I got
off a web page (or the book) once upon a time in the past. (The list
commands here won't work with Siemens SIP/DECT phones as they won't let
you dial a trailling star, it's a # in the latest incarnation) This is
only 10 numbers per phone, but it's easy to change for more (eg. *000
through *099 for personal ones, or *100 through *199 for system ones -
left as an excercise to the reader ;-)

[asterisk-users] Wireless Bridge for SNOM360
Due to our house layout I am unable to run some CAT5 cable from one room to another. Therefore I purchased a Belkin wireless ethernet bridge, but to my amazement it does not work :( Though, if I plug the adapter into a PC ethernet port it works a treat. Connects to the AP with a strong signal. I unplug it from the PC, and plug it back into the SNOM and the wireless connection is dropped.

Hi Tobias and the list, Yes, I have, I use and sell them to integrators ;-) But only the 600v3 family, not the older ISND or analog versions, and the current DECT handsets 40XX. Any Digium interfaces run well with them as any SIP IP-Phone, of course. The sound quality is GREAT and the infrastructure deployment possibilities wonderfull and scalable ! But, you must run a training with the company to well understand the how to do and capture the knowledge. I must also say that I am a radio guru and it's certainly easyer for me to understand this kind of equipments and how to avoid the deployment traps that an engineer who doesn't know what are radiocommunications but only VoIP. I have run them behind all current Asterisk versions, including the ASteriskNOW. Check about your codecs as usual.

Some of the Wifi phones--at least under the relatively stable conditions
I have here--work very reliably.
I have 3 Starcom F1000s, and a) if they don't have to roam and b) they
don't have to connect dynamically to different servers, work just fine.
FYI. YMMV.
I still have problems with mine, in a non-roaming, fixed-server setup. I
cannot recommend using them in an office environment.
Depending on the cabling, 10MBit should do for VoIP. As an alternative,
you could still use analogue phones with a FXO/FXS card (sorry I use to
mixup those, I don't have too much analogue phone hardware anymore). Of
course this would give you the full market bandwidth of available
analogue phones.

Then don't be silly and try to give them wifi when the technology is too immature.

You should be able to use 10baseT over Cat 3 cables.
A half decent manageable 10/100 switch will be able to lock the ports to
10Mb. 10 megabits is plenty for voice.
Depending on the quality of the wiring, your mileage may vary. Take care
to use proper structured wiring techniques. Put Cat5 sockets on the desk
end and a patch panel in the closet. DO NOT crimp RJ45 connectors onto
building wiring. They are not meant for this type of cable and THEY WILL
NOT BE RELIABLE.

They aren't perfect - check the WiKi for some details though. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Siemens+Gigaset+C450IP And if you need to extend range, there are relay units avalable, although I've found coverage to be better than other DECT systems I've used. The down-side is that you can only (I think) have 6 base stations in any one area, so if you're looking to give everyone their own wireless phone, it may prove to be problematic - however I've not got the hard facts on number of DECT basestations, so I could be wrong here. On the WiFi side, the only phone I've played iwth is the UT Starcom F1000G, and while it works, most of the time, it's a bit too geeky for general use - it didn't pass the wife test...

If they have Cat 3 to each phone, how can it be physically impossible?
Is it *physically* impossible, or is the client emotionally unready for
the implications?
If they are going to VoIP, it is time to do proper cabling and put in
Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, and do multiple runs per workstation. Diddling
around is for the radio club.
(Another poster pointed out that Cat3 can do 10BaseT, but most Cat3
installations are so old that I wouldn't place my trust in them for
anything requiring the level of reliability people expect of their voice
equipment.)
Voice equipment should work well and all the time -- five 9's
reliability. You're only going to get that by being rigorous.

Re: [asterisk-users] wireless desktop phones
I'm also in the market for a wi-fi phone. My boss currently has a cordless phone and wants to keep the same functionality. We have a robust wireless network in the office and the phone will be staying here, so roaming is not really an issue. Everybody in the office is still going to get wired phones regardless.

Hi the list, Think Kirk solution ;-) www.kirktelecom.com This is an DECT/GAP infrastructure solution, and the bases can be seen as something like SIP/DECT gateways. Each wireless phone is like a separate IP phone from Asterisk side. You can use several bases and repeaters (only radio link, no Ethernet cable) to extend the range and have a global coverage into customers buildings. Very incredible, powerfull and scalable solution ! I think it's probably the only one with such a class and commercial grade.

Just be careful with any multi vendor GAP solution (GAP is Generic Access Profile - which means you are supposed to be able to take a handset from any vendor and match it with a base station from any vendor) Basically it's like any standardsure you get basic functionality but you'll often find advanced features are outside the defined spec.

Re: [asterisk-users] wireless desktop phones
In that respect I'd rather recommend the Linksys WIP300. After initial
frustration it does work great. Roaming actually works pretty well
with perhaps 250ms of silence and or distortion if you have really
good overlapping coverage. People like to blame WiFi for poor
scalability. No doubt it's a challenge.The operators of mobile
networks spend how much planning on cell sites in addition to being
licensed frequencies? You can achieve the same high-quality coverage
with WiFi if you put as much planning and engineering into it. But in
that case you'd probably run Avaya, perhaps Cisco Call Manager and
Spectralink.

The Linksys is available to you after a semi-quick authorization process, are you a VoIP service provider or end user? We resell the Linksys gear to authorized providers, as do many other authorized resellers. Both the reseller and service provider require authorization to complete the transaction.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless VoIP
I've been evaluating the Hitachi WIP-5000 IP Phone for use with asterisk. It works very well in my tests, though i have yet to test out roaming between access points and such it does have good sound quality, it supports ulaw, alaw and g729, and decent SIP support (support for to registration hosts, direct dial, voicemail, presence, text messaging). I have not been able to get STUN to work though there are menu items for it they don't seem to work in the PROM version I have. These phones cost about $330.00 and can be ordered from http://www.verilan.com/store/ If you have a specific question feel free to drop me a line... -Matt On Fri, 2005-03-11 at 19:42 +0100, Sylvain COUTANT wrote: Hi all, I have no experience with wireless VoIP.

Hello, On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Wiley Siler wrote: http://www.voipsupply.com/product_info.php?products_id=456 I would recommend against the Pulver/Zyxel/BCM Phones for several reasons. They get HOT on the ear after some minutes of talk Battery lifetime is too low for real life Even with latest firmware (which took Zyxel from 08/2004 to 03/2005 to release) I experience random crashes of the whole phone. Voice quality is choppy when using G711 and 128bit WEP because the CPU seems too slow to en/decrypt the 80kbit/s VOIP Traffic NO Backup of the Phonebook NO Import into the Phonebook The Webfrontend is still a PITA which works only completely with IE. The first two keypresses are lost when the phone is in standby mode and much more If someone has experience with the Senao stuff or other WiSIP phones I'd like to hear about it.

[Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk
Has anyone had any experience with wireless LANs and Asterisk? We have and here are my impressions. We configured an Asterisk in the office as a precaution to see how it would work for our own retail customers. Our office is open space, about 800 sq ft. (20x40 area). We use Snom200 and Grandstream SIP phones. Using the latest Linksys wireless access point (WAP54g) and 3 wireless bridges (WET54g), I have found that it works most of the time with WPA encryption on, but will occasionally drop voice (loosing packets). With no encryption on the WLAN it seems to work without a hitch! Using a less CPU intense encryption such as 64bit WEP, things also work fine. There must be too much delay with higher rate encryption. Also we had one bridge that seemed to be a week puppy in the litter. It could only muster 60-70% signal strength. It seemed to have problems under all configurations. Finally we positioned it such that it too works well running WEP 64b.

Has anyone had any experience with wireless LANs and Asterisk? I have played with the LocustWorld distro but not at length. Basically, it works. Some sort of QoS tagging for SIP, the docs on it are scanty. It has it's own internal encryption. Never tried it in full force, mostly because of extremely poor WiFi device support. The Intersil Prism2 chipset with the rev. that Linux likes is becoming scarce these days.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk
We are a wireless ISP running Asterisk as an IVR in our office. Our office is connected via wireless to our Internet gateway some 4 miles away. I have had 4 calls going at once without and static or dropped packets. We have deployed normal VoIP services to our customers that are a minimum of 2 wireless hops away from the gateway with little or no problems. Wireless bridges should not interfere with each other as long as they can hear each other. --- Kelly D Griffin Network Engineer Tantella Wireless http://tantella.com 800.636.0306 Voice 479.464.8998 Fax -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Meyer Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 12:39 PM To: Asterisk Users Group Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk Has anyone had any experience with wireless LANs and Asterisk?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk
Mike, I'm using Asterisk over a wireless LAN (Netgear something or the other). I use my desktop as the server and a laptop for remote administration and testing. So far, I haven't had any major problems that I would attribute to the wireless connectivity.

I wonder if you wouldn't have been better off price and performance wise to have used the 10 mbit to powerline adapters. For corded phones, you have to be at a power outlet and you could easily have bought a few of them for the same price as one bridge. My recent playing with a wireless bridge semi annoyed me. I had to put a firewall behind it to get more than 1 device to hop the bridge.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wireless LANs and Asterisk
Hi, My experience: A handfull of concurrent calls, all works fine on 54mbit. Dont try to go beyond that. Specially when your link is not totally 100%. We tried to do 10 calls on a dedicated Conceptronic AP and all fell down. even with the ulaw codec it was not doable for normal conversations. Even disabling web was not the answer, so we took the good old wires again. And another concern: privacy. As you know, WEP is not that strong. And as long as there is no solid encrypted RTP stream everyone with a laptop is able to monitor/record your calls. just my 2 cents -- Michiel van Baak http://lunteren.vanbaak.info [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x7E0B9A2D Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and BSD.
