Beocom 6000 phones and VOIP

15 replies

I have been trying to set up my Beocom 6000 DECT network with VOIP using a Cisco adapter. While the setup works with a single analogue telephone, I can get neither dial tone or ringing on my Beocom set. I've tried using a single Become and no joy. Has anyone had success in doing this, or is time to say farewell to these lovely phones?

Hi and welcome to Beoworld.

I am not sure what the problem is here. Most VOIP adapters will accept a 'normal phone' plugged into them using an RJ11 socket.  The fact that the BC6000 is digital (DECT) should make no difference.  Have you tried different cables, in case there is a fault there?

Thanks Guy. yes, I've tried various cables and pretty much all combinations. The DECT point is that there are four phones on the system and require a certain voltage for them all to ring and I thought that might be the issue. So I tried a single phone, two, three and four with no joy. As mentioned, I can get this to work on a 'normal' phone so the hardware seems fine. I was wondering if anyone had successfully managed to hook the Beocom 6000 up to a VOIP system. If they have, at least I know it's achievable and will continue my quest.

Which DECT Base do you use?

Hi - I did manage it at one point - I have the seperate older DECT thingy and it just pluggd into the analogue port on the VOIP Adaptor - the problem I had was with the provider so I went back to a landline to keep the phones. So yes, there is no reason why it shouldn't work.
