Maintenance for Performance Technologies SEGway
by scott＠socket.net May 17, 2017

May 17, 2017

We have been using a set of PTI SEGway x201s with point code emulation for a number of years now. We also have an unlicensed spare in stock. The maintenance contract renewals are due and the two quotes I've received are quite high. I know of at least one other company that has chosen to drop the vendor maintenance and take care of that in-house. I would like to hear from anyone that is currently using SEGways and find out what they chose to do for maintenance. I would also be very interested to hear of any bad experiences from chosing the in-house option. Thanks.

Technically, 1-to-5 and 2-to-4 is correct but either should work. The other way swaps tip and ring which won't make a difference in this or most applications. Odd-numbered pins are tip, even are ring. Mostly white conductors with color stripes should go the odd pins (tip). -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV

Key System Using Polycom VVX
by colton.conor＠gmail.com April 14, 2015

April 14, 2015

Can anyone recommend an onsite IP PBX that fully supports the Polycom VVX series of phones? When I say support I mean auto configure, do firmware updates, etc...I know most all IP PBX's will at least be able to use the VVX as a SIP extension. The clients wants to emulate a key system. The IP PBX should support SIP trunks of course for connection to the PSTN. The client also wants the ability to use a local MoH source, paging, and other common key system features that hosted systems don't do very well. I was thinking switchvox, but they don't have phone feature packs for the VVX line only the older phones. Adtran has the 7060, but according to the latest release notes: ADTRAN branded VVX phones (model names ADTRAN VVX 300, ADTRAN VVX 310, ADTRAN VVX 400, ADTRAN VVX 410, ADTRAN VVX 500, and ADTRAN VVX 600) work with NetVanta 7000 series AOS release version R10.8.0 and beyond without requiring an additional license key purchase. The equivalent Polycom branded phones will not work with release R10.8.0. If you are currently using the equivalent Polycom branded phones with the NetVanta 7000 series, you will need to either remain on a pre-R10.8 release version or use the ADTRAN branded version of the VVX phones until a licensing mechanism can be added to allow the use of Polycom branded VVX models. Looks like that won't be a good option since the client already has regular Polycom VVX phones not the ones with Adtran's badge on them. Any recommendations?

Looking for whitelabel IPTV provider
by matthew＠corp.crocker.com Nov. 19, 2014

Nov. 19, 2014

Hello, I have an opportunity to deliver FTTH to about 800 homes in local small town. I?m looking for someone to provide TV service to the residents (RF overlay or IPTV). Does anyone know of a white label provider that can deliver service in Massachusetts? I can pick it up in Boston (1 Summer, 230 Congress or 300 Bent). 800 homes is not enough for me to justify building my own head-end, hoping I can wholesale off someone else?s head end.

CPE side Passive Monitoring
by Kris.Alberts＠is.co.za Nov. 11, 2014

Nov. 11, 2014

Hi Looking for a cost effective, easily deployed, useful passive monitoring probe to be deployed at the customer prem for voip traffic monitoring. My main objective is to reduce MTTR and provide a clear demarcation service for customers that supplies their own LAN. We use a variety of CPE device (primarily Cisco though) so I will need to find an external hardware probe that caters for all use cases. There seems to be a variety of solutions available so was hoping you could share you experience on some of the solutions that you are using. I really need to understand the extent to which the added visibility optimised your product in terms of better support, fewer truck rolls etc. All of these listed products claims to do just that. Solutions that come to mind includes: Prognosis, Telchemy, Broadsoft PacketSmart, Flukenetworks and Appneta Pathview. I need to evaluate in the lines of : * Effectiveness as a demarcation service. * Easy of deployment (hosted, SaaS model). * Probe and licensing costing. * Support portal granular stats in order to reduce MTTR. Thanks Kris

I'm connecting a Adtran 904 to a Shoretel system for a voice only PRI. Am I correct that a cross-over cable is needed and not a straight thru cable? The IT vendor and I are having a small disagreement.

Vitelity Portal and API Down
by beckman＠angryox.com Oct. 31, 2014

Oct. 31, 2014

I noticed that at 7:48am EDT to 7:53am EDT, the Vitelity Portal and API became unavailable, then back up, then back down again at 7:57am and is still down. This outage is not affecting calls. The emergency contact information I have isn't reaching anyone. Does anyone have a method to reach Vitelity in an outage?

TRS service in Michigan
by collin.rose＠corp.daystarr.net Oct. 31, 2014

Oct. 31, 2014

In Michigan, AT&T is withdrawing TRS service as an offering early next year. Each provider will be responsible to make their own arrangements for TRS. Establishing a direct agreement with one of the national TRS providers seems to be quite expensive. Is anyone able to offer this service to us ?
