Setting up cisco ip phones at home.
I am looking to set up my home office and interested in getting a Cisco IP phone (like the Cisco 7940G IP Phone) to use on sipgate (SIP protocol). is it am simple as buying the Cisco phone over the net (thinking of buying this one from ebuyer: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/97297 ) , hooking up to my cable broadband router and configuring with sipgate, and away I go .... or do I have to buy anything special like expensive licenses, expensive power adapters, etc. I am pretty new to all this so advice with more experienced people within the world of IP telephony would be greatly appreciated (along with any recommnedations for a good multi SIP account IP phone).
Thanks
I would suggest a normal IP phone instead of high priced CISCO phone. Some phone available in market are easy to configure and you can use it any where (just need to key in IP, subnet mask and gateway, and probably DNS servers).. just find out if using IP phones the way you want to in your country is legal or not..
Can you use Cisco IP phones in a normal home office environment?
