Avaya IPO 3rd Party Wireless SIP Phones 1

[xlntech]

I'm trying to find a third party wireless SIP handset I can use with Avaya IP Office 500. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

Any SIP phone should work if you have the right licenes BUT.... if you want trouble then use wireless SIP phones.
My advise is : unless you have a unlimited budget and a very patient customer then stay away from it.

A simple mind delivers great solutions

Thanks for the reply (I think ) Why are wireless SIP phones more problematic than wired?

 

[djmtrar]

Because implementing wifi networks are so dificult. QOS, latency and roaming problems. Depending the hardware... etc. etc.

It's better whith DECT. It's my opinion of course.

What I am really trying to find are Wireless SIP phones that work with the Avaya IP Office. I appreciate the technology advice but right now I'm just trying to find out if anyone has any suggestions on models they know work with the IP Office.

SIP is very basic and just about any device that follows SIP standards will work, so long as it is properly licensed and configured. You could also consider the Avaya 3641 and 3645 solutions. At least they're well documented.

Use SIP DECT. Your base is SIP, but the wireless is DECT. Best of both

one option to wireless sip phones is to use smartphones with a sip cliente. The problem here is the battery consumption.

The KIRK KWS6000 wireless server is a master at this.

the base station registers DECT phones as SIP endpoints. Its robust and works well. Forget Wifi, the customer WILL hate you for it.

Thanks for the answer. Already looked at those. As with most Avaya solutions, the 364x phones are more expensive and complex than should be necessary for getting a couple of users up on wireless handsets.

The Grandstream DP-715 works, for the most part (as long as you don't need to park or transfer calls).

Transfer is a pain in the bum when it comes to IP Office and SIP, more don't work than work and Avaya just blame everyone else for not doing it the "official" way....Avaya, just support multiple methods as nearly evey other vendor does, then we can actually find some useable handsets and apps and will buy your nice expensive licences

Just don't do it as it is a pain in the ass to get it working properly.
Customers do not want to spend the money and you have to fix the issues when it does not work as expected.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

The polycom spectralink phones are documented to work with third party endpoint licences so you could have a look at them.

I have a guy that uses iphones (old iphone 3gs) with Bria as a SIP client but their needs for the phone are not very high and I would not be happy with the way they work or sound sometimes.
Depending on the users you also have to constantly fix the damn Apple junkers because someone goes into the settings and breaks them.
Real phones like Kirk that HSM suggested are the best solution but you can live with cheaper alternatives if you have a high pain tolerance.

Interrupt the silence only if you improve it by saying something, otherwise be quiet and everybody will be grateful.

We managed to get call park and transfers to work on the Grandstream DP-715:

For call park, we had to create 2 new short codes, one to park and one to unpark. Don't use the N in the shortcode, and for the telephone number, use the number 1:
*61
Call Park
1

*62
UnPark Call
1

For transfers to work, make sure "Call Waiting On" is checked for the user in the User->Telephony->Call Settings. To transfer, you press the right arrow "R" on the phone, and when you get 2nd dial tone, call the extension you wish to transfer to. Both blind and assisted transfers work.

EmuDan: Can you tell me what your settings are on the GP-715 to make it work with IPO?
