Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sipura SPA-841 Phone Review

2005-04-20 Thread Gareth Blades
It works for me with the default SIP settings. I am using the latest
firmware.
I have found that you have to restart * for it to pick up on the new PIN
code however.

The Labtech noise canceling headsets are the ones which seem to cause
the poblem and result in a lot of humming. Normal headsets seem to work
fine.

Well, I bought two of these when they were first released.. They seemed like 
VERY nice phones for the money except for the fact that the headset jacks 
did not work at all on either device. Tried multiple headsets none of them 
worked. I had to return the phones..

I also remember the buttons getting stuck down a lot..
It seems that there are LOTS of issues with the headset jack for folks. If 
Sipura could make the headset jack solid, it would be a great, affordable 
phone in my opinion.

[Asterisk-Users] Sipura SPA-841 Phone Review

2005-04-10 Thread Kerry Garrison


More known for their line of analog terminal adapters (ATA's), Sipura has 
released their first business hard phone. Small in size and large in features, 
The Sipura SPA-841 IP telephone can be configured as a two (2) line or, via a 
simple software upgrade, a four (4) line full featured business phone with pixel 
based graphical display, speakerphone and headset port. Stylish and functional 
in design, the SPA-841 can be used in residential, SOHO, enterprise and small to 
medium business service offerings including IP PBX, hosted IP telephony and IP 
Centrex. We put the phone to test to see if it lived up to the high standard 
that we are used to with other Sipura products.

headset jack will receive a considerable amount of interference into 
your conversation (when NOT using a headset).

Also don't even try using a headset... volume is low and there is a loud 
humming noise.

Last annoying factor is that pressing a Line button while already 
engaged in a conversation on that line will disconnect your call.  
Better example--

You're in a conference call with L1 and L2
You want to put L1 on hold and talk to L2 privately
Most phones, you'd just press L2
On the 841 doing so would disconnect L2 and leave you speaking with L1

I have the 841, it puts calls on hold when pressing another line, though 
I have each line as a separate extension.
Perhaps theres a setting in the configuration that need to be turned on

I too, don't seem to have any of the problems you indicate. I find the
phones seem to work quite well on headphone as well.

However I have upgraded two of our phones from the supplied 0.9 software
to 3.0 and the headphone and speakerphone become unusable due to
background noise muting the incoming headset and speaker audio.

I have discovered that you can lock up the ones with 0.9 sw if you set
the provisioning wrong. I got out of it by disconnecting the newtwork
cable, changing the ip of the unit and was able to get back into them.

Apart from that they seem to be good value for money and do the job
well.

I just hope sipura can fix the overactive muting on the
speakerphone/headset or I need to get hold of sw to downgrade the two
phones back to 0.9

Many key and hybrid systems work just as you describe, and probably 
just as many do not.
The user needs to read the manual before operation, but few ever bother.
The manual clearly states to press the hold button, placing BOTH calls 
on hold, then the line key for the call you want to continue.
As with  the reply vs reply all issue  on a mailing list, each 
camp has their reasons why it should work a given way.
Well... it's just different than other phones I've used.  Would be nice
