MCD 4 or 3300 Ver 10

Anyone tried out the new software yet?

Hi fissure,
Can't see any reference to HX and I have never heard of it (doesn't mean a lot).
;>)

You can't believe anything you read... unless of course it's this.

HX platform will (for now anyways) be only available to VARs who market the 5000 CP platform.

Reference MOL and documents that show road maps from the Mitel Forum 2009.

Thanks Mitelguy,
We've opted out of the 3000/5000 (Inter-Tel) so far.
Never say never though...
We ran the numbers and for our smaller SMB customers there was no monetary advantage to do that over our other existing line of product.

To Irwin and tlpeter, yup... Gateways gateways... To me it will be much more comfy using familiar Mitel product rather than using Dialogic and such. We recieved a Dialogic SIP to ONS gateway for another product/test. Wow... another bizarre learning curve... Didn't really like it at all.

Folks, we have no choice with the way this market is headed. For those of us that continue to sell phones and "PBXes" our day is almost over - and Avaya is going to mess that up for us.

We have no choice but to make our money on services and software licensing.

I would encourage all VARs to learn as much about data switching/routing as possible - the ones that can install Mitel software and applications in a highly skilled field (really the data world) will be the only ones that survive.

Trust me - AVAYA IS GOING TO EAT OUR LUNCH. Just like the fat lady at the buffet, make sure you get up there first and learn where the good stuff is at and take it!

 

[Canuckvoip]

Well said Mitelguy,

Couldn't agree more. Gonna start a new thread regarding MSP (Managed service providers).

Would LOVE your guys opinion on my "own the LAN" thread!!!!!

I do Avaya too and they still also need gateways but from the latest release the gateway is not needed anymore for ipphone to register to
It is a bit the same situation

I see it like computers
Some use citrix or thin clients but there will be company's who do not like that and will use a normal pc

It is just a step forward (or back if you like) and we need to keep on track so learning is the only way

Hi nytalkin, regarding:

"Upgraded one system yesterday from 9.0.0.41 to MCD4.0. One problem with IP trunking; couldn't put calls on hold or transfer. Product support found opton DPNSS_EARLY was disabled. Unable to re-enable through ESM but was able to go through CLI to turn it back on."

Do you recall how you checked this/resolved it via the CLI?
(we think we might have a similar issue)

Out of interest, has anyone else encountered this?

 

[nytalkin]

MODIFY DPNSS select from menu ALL or INDIVIDUAL if unable to change in ESM Telnet to CLI and issue command.

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!

 

[fissure]

Sorry again nytalkin,

struggling to find where in the ESM I do this.

In online help, I do see reference to 'Modify DPNSS Services' but I can't find the actual form?

I also see 'MODIFY DPNSS SERVICES' references in the BRI NSU manual.

I see MSDN-DPNSS-DASSII Trunk Circuit Descriptor, but nothing in there about: DPNSS_EARLY



CCS SHOW DPNSS FEATURE STATUS
lists just one disabled:
EARLY_TX_CHAN_CONN

is that the one, and what is the command/syntax to change it via ESM Maintenance Commands/telnet?

Much obliged

 

[M1tel]

FYI i do not have any soecifics accept told by Mitel there are issues with SDS and MCD 4 to wait for ur1

 

[Webmany]

Did they say when ur1 is due?

 

[cknipe]

it was out yesterday...im looking on the downloads page and it show released as of 9/29/09. but this shows PR1....not sure if there is a difference between PR1 and UR1. maybe some of the vets can shed some light on that lingo.

 

[fissure]

note for anyone, struggling:

if I try to run the installer, after unzipping:
MCD_ICP_10.0.0.13_1_Disk1.zip / 4.0 PR1

and tell it to save the files to anywhere other than the default:
c:\inetpub\ftproot

I get:
Feature transfer error
Feature: Mitel Communications Director Files
Component:
File:
Error: Catastrophic failure

Same with anti-virus disabled

MD5 hash for my MCD_ICP_10.0.0.13_1_Disk1.zip is:
18ec4d07c7d904afe553f01a4a9d973f

(it would be nice if Mitel posted MD5 hashes for their downloads)

same installer works fine if I let it install to default dir, then copy across manually

I've always understood PR to be Patch Release (Fixes stuff but no new features) and UR to be Upgrade Release (Fixes stuff but also contains new features)

[SXWizard]

kwbMitel is correct. i.e. MCD 4.0 PR1 was released to support the CX(i) II platform and fix bugs.

 

[DomingoDolores]

So the first update of MCD 4.0 is available right? they call it SP1 now. It was available for downloading on the 29th of september: 10.0.0.13.

Imagination is more important than knowledge....

I recall seeing a tech note on the Knowledge Base, something about the new 5320 phones maybe still not working. Prolly not an issue unless you bought some 5320s

If you look at the release nots for 10.0.0.13, there are still issues with the 5320.
