Linksys SPA-941

Filed under: Asterisk, Technology — Ian @ 22:15

I’ve been playing around with a SPA-941 today, integrating it with my asterisk system (more on that later). It’s a really nice SIP phone, that beats the hell out of the Mitel phone I use at work and costs half as much money. Mind you, asterisk does a lot more than the Mitel exchange but that might be because the firmware doesn’t seem to have been updated for a while…

The SPA-941 supports four lines with the latest firmware, though I’ve yet to think of a use for three of them! Call quality is excellent, much better than what I get using an analog phone through a PAP2T adaptor. I’m going to play with some of the more advanced bits, like getting its directory to sync with LDAP when I get more time.

The best bit of the SPA-941? It comes with the 24 ringtone, a bonus of being part of Cisco!
