Interesting as all this may be, phoneguy610 has illustrated the basic point here. There isn't enough bandwidth - yet, and at reasonable cost to most consumers. There's the battle of the future, bandwidth. Once you deliver that reliably, the apps will follow. So far, this is not the case...

Hi Matt, I think you called it there. Like, what kind of a response did hostedtelephone expect anyway? Like the vast majority of us here, job security isn't a worry. I don't get upset about that at all. I just become annoyed with a vendor who only knows how to sell on price and half truths...

Hi kholladay, Yes. That has been my #1 go to tool for years now. I just love this one, and you can set it to only look for a certain port, which cuts down the list. I'm going to download the newest, since mine is a good 5 years old at at least now! -Chris

Hi dzussy, Where did you get to with your hunting phones? That was easy for me to answer, but your next question is beyond me. I still have to finish these courses. As for DHCP, that's risky I think. Just about any device can grab a DHCP served address, and it doesn't have to be a phone...

Hi hostedtelephone, Gee, I thought I was dealing with a connectivity professional. Silly me, I completely forgot to look at your job designation. Programmer. That says it all really as your responses are exactly what I here from those same disconnected IT pros. I'd say you're at least a...

Hi hostedtelephone, Ahhh, business. Now there is a topic I know extremely well. A business is there to serve it's customer base and provide assistance in selecting the best solution for it's customers. It's not an extremely difficult concept to understand, but I see so many people getting...

Hi hostedtelephone, We sell this solution, it is not acceptable for any high reliability applications. The "tin on the wall" is actually highly reliable. Hardware for better systems will run 15 ~ 20 years with few problems. How long does the average PC run? If your outside connectivity goes...

Hi hurstolds307, But since you posted the question ... There are memory backup batteries in most phone switches, computers and voice mail hardware. The most common type of information storage used was hard drive, but the "Flash" voice mail was ... you guessed it, flash memory. Information...

Hi dzussy, You didn't mention if you assigned iP addresses or not. Personally, I'd rather not roll that DHCP dice. I tend to nail everything down as much as possible. This network here only has about 4 DHCP addresses to play with. Me happy, most things work great. Phone start-up after power...

Hi, Guys, thank you. It has been a heck of a long road back so far, but I'll get there. This is the official third attempt at coming back. At least they are giving me training to be current with the world. That's where I've been the last couple days. It is tiring. Problems going forward...

Hi All, It's been almost 7 years since I was taken out on the road returning from a job. Just trying to get back at it now. I lost my iP Office certification, so now it's time to be re-certified. Thank goodness insurance will cover the courses. It was a bad accident - everyone who drives...

Hi sos2715, Now you have confused me completely. What do you mean? -Chris

Hi All, I did get the PM VS R5 working properly. It is necessary to use an ACS R3 to R6 to flash the voice mail unit. With the R2, the voice mail appeared to accept the program, and did report the correct revision level. I did use an ACS R4 to re-flash the voice mail. There was no problem...

Hi All, I think this (5.021) is a bust. I have tried everything and it's still a no go. Tried every slot in the cabinet (filling empties with 206 cards). I'll let you know what Avaya has to say next. I am waiting for tech support to return my call. -Chris

Hi tbw, The current release level for PM VS 5 is 5.021. Since we are in Canada, we did not get the 5.016 upgrade card. I liked it better when we were direct with Avaya. All, The voice mail accepted the upgrade, but the ACS R7 still does not recognise the unit. Now I am told to install a...
