[asterisk-users] Siemens OpenStage phones and Asterisk

[klitzing at pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de]

Hi!

> Any recent experience to share when using OpenStage phones in SIP mode
> and Asterisk ? 

I found these phones not to be very comfortable to use, even though they do 
look interesting and the hardware is well done. If I remember well you can run your on JAVA 
(and/or XML) applications on it - loading it the first time takes a while, though.

> What about provisionning (and localization) ?

Provisioning is certainly a strong feature of those phones, but it is also complex. Look at the 
Asterisk solution "Gemeinschaft" if you are interested in a PBX product that has attacked 
this.  

> BLF ?

Working but limited (during my short test I think I didn't get pickup-with-BLF-button working). 
It is very well possible that with a newer firmware this was addressed. See also:

> Audio quality ?

Good or very good.

P.S.: Last time I checked the firmware was not easily available from Siemens.
