Cisco IP Phone as an endpoint?

(1/2) > >>

ewalker3:
Can a Cisco 7940 or 7960 be used as an endpoint to connect to the obi110 and access googlevoice?

Thanks.

RonR:
Quite possibly:

Grandstream GXP2000 and OBi100

yhfung:
May be we can use the HTTP Authentication method to connect the OBi110 and the Cisco IP Phone.

YH,

can you elaborate on "HTTP Authentication method"? I have an Cisco 7906, however, I am using is as a standalone SIP phone, have been wondering how to connect it to obi and what would be the advantage

Stewart:
Unfortunately, OBi HTTP authentication works only on the ObiTALK protocol, which the Cisco phones can't speak.  However, if the phones and Obi are on the same LAN, you shouldn't need authentication, provided that the ports involved are not open to the Internet.  If your router can't ensure that, you can gain some security by using an obscure port and a long pseudo-random user name.

Uses for such a setup:

1. If you have a POTS line or a locked service that offers a POTS interface (cable, fiber or VDSL voice, Vonage, etc.), the OBi enables you to use IP phones with those services.

2. You can use IP phones with Google Voice and/or the OBiTALK network.

3. You can use IP phones with Dock-N-Talk or similar.

4. If you have a SIP service that does not support multiple registrations, OBi permits you to ring multiple phones and have concurrent incoming calls.
