Anybody working on this product?

 

[Trotski]

Do you mean Samsung ? What model?

 

[SYQUEST]

What is a SASMUNG?? Is that a new type of interface??

 

[1gizma]

Yep, was typing Samsung..fat fingers and thumbs! LOL Was looking at the site and didn't see that product listed

 

[Trotski]

Lots of Samsug Systems around, they're just not very good(that will upset a few people)

 

[1gizma]

LOL everybody has their own ideas. That's why we have so many choices. I think if you get the right people involved you will have a good system which ever you choose. I do know that Samsung has a very strong IP networking system. Not that I am throwing you under the bus but what are you referring to when you say "not very good"? Their older systems were hard to work on and not very flexable but that has changed. As you can tell, I do some work on the product and have found that their new stuff (100, 500, 7200 & 7400) all seem to be good stable boxes. I don't like the system management tool they have for the 7400, it's a dog. They are coming out with an installation tool to make that software easier to work on but all systems will let you program via the phone.

I mainly deal with Panasonic, but we have a few older Samsug systems to maintain, I just don't like them

I haven't worked on much of the Panasonic but is seems to be pretty easy so far. You are 100% correct on the old stuff. I almost rather take a beating...

Just going on how the program interface is to use (and in 25years I have seen a few) I find that the Panasonic TDA is the easiest to use + the phones look a hell of a lot better than most of the others on the market.

I too chuckled about Sasmung.

The very early Prostars were a bit of a pain.
The DCS and Compacts are a Dream to Work on.
The IP stuff is pretty solid.

Everybody usually likes what they are working on, LATELY.

In 35 years of Private Interconnect, TIE in '73, Rolms, Toshibas etc.
I actually have regarded the Samsung DCS as one of my favorites.
Norstar I find a huge pain to navigate, least...AT&T.
Who doesn't like wiring up 1A2 ?

BUT, that is because I do more Samsung, lately.
Lots of Norstar, rarely AT&T. See the correlation?
Never formally trained on anything (except Rolm).
Oh and Turrets

Sh*t, I am now that "old timer"

 

[Dexman]

I'd say that Nortel & Avaya/Lucent/AT&T are still the most common traditional KEY/PBX systems out in the field.

If it ain't broke, I haven't fixed it yet.

Ahhhh, another old Rolm tech here too! Started with them in 1981 after tour with Uncle Sam. They were the cream of the suppliers back then. Then came IBM...and Siemens. I made it 22 years before a layoff got me. The Samsung took some time to get used to but it's not bad. Like you said, their IP is solid.
