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.. -James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LES.NET (1996) INC. Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 8:03 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion 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?
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. -James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Bussinger Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 9:09 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' 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?

[Asterisk-Users] Single FXS port with multiple phones ?
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. -James ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] Single FXS port with multiple phones ?
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.. :) -James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Luki Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 6:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion 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. --Luki ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SJphone on PDA registering with Asterisk???
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. -James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ronald Wiplinger Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 8:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] SJphone on PDA registering with Asterisk???

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Recommended Phone for beginner
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.
