Installer cut over the new 8100 to replace our IPKII. Sweet. We have another 8100 in Colorado that Doghart installed, and I pop into that switch from time to time for minor changes, manage queues, building tboxes and users in UM.
With this one, from the time between the IPKII backup and the cutover I had done alot of programming in the way of new DiD translations, new Tboxes, added a couple queues, etc. (the delay was due to the aforementioned bad batch of CF cards, we had to wait on a RMA)
So when the new switch got cut over it was kinda cool to go back and recreate those in a new switch and see the subtle differences. All in all the Web interface is not all that different than the IPKII version, alot of the same program numbers etc. The big difference of course being that I don't have to use OS2 to manage voicemail. That UM8000 web interface takes a little getting used to, everything's there...it's just not all in your face like EliteMail. Good and bad I suppose, when you're used to F5/F6 and PageUP/PageDown, it's 'hard' to start clicking.
enough on that, you guys install these all the time, they are nice little switches though.
So my question on this has to do with the Transaction Boxes, on my IPKII I could make the changes I needed then dial the virtual from any station to 'test' it. That doesn't work on this switch (perhaps by design) meaning I have test those boxes from the outside, not by virtual just hard dialing DID and letting the programming do it's deal.
Real PITA, making a subtle change then having to dial from my cell. I'm probably missing something simple, or maybe it's not possible.
Also, thanks Doghart for the heads up on the Desktop Suite, That was a pretty painless install and it works great, except now the boss is going to make everyone use it :scratch: . FYI they did have the 3.6.2 on NTAC, so they must have updated, i didn't use the FTP version and all seems well.
