Good Luck!

Can you point me to a blog post showing how to obtain or creat a 12xx.cfg config file.

Thanks.

As I’m sure you know by now Cisco SIP, and Avaya SIP and Nortel SIP and Siemens SIP are all really different standards. And don’t really interoperate well. So just because an IP phone says it’s SIP compatible doesn’t really mean much these days.

The only way you’ll know what works (or doesn’t) for sure is to test an Avaya 1230 IP phone with your Asterisk solution.

Avaya only supports utilizing their Call Server products with their IP phones, not much different from any other vendor out there. Just because the manufacturer doesn’t support it doesn’t mean it won’t work though.

Good Luck!

I am currently running a Hosted PBX server (Asterisk based) I have a potential customer with about 100 i1230 phones on a BCM450, the customer would like to move to our hosted solution, would it make sense to upgrade the 1230′s to SIP firmware for this reason?
(I’m a little worried because in the documentation it appears the SIP firmware is intended for the:
Avaya IP Office R8.0 (1220, 1230, 1120E, 1140E IP Deskphones only)
• Avaya CS1000 R7.0 and 7.5.
• Avaya CS2100 SE13
• Avaya Aura® Communications Manager 6.0
• Avaya Aura® Session Manager 6.0

I’m kinda looking for this to work jut like a polycom or Aastra SIP-phone etc.

please let me know thanks much.

You can find the firmware on the Avaya Support website;

http://support.avaya.com/css/appmanager/public/support/Downloads/P0600/SIP%204.x

Just click on Downloads (left side) and then enter “1200 Series IP Deskphones” and then select which SIP firmware you want from the dropdown box.

Good Luck!

I am wondering if you have available the SIP Firmware for the nortel 1200 phones
we have 12 nortel 1210 and 5 nortel 1230 and recently we ran out of lines on our BCM 50 we are upgrading to another platform but would like to keep the phones as they are excellent phones.

I have been looking for the SIP FIRMWARE on the nortel website but i just can’t get to the menu that you described above it never appears for me so i cannot download the file. Can you please if you still have it available or have the direct link to where i can get it send it to me please.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

My question is in regards to a power supply for a 1220 I obtained on ebay. The phone doesn’t come with an AC adapter, but I have an extra power supply left over from a Cisco IP phone, that does power up my 11xx/12xx phones.

I want to make sure that it is an acceptable power source before I use the power supply permanently.

Its a Input: 100-240V-500mA 50-60HzOutput: 48V—200 mA LPSSays it is “for use with information technology” equipment.

Does you know if this acceptable for the 11xx/12xx phones? Thank you,

Have a look at this post.

Good Luck!

Your question isn’t really on-topic but that doesn’t usually stop me from replying. If you have a configuration cradle and the Handset Administration Tool (HAT) you might be able to download the configuration, blank the password and then upload that new configuration to the handset. If you don’t have the configuration cradle then (I believe) your old option is to RMA the phone to Avaya for repair.

Good Luck!
