At work we have several sites with IP phones being managed by our NEC 2400 IPX. We are howver considering moving to a platform based IP phone system for some of our remotes site.
My question, the first of many no doubt, is this. Are are current phones compatible with Asterisk? Presently the IP phones that we use are “NEC ITR Determ IP phones” (-3 Desplay, I think).
Thanks

googling for that term doesn’t turn up much, can you post the model number from the underside.
unless the phone uses a protocol available to Asterisk you’ll not be able to connect them directly, but you’ll probably be able to connect your old systel to Asterisk (although not a route i would ever choose)
The phone is a NEC Determ IP, ITR-16D-3. Stock # 780028
Looking on the net I found this.

like a dog in the street !!
protims is NEC stuff, no support for it in Asterisk. it might be worth having a search … maybe somewhere there’s an upgrade to SIP ???
one other idea- program the existing pbx as nothing but a phone-T1 interface (make it ‘dumb’) and wire it up to * using PRI spans. This will let you use your existing phones for the time being, just replace them with IP phones as you go.
