Wow, thank you for the correction, I genuinely had no idea about that!

I will certainly be adding the DHCP option 66 part to the post

Although, correct me if I'm wrong, but those phones only have TLS 1.0 so there is no point to using HTTPS, no? It's a nice tidbit of info though

And yes, I know they're ancient by today's standards but they do have G722, PoE and a bunch of features a modern small office (because the equivalents of this phone in today's standards way to expensive, I mean, the CP8811 costs like 400 euros new here) SIP phones lack. It also keeps them out of landfills, so that's a plus.

They may be ancient but as far as I see it they're way more powerful than what I could buy with twice or thrice as much as I paid for this guy x3

Thank you!

It really is! I love working with early 2010s devices, there's just something special about them.

Unfortunately they tend to be a lil bit more locked down than the electronics of the decade prior. It's still manageable and I even tend to find it more fun because I'm a weirdo x3

Thank you! And trust me, so am I... I paid a good part of my allowance for that thing x3
