Mitel and Cisco are they made for each other?

[propes]

Hi

Can someone tell me if Cisco and Mitel telephone systems work together in the same company network?

If someone can let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

We've done it on different VLANS.
So it does work.
But.....
Cisco = featureless phone.

So much better with a 53xx phone.

Thank you very much.

Do you know if it would work with one side (Cisco) with 4 digit numbering and the otherside (Mitel) with 5 digit numbering.

How would this translate in the telephone network?

We tied them together via QSIG. Doing it that way you can program any digit string needed. (generally)

You need to have some type of trunking between the two platforms. This can be either SIP trunks, QSig trunks or straight PRI. You would need ARS ( automatic route selection ) programming to route the calls between the different phone systems. It will not matter if one system uses 4 digital extension numbers and the other 5.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.

dependant on what you are looking to achieve / the hardware you have .... if all users are on the same site you could use a netvitesse gateway to register the cisco phones as SIP devices with the 3300.

I have had success with SIP trunks between the two systems

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!
