Going back to the beginning of this thread.

 

It's not a bad looking phone, but I assume you did not select them based on
a beauty contest.  I would put them into the category of 'closed' phones,
meaning that they are really not made with the intent to work on other
systems than Avaya's.  On the Nortel side the 11xx improved quite a bit,
especially with firmware 3.x, but then an upgrade to firmware 3.x requires a
new license.  There are always surprises.  The biggest issue for us
supporting these phones has been that we have no ability to open a ticket
with Avaya to get things fixed.  Therefore, taking all this and including
support cost into account, new phones might not be that bad an option.

Subject: [sipx-users] From Header Info Incomplete on Unmanaged Phones

 


 My organization requires that we use the Avaya 9640 handsets for our SIP
phone implementation.  So far, I have not had many issues with this
deployment.  However, I am stuck on an issue with these phones because they
are 'unmanaged'.  If you examine the attached pcaps, you will see where the
problem lies.

In the 'topolycom' pcap, the phonecall is from the avaya 9640 handset.  In
frame 9, you can see that the caller's name information is missing.

In the 'toavaya' pcap, the phonecall is from a polycom 670 handset.  In
frame 9, you can see that the caller's name information is present.

I know that this is not an Avaya 9640 issue, because I can also reproduce
the issue with the Adore sip phone client on my iPhone, and the X-Lite soft
phone client on my windows pc.  

It is an unmanaged phone issue.

I tried to explore adding support for the phones in sipX.  I found this
page:
http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/Adding_support_for_managed_phones ...
However, the links to download the code are all broken, thus making it
difficult for me to add the support....

-Or- 

Is there a much simpler way for me to get complete from header information
to be passed on unmanaged phones?
