Do most of these look similar? We only looked at one of these (Solarwinds RMM) before we decided to continue on our own home brew path.
This looks almost identical to that. I know it is not the same product.
I'm just curious if most RMMs look similar.....

@AdamF said in Cellular backup options:
However I think Comcast uses Verizon under the hood anyway for their cell network. Can anyone confirm that?
Comcast has agreements with all of the cellular networks. Who the underlying carrier is depends on your geo location. This is why they may send you a new sim card if you move to a new area that is serviced by another carrier.

We use the Peplink MAX BR1 Mini LTE | Industrial-Grade 4G LTE Router | MAX-BR1-MINI-LTE-US-T at about 80 customers. We like it. It's easy, it works. Verizon charges anywhere from $10 to $20 per month depending on how you get them to include it.
The hardest part of any failover system (except the integrated solution from Comcast) is the router setup. We use all Sonicwall and it works perfect for FailOVER, but every once in a while it doesn't failBACK.
I even carry one of these with us on vacation when we travel to remote places where cellular IS available but decent copper broadband ISN'T.
This plugs into you network via ethernet, or it can be a WiFi router. (or both!)

I'm curious - how is that an HR problem?
Employee didn't complete assigned duties.
I have been using Companion link to do this for many years. I have run into some issues and their support is not helpful. I am looking for another solution. Anyone have other products they use/like for this?
@Pete-S said in VPN hardware suggestions.:
thought 3DES-HMAC-SHA1 was considered obsolete and insecure.
Normally you'd see something like AES-CBC-256-SHA256 or AES-GCM-256-SHA256.
It is. I had it changed right after I took the screen shot. It's an HR problem. 
@siringo said in VPN hardware suggestions.:
Thanks everyone for the help. I'll look into everything mentioned.
Some of the comments would lead you to believe Sonicwall is not a good solution, either from central management issues or license fees.
I can't speak to the central management issues because we've chosen to not bother with it.
We have about 350 Sonicwalls in the field and nearly all of them have S2S VPNs setup among branches, as well as Global VPN setup for remote users (there is a fee for the Global VPN license).
Every one of them has a VPN into our lab for end user support. I fired up #7 to get this screenshot.
As far as your main question about reliable VPN end points, I have been happy with the Sonicwall devices. I like their "Wizard" setups for staff that are new to Sonicwall. It makes a S2S VPN about a 5 minute task (for both sides, not each side, but then, that would still only be 10 minutes!)
We also use the IP Tunnel connections in the Sonicwall when we need to control routing, ie not hub and spoke type routing.
The appliances can be pricey if you want to take full advantage of todays high speed broadband, but overall, we have been very satisfied with the products, especially the VPN stability.
Here's a SS of one:
No special/Add-on licensing; note the 1000 S2S VPNs allowed and the 12 Global VPNs allowed.
This Sonicwall does have 60 VPN Clients licensed to it, about 45 are in use daily.
@Dashrender Those rules are not my real rules. I was playing with them to test importing.
Rule 4 is so we can dial 10 digits to area code 989 without creating a 911 issue before the 911 rule was created.
Rules 1 was 2-9, but I change it to see it I could import modified rules.
I need to get my rules straight and repost for you to look at.
@JaredBusch said in FANVIL Deskphone setting for dialing:
It falls under the <call> heading.
This will be good when we go from playing to production with these phones.
And Order does matter. In this rule set, if rule 4 comes before rule 2, it complains about conflicting rules.
This was fun. You can export the config as a txt file. Alter this section:
--Dial Plan List-- :
Item1 Number :[2-8]xxxxxxxxx
Item1 ApplyToCall :0
Item1 MatchToSend :1
Item1 Media :0
Item1 Line :-1
Item1 Address :
Item1 Port :0
Item1 Alias :
Item1 DelLen :0
Item1 Suffix :
Item2 Number :911
Item2 ApplyToCall :0
Item2 MatchToSend :1
Item2 Media :0
Item2 Line :-1
Item2 Address :
Item2 Port :0
Item2 Alias :
Item2 DelLen :0
Item2 Suffix :
Item3 Number :1xxxxxxxxxx
Item3 ApplyToCall :0
Item3 MatchToSend :1
Item3 Media :0
Item3 Line :-1
Item3 Address :
Item3 Port :0
Item3 Alias :
Item3 DelLen :0
Item3 Suffix :
Item4 Number :9xxxxxxxxx
Item4 ApplyToCall :0
Item4 MatchToSend :1
Item4 Media :0
Item4 Line :-1
Item4 Address :
Item4 Port :0
Item4 Alias :
Item4 DelLen :0
Item4 Suffix :
And then import the config.
What you cannot do is change the "Item" order. I tried Item4, Item2, Item3, Item1 and all it did was erase all dial plans.
And, to import, you only need the file header, section header, and items. So this imported just fine:
<<VOIP CONFIG FILE>>Version:2.0000000000
<CALL FEATURE MODULE>
--Dial Plan List-- :
Item1 Number :[2-7]xxxxxxxxx
Item1 ApplyToCall :0
Item1 MatchToSend :1
Item1 Media :0
Item1 Line :-1
Item1 Address :
Item1 Port :0
Item1 Alias :
Item1 DelLen :0
Item1 Suffix :
Item2 Number :911
Item2 ApplyToCall :0
Item2 MatchToSend :1
Item2 Media :0
Item2 Line :-1

@JaredBusch said in FANVIL Deskphone setting for dialing:
Also, one can only assume that it matches in order sequentially.
The manual contradicts itself. In one section it says if a number matches more than one dial plan rule, no rules are applied. In another section it says if a number matches more than one rule, the first rule is applied.
I don't see any way to re-index the rules. So I guess you have to delete and re-create in order.
Maybe I can export, modify, and import to sort the rules. Dumb.
Probably need to get a fanvil developer to start hanging out here...
@Dashrender is index 1 for your extensions? 11xx, 12xx, 13xx?
This is doing what I want. Do I still have a scenario that will fail?
I think I see how to do it with multiple rules by looking at this example:
