Does the Cisco SPA range of phones work with CallManager/CME?

  • 772

I have about 15 phones and am looking to upgrade from asterisk to an all Cisco solution. Do we need to replace the phones as well?

cisco asterisk linksys call-manager

  1. I'm not entirely sure. Cisco would be the first port of call if it were me trying to answer it. The actual point is that you probably should replace the phones too, and go for an all cisco solution. That way you can guarantee with more certainty that any problems you have will be supportable by your vendor.

    Yes, replace the phones. If you don't, it'll come back and bite you in the ass later on.

    We have Linksys Phones SPA941 working perfectly with CISCO CME. You might not need to replace the phones.

  3. Actually thinking about it, I believe the 99xx phones are Callmanager but SIP only.

    However the SPA's aren't supported and Call Manager will not be able to generate the correct xml provisioning files required.

    Even if they were manually created, this post seems to sound like it won't work anyway http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/VoIP-Phones/Registering-SPA-942-to-CallManager-Express/td-p/28596
