RE: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura-841 Problems

Wow... sort of a horror story there.  Not sure I have a lot of input other
then we have two 841's that we've been using for about a month now without
out problems.  (I've actually been rather impressed.)  One thing that comes
to mind though, have you tried updating the firmware to the latest?  Or is
that impossible giving their behavior..

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura-841 Problems

Hello Everyone.

Please let me know if this is the incorrect forum for this question.

I recently acquired 3 Sipura-841 phones for use with my asterisk system.

I provisioned and deployed one.  It worked for 3 days, then uddenly, it
stopped working.  Upon reboot, the MWI light blinks 20 times and that's
the end of it.  It has never registered again since then.

So I replaced the phone with another that I had.  I provisioned it, it
went online for a split second, then it too died!  MWI light blinks 20
times, and the phone is dead.

So Sipura sent me out 3 replacement phones the next week.

Now, I've provisioned a replacement phone.  I was talking on it for 2
hours when it died.  (guess what)  Same problem mostly.   MWI light blinks
20 times, and the phone just doesn't work.  (Except this one will reboot
itself every 5 minutes.  About every 10th reboot, it will go online for a
few minutes, then die again)


Curious if anyone has experienced the same problem?

I have tried all these phones in four totally unique environments.  (ie:
differetn dhcp servers, differnet hubs/switches, different ISPs, etc) 
Problem is consistent across them all.

I've tried cvs-head, and asterisk-1.05, same problem.

One other thing..  If I use the exact same SIP credentials/config on a
Linksys PAP2, or Linksys RT31P2, it works fine, or even any softphone.

Any direction would be appreciated.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura 841 Headset microphone volume?

2005-03-10 Thread James Pooton
I think you're in luck :)  Sipura has a new firmware out for the 841 now,
version 3.1.1a.  (Quite the jump from 0.9.5)  It includes -6db, 0db, +6db
options for input gain on the handset, headset and speakerphone now. Release
notes and downloads are available on their site.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura 841 Headset microphone volume?

We're setting up some Sipura 841 phones and they're working pretty well, but
the microphone volume on the headset (not the handset) is too loud with our
Plantronics headsets. Is there some way to turn down the amplification on
the headset mic?

The microphones are picking up the sound of someone walking on the floor
across the room and every little movement or shuffle of the user. I found
places to control the output volume of handset, headset, speaker, and ring
but I haven't found anything for input control.

Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Single FXS port with multiple phones ?

2005-03-09 Thread James Pooton
Hello all..  

I have what I think is a rather simple question here.  We're using * for
home and business lines with great success so far. (inbound, outbound,
several hard phones, voicemail, IVR, etc)  

My next project is to get some of my traditional POTS phones at home on the
system.  I understand this requires an FXS interface(s), which really is my
question.  If I don't care about having individual extensions for every line
(as most homes don't) then I'm thinking it should be possible to just have
a single FXS interface that would replace the telco's normal line connection
to my home wiring after the demarc (assuming it could provide the juice
required by my phones).  Stop me here if I'm wrong. :)  

In trying to research this further, I'm looking at getting an SPA-3000 to do
the FXS duties (as I could also use the FXO interface for something else),
and it gives a variety of FXS specs.  After a bunch of Googling it would
seem that REN (ringer equivalence number) is one I need to pay attention to.
The SPA-3000 says it can provide 3 REN.  So as long as I stay under that
total for my phones am I pretty much safe or are there other specs that I'm
overlooking?  Like possibly if more then one phone is off hook to talk on
the line at the same time?

In a semi-related question, I have a bunch of 2.4 Ghz cordless sets here and
the base stations say Ring Equivalence: 0.0B.  Could this truly be the
case?  Like the phones just monitor the line for a ring signal but don't
draw current from it when it's ringing. I can see how it's possible as they
have their own AC, but I just wanted to confirm.

Sorry for the long post, I thought it would be shorter.

2005-03-09 Thread James Pooton
Excellent, thanks for the info.  That hiss is interesting; maybe all the
extra wire makes it tougher for the SPA to drive.  In any event it sounds
like it will do what I want. Thanks.. :)

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Single FXS port with multiple phones ?

James,

the SPA's have a FXS Port Power Limit which is 3 by default. The
range is 1-8. I have a SPA 2000 with 6 phones on one port (entire
house wired to one port) which works OK as long as your phones do not
rely on power from the line (cordless phones, etc. are fine). On the
second port I have just one phone, no problem using both ports
simultaneously.

The only problem I have is the hissing noise on the line -- it seems
to be higher than what I'm used to from regular telco lines. I'm
confident it's due to the wiring in the house, not the number of
phones. I had all six plugged in directly, works fine, no hiss; if I
leave just one plugged in and still use the house wiring, more hiss.
It's probably to do with the impedance setting, but neither one seems
to make a noticeable difference.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SJphone on PDA registering with Asterisk???

2005-03-07 Thread James Pooton


Well, given your setup and the fact that you aren't seeing anything on the
console with verbose debugging on, I'm going to guess there is a
network/routing issue here.  I'd try getting the PDA on line and just doing
some simple ping tests to the 192.168.250.x network from it. (including to
the * server).  If you can reach it then is surely should let you register
or at least give you info on the console.

There might be the problem:

I have the server at two ethernet cards reachable:
Extern with a public IP
Intern with 192.168.250.20
on this internal LAN is a wireless accesspoint, which in return changes 
the IP address to a network 192.168.1.x
There is a NAT between the internal server IP and the PDA, and there is 
a nat between internal IP and Internet.

Do you have host=dynamic in your * sip.conf entry for 701 ? Actually
might
help to toss your sip.conf entry out here for 701 without the secret.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Recommended Phone for beginner

2005-03-07 Thread James Pooton
I've been running a pair of Sipura 841's with my business partner.  So far
I've been very impressed for the money.  Having multiple lines (with
multiple registrations) has also been really nice as we both have our work
line and home line off the phones.  (And you can update them for 2 more
lines for a total of 4 also).  Custom ringers you can upload, 100 number
phone directory and intercom capability really make it fun.  About the only
thing I'd like to see on it is a backlit display. You can find out a lot
more online at Sipura's site, but it's definitely a model to consider.  

Good luck..

Hello everyone, I've been watching this list for a while, but it is the 
first time I've posted. I'ved decided to setup a * server for my house and 
will need 3 phones (one main, one for my wife, and one for my office). I was

wondering if there was a particular brand that people reommended? I'd like 
ot get an actual SIP phone, instead of an adapter like the Sipura SPA-2000. 
I've been looking at the Grandstream BudgetTone 100 series but after looking

at the Wiki for setting up * with that phone it looks like it might be more 
trouble than its worth. Of course I would love a Cisco 79* but I'd like to 
keep the cost at a minimum but get a good amount of flexibility in tersm of 
features. Hopefully once I get over the learning hump I can start 
contributing to this list.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

That's surprising; I thought they were one of the larger outfits.  I have
tried quite a few for outbound lately and the only one that has reliably
passed Caller ID (using our 406 area code) is simpletelecom.com.  They are
also the only ones I've tried that respond to a support ticket in a
reasonable amount of time.

What is really odd is that I can pass caller ID with iax.cc/Sixtel in other
area codes, but nothing in 406 which I need to do. (Our local numbers)
Anyone know why that would be ?

2005-03-02 Thread James Pooton
I think MOH “works” without a timing source, but can get end up sounding
poor without one. (stuttering, etc)  At least that has been my experience.
Without a card, ztdummy becomes an option for timing if the box has the
correct USB controller to make use of:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+timer+ztdummy

Or you can add a cheap card.  We have a box colo'd that I just threw an 8$
card in and works great for MOH, meetme, etc.

As for no MOH on hold button pressing, I'd look to your * config for MOH..
