[asterisk-biz] Linksys SPA-XXX

[Ross Duke]

Ron,

It's probably not much of a help, but I downloaded the latest firmware
(dated 5th of December I think) and there is a setting to disable the
showing of missed calls.

We've deployed literally hundreds of 941/942's.  They're absolutely rock
solid.  I think we've only had 2 failures from all the units we've
installed.

My only gripe is that when using the directory feature you can't do a
search by alpha (ie if I want to find Tom in the directory I've got to
scroll all the way from "A" to "T").

I have noticed that they've now stopped putting the Cisco logo on the
front of the phones.  This was always a bit of a selling point for us!


Ross.

We have stopped using them. Things our customers complained about:

1. You cannot disable showing missed calls. Very annoying when
    people are in groups or queues.
2. The handset mikes are low quality, if you turn away your head
    a bit, the volume drops too much.
3. When booting up after reprovisioning, the phone shows the
    previous config before applying the new one. This confuses
    customers, because they start dialing before the phone is ready.
    (We reprovision phones whenever a new person logs into it).
4. When you have a missed call, the redial button is gone, the
    lcr button appears instead. You have to press the low
    left button twice to wipe the missed calls. Especially bad
    if your phone is in a group or queue and your colleagues
    pick up the phone most of the time.
5. No national language support at all. The world is bigger than
    just the US guys.
6. When you set factory default, the phone reboots, but you have
    to unplug the power before the phone totally reprovisions. Bad
    for remote support.
