@Mike-Ralston said in 4K vs UHD:

4K is actually a 16:10 at 4096 x 2160

Actually, even DCI, that make that projection defitinition, doesn't have a single standard and DCI 4K (which is not 4K, it's DCI 4K) isn't a standard, but a list of standards. So even by the book DCI 4K doesn't necessarily match what you claim to be a requirement. So even if you believe that DCI has the right to own the term 4K, you don't result in a 4096 pixel standard.

I use Icloud for GroveSocial as we are completely Mac/IOS based over on that side of things. But frankly I don't have a ton to save either.
for Personal I use Icloud for sharing photos from gigs etc. out to @art_of_shred easily etc. But really we use our NAS for what we are keeping.

I posted this on SW too since I know that Mitel and PBX people who support Mitel are much more common over there.

I received the following response from Eric from Mitel

The top items (P0000, P0001) are what we call extension lists. Extension list are the way you group extensions together. For example if you wanted to have an all ring hunt group, you would build an extension list and place that in the hunt group to ring all the phones at the same time. The lower item (2105) is your hunt groups. This is where you would create the ringing destinations and call types. You can always press F1 for help when looking at the database programming and it will assist you with the screen you are looking at.

I just received a voicemail from Citrix trying to sound like they are the HIPAA police demanding that I call him today or tomorrrow.. LOL

No, those guys are down the way from me.

Helps when you work for a security focused group.

You can't, but assuming you could redefine cloud to something else, what would you even want to be associated with the term? What do we currently lack a term for?

I've noticed a bunch of weird things on ML. No slight intended against the staff, just the code that back-ends it is occasionally flaky. It doesn't bother me enough to do something about it, just my $0.02 and sympathy for your plight.

I sent a request to Sales at Peplink today.. 8 hours later and still no reply ... I guess I'll have to call in the morning.

I'm starting a new thread to talk about internet connections themselves leaving this one for the firewall questions.

I was wondering if this was going to be good enough considering Scott's recommendation? As long as I don't recreate a route between the VLANs I guess it should be.

Right, you would want to keep them as gapped as possible.

@DenisKelley Yeah I feel completely comfortable that the default VMWare upgrade would work, but it wouldn't update the drivers. Assuming the old drivers already in place are compatible, they would just stay in place.

I'm confused... So what you're telling me is, in a digital system (and possibly in my Mitel VOIP/SIP system too) that the call control isn't handed off to the phone, but is asterisk it is?

We used Mitel PBX and IP Phones at the town. Yes they call it a hold but it was basically a parking lot. Are there was a Individual Hold which placed it at the phone (could not remote pick up) or a System Hold which placed it on the PBX's parking lot hold. We just programed the buttons to do the system hold. It's different vendor terminology but it's the same thing.

So the parking lot # it put it at was always it's own extension? OK that would make total sense... the guys who set it up must have done that then...

hmmm.. I'm not sure Appassure can talk directly to the storage medium.. I'd have to look into that.

So is freepbx a good choice for a voip novice? Also looking for opinions on hosted vs on-premise. Am I better to spin up a vm internally or host on DO?

Just be careful when you are talking about running something like FreePBX in-house on a VM versus with a hosting provider on a VM. There may be differences in the kernel that can cause buggy behavior in the PBX (like running Elastix on VMWare vs. Xen and call reports working in one case but not the other). It can work, but you want to test it to make sure.

But I'd say for a VOIP newb, FreePBX is a decent choice to dig in and start playing.

Awesome, I'm hoping that my consultant will point things like this out to me, as well as other pitfalls that might exist.

@Dashrender said:

It's a trust thing I guess. I hope that one managing a project like Elastix to do a pretty good or better job at securing their website, and I'd feel more comfortable pulling the hash from them than from a file sitting on the same file server as the actual file, especially since it's a hosting provider, not the content creator.

A better job than SourceForge? I'm not sure what you are looking for. SourceForge is a huge player and the source of the majority (I think) of the world's open source projects. At least those of any size. This is how a huge amount of open source is done.

SouceForge really is the content creator, in a way, here. Remember, this is open source.

I only need one or two phones to be mobile throughout our buildings... so buying two WiFi phones will probably be easier than dealing with DECT base stations all over. In clinic, the phones will stay within 50 m of the base station, so that won't be a problem.

You could just download a VoIP app on your smart phone and connect it to Wifi... it would probably amount to the same thing... just less expensive. I assume you have a smart phone?

I enjoy Zoiper.

The problem with that is management and staff don't want to use personal equipment without compensating the equipment owner (staff member in this case). So currently BOYD doesn't work in my environment.

Poor Boyd. You should fire him.

LOL - nice.

Would there be any benefit to having the ability to do a chat export? With 'notification' of limit reached?

In lue of no limit I would like that!

As for the budget questions - I know this will blow your mind - but we don't deal in real budgets.

Actually that is something that I believe strongly in - that budgets are bad. But one way or another, overspending in IT will probably come back to bite IT. Even if there is no budget, do you not fear that management will be like "but we just spend an extra $600 per person to shut them up, what is IT doing ?!?!"

This assumes that they KNOW they spent $600 to shut them up... Heck honestly I didn't know two year old machines could be had so cheap! So they sure as heck don't.

Management doesn't know the price difference? Is this because they were not told or because they were not presented options?

The options I presented were between Levono and HP - pretty close in price actually. So yeah they are unaware (as was I) of the used option.

It's less me having a problem with this cost, and more the administrator. Management often doesn't see value in something they can't see directly having an effect on production or productivity.

If it breaks after it has been EOL'd can they still next day you one to replace it with?

If I'm under contract, they'll be sending me something.
