Use Asterisk or SIP Phone for VoIP application with Spark and Cisco IP phone?

Openfire Openfire Support

Hello,

I would like to know what are the main differences between Asterisk and SIP in OpenFire.

I already tested Openfire & Spark with SIP phone, and is working. I am wondering if Asterisk is better for VoIP applications.

Later on I would like to make a “connection” betwen my OpenFife server and a Cisco IP Phone 7945G (connected to the company phone system).

Actually, I would like to be able to call from Spark (or other) client from PC to a Cisco IP phone connected to the company phone system.

Thank you,

Here is what I remember (since I am not using any more these tools):

-Installed Openfire on Debian (can be Windows also) on PC1 Server

-Created Users using Openfire admin web page from PC1 (http://127.0.0.1:9090).

-Then installed Spark client on Windows PC2 & PC3 (login as user); Installed SIP phone addon for Spark (and used mic and pc speakers).

First test the chat betwen PC2 & PC3 then move to audio testing.

This solution is good to be implemented if you need to have your own server, if no, just use Skype.
