I am very new to the Voip system and am trying to find the best phone with least amount of hardware. We have 3 voip phone lines. Is it possible to have all three lines ring on each phone? will the display distinguish the calls from each voip line? The reason I ask is that 1 voip line is our home number and the 2 other numbers are separate business lines. But I don’t want to have a million handsets around the house…LOL.. to easy to misplace.

One phone upstairs, one downstairs and one in garage would be perfect. Even more so if I could distinguish who’s call (home, business#1 or business#2) is coming in so I can answer the phone appropriately. Or does each voip line have to have its own phone in which case I would have 3 upstairs, 3 down and 3 in garage???

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I have a trixbox C.E 2.6, with Asterisk 1.4 but having trouble with my New Gigaset A580IP. Previously I’ve had a Snom M3 working fine, but after the handset fell on the floor it broke, so I bought this Gigaset to replace it.
I can with no problems call to the Gigaset, audio perfect, but when calling out of the house, there is no audio in the handset, the one I’m calling can hear me, but I can’t hear the other end. I’ve got other Gigaset handsets on the base, and the issue is the same. Calling internally to other extensions the audio is perfect both in and out.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards
Flemming

GZ,

Each handset can be configured as a different unique SIP extension to a single asterisk server. It has been tested and fully functional with Asterisk.

Hi,

I’m just wondering if this system can be configured to work with Asterisk and if each handset can be a different extension using on single VOIP account.

Thanks in advance,
GZ

I create one extension on TrixBox CE server;
Register that extension on Gigaset A580IP configuration “Settings > Telephony >Connections”. Status: Registered.
Then, when I’m trying to make calls from other extension to this extension doesn’t work.

I can make calls from other extensions, making calls using TrixBox “Outbound routes” to use different VOIP accounts, and it works fine.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I just hooked up one of these to my Trixbox. I have it receiving calls and dialing internal extensions fine. I can’t seem to get it to dial outside?

@Jay

I asked our Gigaset Representative if the EU version would ever come over to the states. He replied that there is no DECT repeater that Gigaset manufacturers to accompany the A580 IP or S675 IP in the US, but did hint that the Snom M3 DECT repeater may work as he has heard users using this repeater with their Gigaset setups. There is no 100 percent confirmation on this however. In theory, it should work, DECT signalling is standard across the board. If you want to try it out, they are fairly cheap and can be found here:
