Help please . . . . Is anyone using the 3Com 3102 (3C10402B) Phone with FreeSwitch ? I have got FreeSwitch up and running with the SoftPhone, but can't get a 3Com hardware phone to talk to FreeSwitch. I have the phone getting its IP Address from DHCP and it can see the FreeSwitch server but I can't find anything in the phone to allow the extension & password to be configured. Can FreeSwitch send this data to the phone (and if so, which configuration files are involved) or must the phone be configured manually before it can talk to FreeSwitch ? Any help would be really appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out here ! Regards Dave

Tihomir, thanks for the link, but actually, I had already found/downloaded/read and almost understood that document ! However, the options to log into the phone and configure the extension number etc. do not appear on my phone. From reading another post on the web, I don't think that the phone has the SIP software loaded until it is downloaded from the Server - I think that there is a "special" version of Asterix for 3Com that does this, maybe the same functionality does not exist in FreeSwitch ? Maybe I should have been clearer in the post below, but I think that this is the root of the problem. I think that the 3Com phone is looking for the Switch to download the SIP firmware to it and FreeSwitch does not seem to do that. Given that you have pointed me in the direction of that document, are you using 3Com Phones with FreeSwitch ? If so, I'm obviously on the wrong track, but please let me know how you've made it work regards Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Tihomir Culjaga (tculjaga@gmail.com) To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org (freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org) Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 7:53 PM Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] 3Com 3102 (3C10402B) Phone with FreeSwitch you might read this before you bigin :Pstevendt@primrosebank.net (stevendt@primrosebank.net)> wrote: Help please . . . .

I think you are most likely on the wrong track, 3COM phones are locked to either 3COM PBX or the special Asterisk edition locked-down by 3COM. You cannot make them work with either FreeSWITCH or any other open SIP server other than 3COM IP PBX systems.
I learned this over one year ago by playing with 3COm 3102 phones myself.

Chris, thanks a lot for the response. It's not the answer that I wanted, but it is what I was coming round to thinking. As much as I'm disappointed (particularly as I've just got the phone), but at least it's a definitive answer and I can avoid wasting any more time with it, so thanks again. Oh well, off to try and find some open SIP phones that will actually work for me, regards Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Chen (chris.chen2004@gmail.com) To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org (freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org) Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 8:18 PM Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] 3Com 3102 (3C10402B) Phone with FreeSwitch I think you are most likely on the wrong track, 3COM phones are locked to either 3COM PBX or the special Asterisk edition locked-down by 3COM.

well, if it is a sip phone than you should be able to input your username&password somewhere.
Usually, SIP phones downloads their configuration using dhcp/tftp|http method... the FW is downloaded just once if you need to upgrade the phone...

I don't have any of these phones on my desk, just found the manual on the web.

anyhow, freeswitch is expecting a SIP phone to register and thats it ... there is no specific phone provisioning from FS side.
