When you are replacing a key system where they had line 1, 2, 3, 4 on every phones it's met with a lot of resistance in most offices.
OK that makes sense I guess. The company I'm convert has a really old system like that. Luckily there is very little transferring going on, so the desire to keep that type of functionality it gone.
Additionally, the old system they had dialed out only as the assigned POTS line, which meant that callers were calling back directly on those other numbers. This behavior is highly undesired. So they are more willing to get rid of the "line" idea.
Yeah trunk appearances and the hold button is basically what I'm trying to emulate.
Allworx is the only vendor I've ever known to emulate trunk appearances. Directed parking BLF is more scalable. In a building of 50 people you rarely have more than 3 or 4 parked calls.
Sometimes, even with all the adherence to simulate the old system, people are still unhappy. And I wonder what it would be like to watch over the shoulder of someone else who tells them to get with the program and pound sand.
From a vendor stand point, the main people you have to make happy are the buyers/owners. The rest are given tech to use. Sure that doesn't always go over as well as you might like, but this is a business, about doing what's right for the business - if you have staff that can't learn new things.. do you really want them as part of your staff?
It's like pressing the send button on a Cell phone. I'm sure there was push back on that - WHAT I have to hit send to dial my call - FFS, OMFG - really? lol but guess what, everyone does it now.
Yeah I remember that was a big deal in the beginning.
Speaking of cell phones, on my current iteration when a call is forwarded to cell phone you can use a feature code in the call on the cell phone to xfer to another extension, or park the call. Then you can DISA in with a saved contact to page and tell everyone you parked a call on Park 2.
Similarly someone can text you and say a call is on Park 2, and you can DISA in and pick up the parked call.
Its easier than it sounds, and another feature that has been more popular than using mobile apps.

So with that in mind - I need to see if there is a way to get ext to ext dialing between a FreePBX and a Mitel system?
I can say yes to Freeswitch and Mitel lol. But I am entirely biased here.
How many Mitel phones and Inter-tel phones do you have? Are you using extension prefixes to get between PBXes?
We have approx 120 phones. No, there are no prefixes at least I don't think so.
Each building is separated into 11xx, 12xx, 13xx.
But I have a 11xx ext on the Mitel PBX that's mainly housing the 12xx extensions. -
This guy really doesn't know how to ask a question. Read the OP, then see below what he actually meant.

Or is this Mitel VOIP? I am looking and cant find where you posted the model numbers of the phones.

wow - yep, would have never guessed it was an app issue from the OP.
I would have assumed different google users where logging into the device - but every 10 seconds.. damn!

He claims that it is fully updated.

@dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
But - I'm once again looking at options.
I really don't want to wholesale convert my 120 phones all at once, but (and I'm waiting on confirmation) I think Mitel is phasing out their old 8622 phones and the A license they run on, and moving to newer phones (don't know model) that require C licenses. This makes replacing one phone cost $500+.
As some around here know, I have a multi-node PBX. Two - Mitel 5000's (VOIP phones) and one - Inter-Tel Axxess (digital phones).
The Axxess went OEL last year. Mitel has an upgrade path that replaces the Axxess with a 5000 and a digital controller so I can keep using my current (old ass) phones.But - if Mitel is going to make me move away from using my current A licenses (as of yet unconfirmed), it might be time to really look at moving away from them before we spend any money what so ever with Mitel.
Mitel 5300s by chance. And does FreePBX has templates to provision these?

No idea, just being weird.

Doing our first tests of NodeBB 1.7 now.

First site running on 1.7 looks good.

I have a little of everything.
Mitel 5000 - 43 Model 8622 VOIP phones
Mitel 5000 - 19 Model 5320 VOIP phones
Inter-Tel Axxess - 63 Model KTS (550.4000) digital phonesAll systems are linked via IP over ethernet.

Second site looking good after update.

A very small number of the phones are 5320's. And I have no clue if ext manager for FreePBX has a template for them or not.
What I would like to do is have an alternative PBX side by side with Mitel, and replace the old Mitel phones slowly over a year or more. Once everything is moved, kill the Mitel/Inter-Tel stuff.

Four sites completed. Looks like a solid process. We are ready to do ML tonight.

Lamenting the fact that other obligations tonight will prevent me from working on RHCSA concepts.
