[Asterisk-Users] Busy Lamp Field SIP Phone

[dbruce]

The Cisco 7960 SIP firmware does not support the 7914 "sidecar"... To use the "sidecar" you need to use the SCCP (Call Manager) Firmware. There is chan_skinny in Asterisk but I don't recall seing support in it for the 7914. You may want to look at the chan_sccp driver.. it is supposed to have support for the "sidecar".

As far as I know there are no phones that will support monitoring 20 extensions with BLF.

Regards,
Derek

  Does anyone have a recommendation for a good SIP phone with a busy lamp field? I need my operator to be able to see extension status for about 20 extensions and transfer via HOLD + extension button. I've got a pair of SNOM 360s with the sidecar, but I'm very disappointed with them. The buttons are cheap and rubbery like a Sipura 841, the handset cord is short and cheap, the audio quality is not good, the speaker is bad, the button layout is too busy, and I've found it very hard to train my users how to use.

   

  Has anyone else had the same experience with the 360s? I'm ready to replace them with anything. I put Polycom 501's in for everyone else and they are wonderful.

   

  Does the Cisco 7960 + 7914 work well for such an application? Keep in mind it has to show free/busy status of 20 although I guess we could get by with 14 if the 7960 + 7914 is a solid option. I'm in Louisville, KY if anyone knows of a distributor or retailer that I could demo a unit from.

   

  Thanks
