Alcatel-Lucent 8028s with freePBX?

[stylo323]

Hello,
Is there a way I can use this set with freePBX? I have 10 of those phones currently running on Alcatel omnipcx, but next week I have to migrate all numbers to asterisk, so I would like to know if I can somehow connect them to asterisk.

We’re in the process of migrating over from Alcatel to FreePBX. There are several different models in our inventory including 8028s. I have not had luck getting it set up with FreePBX. The only one I could get to work (though capabilities were limited compared to setting it up in the Alcatel system) was the IPTouch 4018EE model. It definitely was not an easy undertaking to get the 4018 set up. I’ve tried with the 8018, which is closer to the 8028s, but no dice there yet.

I will say it’s been a while since I tried with the 8028 and 8028s. I might try again to see if I can get it, but I think our plan is to get phones that are compatible with FreePBX and replace our inventory.

This is a config file you’d need to follow the format of to get started with the 4018. You might be able to play around with it to get it working for 8028s.

You’d also need the binary files for the model. We use OmniVista 8770 and I got the binaries through WinSCP.

That’s a shame… What problems did you encounter when you tried to get the 8028s working?
