atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums Other TDM Phone Systems ESI Telephones & Systems accessing Vm with a i-phone

have a customer with a cs 600. When he calls in to access his VM on his I-Phone it kicks him to one of the fax server ports. i have tried it with my touch screen phone (non-i-phone) and i get in fine. i have tried it with his phone and always have the same result, fax server. i thought i would ask here before i go to tech support.
Has anyone here done the master tech program and if so any feed back on it (may be a installer topic)

This won't help fix the problem, but have you tried to call his I phone from the cs 600, then press the voicemail key to put him into the auto attendant? If this works I wonder if the I- phone has a feature for outbound calls causing this that can be disabled from the phone

I have not been to the Master Tech class, but here it is great.

Have you tried having someone else with an i-phone calling in to determine if it is i-phone or just that specific i-phone?

I think we need a member with an i-phone attempt this by dialing in and changing the day/night mode as a test.

We have employees with I-Phones and we also have a CS-600 in our office, I don't know that anyone has trouble getting VM remotely.

Also, Winetech: My Operations Manager/Senior Tech was one of the 6 that went through the first Master Tech class (AircomKC from the board was in the same class fyi), I'll have him shoot you an email on the class (you're correct it's not a subject for an open forum) but I can tell you that he was top notch as far as ESI knowledge goes and he said he learned a lot!

Grinder i will have to try that.
next time i am there i will call into my office to access my VM.
thank you for the quick responses that's (and you Guys)what makes this forum ROCK

The MT Class is very well worth the trip! PM me if you have any questions.

If you can replicate the issue, call TS (Or any MT). They can monitor button entry or call flow to see why it is getting kicked to the fax server.

I had a customer using a Verizon Voyager with a similar problem. When they would dial in, the password would never work. It ended up that the DTMF tones didn't correspond to the key pressed.

Long story short, Verizon had a software / firmware patch for the phone. After the cell phone was upgraded it worked great.

have you monitored the incoming line when the iphone calls in? This would tell you a lot about what the iphone is sending, if anything. Are you shure it sends him to fax port and not the internal modem?

I use an iPhone. I'll be glad to call in if you need me to.

On another thought, I'm NOT an ESI tech so I may be way off base here, but could it be an entry in a call routing table that is recognizing the incoming CID and transferring it to the fax? The iPhone has a soft switch to turn off the outgoing CID if you wanted to test the theory. You may have per call call blocking in your state as well, but here in Texas our codes don't work very well with the iPhone. For instance if you have per line call blocking on your phone like I do, the *82 code won't work for unblocking. You have to use *31#. :shrug: I only mention that as it could be relevant if you start trying to troubleshoot it being a CRT issue.

Also, is he dialing from an incorrect speed dial enrty in his I-phone? Has he manually dialed the call? Could he be accidentally dialing a DID point to the fax server?
