[cisco-voip] Incompatibility Issues

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I don't think you are alone. I would bet half the people on this list feel the same way as you do.

You could always go to CIPTUG and voice your opinion at the open mic sessions. Of course, they'd say "Let's take this offline" and never get back to you. ;)

  Can anyone relate?

  We just received our order for a MCS-7825-I1-IPC server and Call
  Manager 4.1.3 software bundle to go with it. The OS version that was
  shipped with the CCM software is version 2000.2.7a which is not
  compatible with the MCS-7825-I1-IPC server. I need version 2000.4.1 or
  later.

  I am beginning to hate Cisco over software incompatibility issues. I
  have not had one install this year where I did not have
  incompatibility issues with software/hardware or software versions.
  TAC engineers can not send out media or make it available for
  download. They just forward me to the PUT tool. The PUT tool is no
  help, because I do not have a SASU contract yet. Our vendor can't help
  because they cannot get the OS version individually.

  I keep hearing that things will get better with ver 5.0 …. But I do
  not seeing a light at the end of this long tunnel.

  There are too many IPT vendors for Cisco to make things this
  complicated. Nortel, Avaya, Mitel ... the list goes on. Open source
  IPT is building steam. Even Microsoft has anounced an interest. I
  think Cisco could be the next SUN if they do not change their
  practices. I think they could be giving software away just to sell
  hardware. Don't get me wrong, I think Cisco's IPT product is the best
  but so is Solaris.

  - Why does Cisco not allow downloads for the full OS versions for IPT?
  - Why is it impossible to get a demo for CCM 5.0?
  - Why is the Compatability matrix such a mess?
