I have a Cisco IP Phone model SPA504G. It's on the list of recommended IP phones: https://www.arednmesh.org/content/ip-phones-used-mesh
It works, it can receive phone calls at AREDN IP 10.3.51.101
Problem is, I can't figure out how to dial an AREDN IP address with the menus / keypad on the phone.
I've dug through the phone's web interface as well. There's some kind of phone book in there, but it doesn't seem to work.
Anyway, if anyone has a web resource or just knows the correct key sequence to dial by IP direct to another AREDN IP phone (no PBX, no SIP), I would greatly appreciate the help.

Go into the Personal Directory settings.
Add an entry like this:
n=A;p=10.88.207.114
Where n = the name of the directory entry
P= the IP address.
You can do this via the dial pad, but it's a real pain entering IP addresses that way.
Then from the keypad, select the Directory, select the entry and dial. Works great!

From what I am reading here, IP to IP calling is workable without a PBX?
I have my SPA-941 connected and my MikroTik (lite) assigned an IP address. And I have another phone enroute to another member (with an active node) that lives across town.
If this does work. My next shipment will go to our state EMCOM liaison.
After that, maybe a PBx.
