Anybody tested these phones? Trying to get the lowdown, seems pretty cool though!

eh. cool, maybe.

the phones work fine. Few problems though. There is no Direct voicemail transfer yet. There is not BLF, so there is no way of knowing if a user is on the phone. Yes, the initial setup is quick, but to actually get calls to go out and to a phone will take some programming.

One weird thing when I was setting a one-x up last wed. After we had all our incoming ringing group and a group for outgoing lines, we tested it, and everything was working just fine. Then we tried to make an outgoing call and couldn't get out. The groups we set up, had disappeared. So we couldn't call out.... got it fixed and all is still well...

I Went to the Avaya Boot camp in NJ and the Office IP crashed in the training room. Just remember, any IP or SIP aplication is based on internet traffic. The speed of any network is based on traffic. If you understand the traffic then any system should work if correctly managed. The majority of us don't understand the traffic and never will. The thinking today is that it's just going to work.

Today we have bandwith and multiple aplications running on a computer that changes the traffic or speed and the amount of users allowed locally or wide area.

The old way was that 3000 subscribers would pick up the phone to access the central office at the same time. Thus, a few hundred get a busy. If you think that the IP world works any better or different then the old way then you must rethink this again. It is all the same, "based on traffic" As we are being sold on new technology it's just a new way of looking at the flavor of traffic how many can communicate within the network. Again, you don't have to know why the system works but you must understand traffic and user group to make it work.

What made it even more interesting is when the AVAYA instructor had to call tech support in Colorado and get AVAYA's ace IP whiz on the horn to help him. A long story short, (code) it never worked again.

Not much down time in the training room the instuctor had a couple of extra units with him.

One thing I liked about the IP Office is that you can play a wave file for any anouncement. Please press two now to tell everyone in the customer service department to go to hell.
