My calculation is based on time per user. I would say for each user you have - allocate 1-1.5 hours. That takes care of installation, configuration, programming, testing, people changing their mind, reprogramming, retesting, etc. Gathering data takes a significant amount of time. The...

Yes - if you give them access to Cisco PCA and they can log in via the web to turn the greeting on/off.

The call should never come back to your old system. I too am working on moving numbers from an old system to a new hosted system. 100% every time if a number doesn't work correctly, it's because both carriers have messed up somewhere in the porting process.

Good enough for me. FXS it is!

Ongoing debate about FXS vs ATA - does it make a difference which one is used for analog?

This is not what I would consider a material problem (depending on whose perspective) but it is interesting technically. I have a group of phones, all of which want to display a common number for both internal calls and external calls. Each person has their own individual DID. Whenever anyone...

Can you be more specific? Do you mean the effort to install UCM, Unity and IMP or do you mean something else?

Hi - no you can't. I have the same issue. If you want more than 7 days you will need to go to the CAR tool.

I am trying to translate a number to another number when the phone makes an internal call only. For example, my directory number is 8200. When I call Bob sitting at the desk next to me, I want the internal number display to show the assistant's directory number 8000. I was thinking I could...

I'm not sure why it takes so long but it's annoying. You can't really tell at what stage the upgrade is since the screen hangs in one spot for what I think is a significant amount of time. You have to take a nap and come back hoping for the best.

That's what I thought. I have never heard of an enduser being able to configure such a feature. Having said that, I don't know everything :)

Thank you. The upgrade to CIMC took 2 hours going from 1.5 to 2.0 to 3.0. The server did hang and I had to get someone down to the data center to pull the plug and restart it. The other server didn't have the same experience, but it still took 2 hours to upgrade everything.

I have a telemarketer calling my Cisco phone every day. Is there a way, as an end user, that I can program this number myself to reject the telemarketer number? I don't believe there is, but maybe someone has come up with a creative way to deal with menacing calls to an individual user.

What is the impact of shutting down CIMC in the middle of the day to upgrade firmware? I can't find anything that would indicate it's a bad thing but...someone may have had a different experience. Thanks!

You are going to need some kind of call recording software to start. If you have that and created recording profile on CUCM, then you can assign that recording profile to the user's directory number.
