SIP trunking from a carrier is support by some carriers, ATT and Verizon at least, on the BCM450. Requires SIP licenses on the BCM 450 as well as configuration as specified by the carrier. ATT and Verizon both have documented the configuration needed by their service.

Both ATT and Verizon sell SIP trunk services that are support on BCM50. They are selling tons of these so it must work well.

I am not sure what the "digital sender" is but you do not need it to fax using CallPilot. If you have CallPilot with fax capabilities and mailboxes with desktop messaging and fax capability, all you need to do to send a fax is print a document. Whn the printer choice appear, choose the "Nortel...

Both of these features are keycode activated. You would need to contact your Nortel vendor to purchase the keycodes. Both features require a license for each mailbox with that feature. You will also need to purchase keycodes to "speech activate" some number of CallPilot ports.

Not possible with CallPilot 100/150. This can be done with CallPilot on CS1000 using the "messaging forwarding" feature

If the BCM 50 R2 is a 50E or 50A it will have a router built in that can act as a VPN appliance. You would not need a 1010 unless you need more tunnels than the 50 can support, 10 I think.

NDA information on CallPilot 5.0 is not yet available. I should be available in the next month or two as CP 5.0 is due the first of June. Frenche

CallPilot has a bulk add feature that uses a text file to input mailbox users. If you could export the information from the Octel to a text file, you may be able to use it to create users on CallPilot. Frenche

Nortel has a voice directory application that runs on it's Periphonics IVR's that does speech rec. Not cheap.

CallPilot has an application called Reporter. It needs to be installed on a seperate web. It can provide you with the type of reports you are talking about. The Reporter application in included with the CallPilot software, no extra charge. Frenche

MCDN is needed for centralized voice mail as well as other features such as CLID and CPND between sites and anti-tromboning. This is the case for both BCM to BCM or BCM to CS1000.

Try looking at the messaging forwarding rule feature in CallPilot 4.0. You can have messages in one mailbox forwarded to another mailbox.

BCM puts out raw data only. You need third party software for formated reports. Frenche

VoIP quaility depends on jitter, delay and packet loss. Good quaility voice needs <100 ms delay, ,<20 ms jitter and < 1% packet loss. If your WAN can deliver these parameters and you use QoS to prioritize voice, you can achive quaility voice. The type of WAN service does not matter if they can...
