Does this work with household desk phone non-pbx? How does it connect - data port, or 2.5mm, or?

Yes, it works with a non-pbx desk phone and connects with a regular phone cord (I presume that is a 2.5mm)

It should be fine. FreePBX is an Asterisk based IP platform I believe, and as such talks standard SIP. The Polycom Soundstation IP5000 is also a fully SIP capable phone, so it will work just fine. Only a few proprietary phone systems extend SIP in such a way that third party phones may not work (Mitel leaps to mind).Rubin

Haven't tried it but the USB line inside the dock is a straight pass-thru. Should be the same as if you used a USB extension cable with your SlimPort adapter to connect to the phone. I took mine apart when I got it and added fishing weights to give it some mass so it wouldn't slide on the desk. There is nothing inside except the short extension cable, no board, or chips that would interfere with the signal. Good Luck.

The connector is ultra mini. Smaller than the connector needed for a smartphone. For VoIP you will be better off with a product that has a two pronged audio in and out or USB connector.

Yes, this can be used with any type of phone system. It works best with desksets that have a headphone jack and control from the keypad. But it will work with a regular phone as well but you have to go off hook with it. I use it with my VOIP system, my cell phone (via bluetooth) AND my computer with various dial programs and GoToMeeting.

Not sure but you would use a 3.5mm adapter for a cellphone, 2.5mm is for wireless or fixed desk phones

It will allow you to plug a land line phone (RJ11) into an Ethernet computer (RJ45) port, yes. However, the dial tone is generated by a phone system (a pbx) and not an ethernet switch (which is usually where an ethernet port is connected to). If you want the outlet to work with your phone, you need to connect (patch) the outlet to the phone system.

I am currently using an NEC networked phone. It works best with a multifunction business phone. I bought one of these hands free headsets for a family member, but they had to buy a more expensive phone to use it.

Bonnie, that will depend on the hardware available with your corded desk phone. This headset requires a headphone "jack". Most desksets utilize a variation of the standard 4-wire handset cord to connect the phone base unit to a headset base unit, into which both the headset and handset are then plugged. This will not work for that arrangement. The jack is either 2.5mm or 3.5mm (I don't have it here with me at work) and so requires that type of receiver socket in the phone. I use this on my wireless phone at home, but I discovered that the jack is too small to work with my cell phone. Hope this helps.

No; while it's not a USB plug, it is a home stereo dual plug (one for audio, one for speakers). It's designed for home computers, not telephones.

The device I use this with has a 2.5 mm plug. So this is correct for me. Your needs may be different.

I'm not sure, sorry. I'm using it with an Avaya office phone, so it's a pretty specific connector.

The port is standard for a flip phone. I notice that the charger for the old phone I was replacing would also work with this one.

No, it says that it can "Convert standard 2.5mm phone headset plug to 3.5mm plug". So the female connector can receive a 2.5 plug and the male plug is 3.5mm. I use it to convert a Plantronics headset from a land line cordless phone for use with a cell smartphone.

Don't think which service you use matters, as long as you have a standard 2.5mm port to plug into on your phone.

I connect this adapter to a device with two jacks. I connect one to one phone and connect the other to my wall jack. After that every phones in the house that connect to the wall jacks can work.

U don't use it with the phone. U need the adapter to move data between the computer and device.
