Call Pilot and DR5 1

[jsaad]

I'm told the Call pilot 100 does in fact work with the
DR5 DS 6x16 and Modular 8x24 contrary to the manuals saying that you need at least 4.1 on a CICS or MICS.

Has anyone tried it yet. Results?

Heard the same thing.....but had no luck on an 8x24

I used to have R3.0 in my MICS test system, but when I tried to connect a CallPilot it would not finish booting up. I had connected HyperTerminal so I could watch the boot sequence, and it stopped at the point that the CallPilot detected the software version of the MICS. I upgraded the MICS to R6.1 and the CallPilot booted normally. I'll try a CallPilot on a DR5 system when I have some time next week and report back.

My Call Pilot would not boot on a CICS with 4.0

I installed a Call Pilot 100 to a 8/24, DR5 software and it worked fine. I have not had a problem yet, and it was installed back in March.

i have one working on a CICS 4.0. but i have a prospect with an 8x24 DR5 DS and we're just trying to be economical so we do not have to dump the 8x24 and replace it with a MICS

I tried a CallPilot on a 616 DR5-DS and it did boot up all the way. I was able to configure the voicemail. So it appears that it will work, but I wouldn't guarantee that there would not be some transfer issues with the 616.

Actually - the MANUAL on the CD says that the Call Pilot will work on a MICS or CICS with 4.1 or greater AND 3X8 with DR5.1 software.

It only says 3X8, but I guess 6X16 and 8X24 with 5.1 would be close enough???

Then it appears that if a 308, 616 or 824 has a high enough version of DR5 it WILL work with a CallPilot. This is good to know as the Startalk Flash is starting to get harder to find, especially a Flash 4.
