The Polycom IP 320 is an amazing phone, doesnt have the dedicated RJ/headset port. In any case choosing a client environment that lowers your cost (like linux and diskless) and allows you to upgrade out of a softphone into a hardphone should be well worth the extra effort. Requiring less power on the server providing the environment. But otherwise you get local execution of a single shared environment. Lower numbers a bit on the client side mostly due to NFS, which can be tweaked to have more available connections. We are actually doing CentOS diskless clients (non LTSP diskless) using PXE. You can easily offset that portion by doing local firefox execution. The worry with LTSP is the load of firefox on the server (with multiple ajax clients running via LTSP). tbenson Posts: 116 Joined: Wed 8:41 pm Location: California 11 is actually our cutoff that we wont even do softphones unless they sign off on complete management of the issues with the softphones or go onto monthly management contract. The few extra dollars will make your deployment WELL worth it, especially at 10 seats or higher. Much more productivity then with softphones, and less issues. Going this route I would suggest getting a nicer headset though if you trying to keep costs low. We actually started doing diskless clients so we didnt have to worry about individual systems, and the price was enough lower then the dell to offset the cost of the phone and a very inexpensive headset. Unplug and replug 99% of the time resolves with the ocasional close and open of xten.Īll in all I would go with a cheaper system if possible, and then spend the money on a Polycom 320 ($95) and use a cordless phone headset. We have had a few issues with the /dev/dsp disapearing, but in many cases people thought they might have jerked the usb plug hard and somehow disconnected the usb signal. Thats why only 6 seats to 10 at MAX do we do a softphone. All in all you get a better call quality from the DSP-400 so we swapped.Īgain you WILL have ocasional issues with xlite registering and whatnot. Mainly because it was about the same cost for a decent soudcard one and the failure rate of soundcard was about that of the plantronics. We dont use the soundcard headsets because for $35 you can get the Plantronics DSP400 which is binaural DSP (Digital Signal Processing) for background noise reduction and the like. Xlite verison of xtensoftphone for linux. No OS installed even though they cost the same, but non transferable is non transferable.
