Zultys phones
- Company web site: http://www.zultys.com/
VOIP phones, media gateways and softphones.
Their LIPZ4 Linux softphone is free.
How to configure Asterisk for LIPZ4 1.3.11
The cheap (?) ZIP 2 phone ($100) comes without any display, but all other typical features like speakerphone (not full duplex!), voicemail indicator, hold, conference, transfer. STUN and UPnP support for operating the phone behind NAT is apparently provided as well (documentation error on the Zultys web site?). Paging support is available it seems (= announcement through the speaker).
Next to a display, instant messaging and a 4-port switch the ZIP 4x4 ($350) includes encryption, a feature rarely found in IP phones. However STUN, UPnP and voice compression are missing (g.711 codec only). From their web site:
- Does the ZIP 4x4 support voice encryption?
- Yes. The ZIP 4x4 can use RTP Secure and AES encryption to transport voice traffic in a secure manner. Users can engage this function before or during a call by pressing the Encrypt button on the phone."
A test report for the 4x4 can be found here:

333Zultys 4x4 VLAN problem
Don't bet on Zultys fixing this — it's probably burned into the hardware and unfixable.
By contrast, the newer 2x2 series does VLAN tagging and untagging correctly.
333Re: 4X4 - Sort Of...
Zultys phones will only accept numbers for a secret. Letters and other alphanumerics won't work.
3334X4 - Sort Of...
The only way I can get them to register is by not using a secret in sip.conf.
I can't get it to pull it's cfg file from the tftp server, still working on that bit.
