Hello
I just bought this USB VoIP phone
(http://www.a-link.com/avaks/images/items/upi1a.jpg), but I'm stuck at
how to actually use it (Windows2003 Server). Support is nothing more
than can be found at http://support.a-link.com/phonemate/IPU1.htm :
1. Plugged the phone into a USB port: Windows detects and installs a
"USB audio peripheral"
2. Launched X-Lite 3.0 (Build 30942) that I already had installed.
X-Lite registers with an Axon PBX sofware (free PBX for Windows).
3. Launched the X-TenMate (1.0.0.18) applet provided by ALink that
seems to be a middle-man between the USB phone and a VoIP application.
The phone changes from "VOIP-PHONE" to day + time + year.
But... the X-TenMate icon in the task bar changes from green to gray
and says ": "Can't find Software Phone", and I can't dial an extension
or receive a call. Does anyone know how to get this thingie to work?
Thank you!

Made some progress: Those *Mate utities are required for USB phones.
The one provided by A-Link is out of date. An updated can be found at
http://www.yealink.com/en/otherdown.asp which...
- will sort of work with X-Lite 3: I can receive a call, but not call
an extension, as it sends crappy numbers to the application :

Tried on another, more recent computer, same issue.
- won't work with EyeBeam 1.5.5.1: "Can't find software". Looks like
it won't work with EB 1.5 and above.
Anybody has a more recent version of X-TenMate or a work-around for
the crap characters issue?

Looking at <http://support.a-link.com/phonemate/IPU1.htm> I see that the
device, apparently, works with linux!? You're running forte, and, hence,
windows? Have you tried it with linux?

I don't use Linux on the client host, and I would be very surprized if
a cheap USB phone like that would have a driver for Linux. It's
basically a remote phone card that requires an applet to work with an
SIP application. Nothing like a real SIP phone.

It's rather odd. A-link wrote to me:

Dear Sir,
IPU1 and IPU2 can operate in Linux with any SIP software. You can make
calls with any SIP software in Linux, but IPU1 or IPU2 keybad do not =
work.
Only Skype for Linux have Skypemate software to enable keybad for
linux/Skype use.

Now, I think I'm also seeing the same "phone" at:
<http://pclee.idv.tw/peter/product_info.php?cPath=1_41&products_id=103&osCsid=f45628e3d6c648dd5364418e8abaf960>
<http://www.yealink.com/english/prodetail_p1k.htm>
But it's hard to know who the OEM is.
