I have made life very difficult. I was ready to drop the SPA as well and
then I loaded SipXecs 4.6 and found that templates have been added for them
and decided to give them another try. I have spent many hours between the
two in the last couple of weeks and would like to be able to give back to
the forum.

Just because the templates are there doesn't mean they are maintained. They
might have worked for whoever initiated the template for the way they were
using it.

I have always found Polycom to give the most predictable results and have
mixed feeling about certain ATA's and gateways in general.

I have centered around a "need for compatibility" using some gateway
products that meet our needs (plain analog calls, no features but also fax
(via t.38) compliant.

Everyone's need is different, but if you get to the point where you have
defined the use case and feature sets, you will get lots of opinions on
here from people who actually deploy and use the stuff they are suggesting
you to use.

I don't know who maintains the SPA templates. I don't know what features
are purported to work properly (or at all).

The SPA 504 templates were donated by two developers, and introduced in 4.4
A later email I had read from one of the developers indicated there were
issues, and they were not going to address them because each Cisco release
made changes that created a moving target.



I do have a customer that is running on older SPA942 phones. They have
their quirks, but work for the customer for the most part.



I did manually create a 504G template and have it downloading and working
from sipxecs well.



Have you tried configuring it from the web interface, and not with the
template in sipxecs? You might have better luck.

In our lab testing we have found that the Cisco SPA phones do not implement
RFC 4235 which is required for presence to work properly. When the sipXecs
server attempts to subscribe to the phone for presence information, the
phone returns a "501 Not Implemented" error message.

Until this is resolved by Cisco presence will never work on these phones.
