Hi,

We have a single rack LDK-100, software version 2.2Fi (I think). I notice that from v3.x onwards this is referred to as ipLDK-100. Is this later firmware compatible and is it worth it to have it installed if we going to consider using the advanced voicemail card VMIBE??

If a firmware upgrade is possible is it wise/possible to jump directly to the latest??

Thanks in advance - I had a quick search of the forum but nothing came to light.

Jon.
 
Sorry to hear this:
"I had a quick search of the forum but nothing came to light."

With your LDK-100 running 2.2Fi, it is possible to use and install the VMIBE or VMIB2 or VMIB.

If your processorboard MPB/MPBE uses a daughter board (piggy bag) of the type PMU1/PMU2/PMU1E/PMU2E, then you cannot upgrade to ipLDK-100 version 3.8.
The upgrading to ipLDK-100 version 3.8 demands:
MPB/MPBE/MPBN as processor board and
ASMU1/ASMU2/ASMU1E/ASMU2E/ASMU1N/ASMU2N as daughter board.

What country are you in?

Thanks for the reply. I searched using the forum search which doesn't seem very good - I had more luck using the Google site search. I am in the UK.

I will investigate which daughter board is in the unit already.

Can you give me a short summary of the advantages of 3.8?? We are thinking of upgrading to use VM and Auto Attendant features to route inbound calls in a friendly way! If it is worth going to 3.8 then we may consider it.

Thanks

Jon.
 
From 2.2 to 3.8, you get H.323 and SIP - ip phones and ip trunk.
If you only use basic telephony, the s/w 2.2 is OK.

If you want to use the new keysets LDP-7000 and LDP-8000, you will have to upgrade.

Turns out I have the ASMU1E daughter board at present. I understand that this only allows us to have 1 rack but we have at least 3 slots free at the moment!

Thanks for your help. I'll ask to have the firmware upgraded when we have the VMIBE installed.

Thanks

Jon.
 
Yes. With your ASMU1E and MPBE you could as well upgrade to ipLDK-100 3.8 or 3.9 and all the new features.
