[Asterisk-Users] Busy Lamp Field SIP Phone

[Thomas Christie]

This may not be the answer you're looking for ... but why not whip up a
little program or web application for the operator's PC that shows the
extension, name, busy status, new voice-mail count, etc?  Or you could have
it done by a consultant.  In the long run, it will probably be less hassle,
cheaper, and much more functional than what you're considering.
 
And as luck would have it, I'm a consultant programmer ...

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Busy Lamp Field SIP Phone



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
