Hello List,
After seeing a few positive responses for the Linksys SPA-942 phones I was
hoping to get some answers on the following questions:
? How do the phones handling system wide paging? Is it similar to the
Polycom phones?
|
Yes it's quite similar, just be aware that unlike the Polycoms, if you
page a phone (auto answer header) that is in a conversation the SPAs
will put the current call on hold and take the auto answered phone,
therefore before paging an SPA make sure to use app_chanisavail first.
| Quote: | ? Can a corporate directory be configured with the phones using
Asterisk?
|
Don't know, I never tried it, but IIRC the web page to the SPA configs
has a tab for that.
| Quote: | ? How is the speaker phone quality?
|
For the price it's great, but it's not the best, in my opinion it's
acceptable quality. It's not as good as the Cisco which is worst than
the Polycoms. I would say it's around as good as the Aastras

No idea I'm afraid, none of our clients use paging functionality.

Yes and no. You can set up a directory on a per-phone basis through the web interface, but it isn't overwritten by a provisioning config. You can fudge the issue some with curl and a php (or insert choice of preferred scripting language) script.

Excellent. Noticably better than either the Snom 370 or Snom 300 that also populate my desk. Polycoms are a bit harder to come by here in the UK, so I haven't had much experience with them and can't do a direct comparison, but definitely much better than the speakerphones in the Snom units. I would say on a par with the Cisco 7960 (which also graces my desk).
Regards,
Chris

So far I've never run into anything that's even /close/ to the
speakerphone quality of the Polycoms. There's no comparison on the
speakerphone between the Linksys phones and the Polycoms - it's chalk
and cheese, but by the same token that holds true for just about every
other phone too.

For what it's worth, some of the later firmware updates have seemed to
help the speakerphone quality on the Linksys phones. You may want to
check to see that you're running the latest firmware.
