5220 IP phone. Waiting for Comms 1

[Mitelpassion]

Anyone seen this issue where the IP phones boots and just "sits" on "WAITING FOR COMMS"?

Again this phone worked fine up till this morning?

Regards,

Bottom line for me is that I was able to fix my problems, all be it with a reboot.

This a potentially a huge customer for us here in SA.
I agree that the root of the problem is not necessaraly fixed but at least it will work until the next reboot

Take it from someone who has been around the clubhouse since MS2002/2 "Super" (G-Stream) and the era of the black boxes, it's all relative my friend ;-)

We have as many or more open DPARs today in LW34 as we had back in 1986 with G stream.
Lots more world class features, you bet, but with each new pass of code it seems we have a tendancy to trample our code and break things in the process.
Not quite as bad as the proverbial bull in the china shop, but seldom does a new load appear which in some small way hasn't inadvertently clobbered something that was working fine in a prior load - occasionally something with high visibility.

Thus the question for today class, "is there really such a thing as perfect software?"

everything had already been programmed and working for a while. i don't know maybe the power went out or something.

Perfect software? Never. Not on PC's not on anything. Even software on non volitaile memmory is not immune to bugs and errors.

My logic. There is no way on this planet than any research and development team can test and "use" their new software covering all the possible scenarios, that we as the "users" do. Only until we have pointed out 98% of the problems/bugs will they be able to fix it.

And as some of you have clearly said, with new software comes never problems. Something (software) can't fail if it hasn't been designed (written) yet.

Just my few cents wort ;-)
