Cordless phones on 6X

[bigbangtech]

I've connected a cordless phone to a customer's Allworx 6x as a generic sip handset using a Grandstream HT701 and I can place and receive calls. I have several questions:

1) It looks like the HT701 adapter allows you to transfer calls by pressing *87, then "dial number" and press #
a) If I dial *87 then >Allworx Extension< then #, will this transfer to the Allworx Extension that was dialed?
b) Is there any code that Allworx 6x listens to, and parks the call? (Since this cordless handset has no display or PFK's to program)


2) Has anyone had good luck getting cordless voip phones like the Snom M9 working with the Allworx?
a) Specifically - does the SM9 support multiple call appearances/lines?
Customer would like to be able to be on a cordless call, place them on hold and take another call.
b) Can the SM9 be configured to be able to park a call?

I have a HT701 but am testing it for fax purposes direct with ITSP. I might test with Allworx in the future, but don't have any info now.

My plan for mobility within the office is to use Allworx Reach on an iPhone (when available). It should have the extra functions like transfer, park, etc.
For office based employees that don't need a monthly plan I'm going to try using hand-me-down iPhones that have no cellular plan on them - WiFi within the office or at home only.

Does anyone have an idea how much the Allworx Reach software key is going to cost for the 6x?

I've heard in the $130-$150 range but don't quote me on that, nothing official yet. Also heard that Generic SIP will be chargeable with 7.5...

I have the Bria app by CounterPath on my iPhone which will work in wifi area or mobil phone.
