[cisco-voip] Help:Proposing hardware, software and licesnsing

Sorry to keep reiterating, but also the 79X2 and 79X5 series support the
new headset hookswitch control functionality that allows users to use a
wireless headset to answer and end calls without the use of a lifter.

Just to clarify one point. If I had to choose between a 7962 and a 7945
for an executive, if the executive did not need 6 line appearances I
would go with the 7945 because of the bright color screen.

Hello,

On 1, that means you have a server that can handle a maximum of 500
phones, but  it does not mean you have licensed 500 phones.

On 2, answer is no. 

On 3, I copied this from a spreadsheet that we use for internal use.
It's attached. For executives, I recommend 7962 instead of 7960. Of
course, you may also look at the 7945 or 7965.

On 4, 7940s do not allow use of the expansion module. I recommend the
7962 with a 7915 expansion module. This gives you six line buttons on
the phone and gives you 12 line buttons on the expansion module that
toggle to allow 24 line appears. 

On 5, this depends on how you add them into CallManager. Not much
difference here, but I stay with SCCP for maximum features.

On 6, see attachment. Answer is yes.

On 7, go to
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_cente
r/crs/express_5_0/design/guide/crs502srnd.pdf and look on page 96.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

1- Thanks for the reply.  But I am confused in selecting the part
number. I have a part number for CCM 6.1 with  500 seats. This mean that
I need not to have DLUs explicitly ordered? OR I need to order DLU
individually.

2- It is a silly question but I want to be on safe side, does VG224/248
requires PVDM?

3- Total number of users are around 250, with 100-120 analog, other will
be using ip phones. We are expecting to use 7911 for normal users and
7942 and 7960 for Executives.
I tried to search cisco.com to find DLU Calculator for IP Phones, but
unable to find any link. Can you point out any link!

4- For Operator, what phone model will u recommend. We used 7940 and
expansion module with a previous CM 4.2 deployment.

5- Phones that will be shipped will come with SCCP or SIP based firmware
(previously they were SCCP when ordered with CCM 4.x)

6- Also soft phones will also consume DLU?

7-for IPCC Express 5, will MCS-7816 is sufficient?

Waiting for your response.

Regards,

Khalid

Hello,

For 3), you will need DLUs (device licenses). 

For 4), don't forward to configure this with voice code and DSPs.

For 5), I'd stay far away from the CE-500 switches. The CPU utilization
goes through the roof when under load.

For IPCC Express, you will need an additional MCS.

As far as Unity versus Unity Connection, it really depends upon the
number of mailboxes and depends on whether or not you need to integrate
with Microsoft Exchange or Domino for unified messaging. If you do not
have this need, Unity Connection is the way to go.

Of course, this is without any knowledge of the number of phones needed
for your organization.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

Luckily I have been asked by my manager to propose harware, software and
licenses for an IPT solution.

Need suggestions on the list below that I have come up with:

1- MCS 7816-H3 Appliance with CCM 6.1 x 2
2- Cisco 2851 with SRST x 1
3- Cisco 7940/1 and 7911 IP phones
4- Cisco 2811 with 4-port FXO  x 2 (for initial setup, later they will
move to PRIs)
5- Catalyst 3560 or 2960 or CE-500/520 PoE switches (whatever comes in
budget)
6- VG224 for Analog Phones

a- Now what else I am missing in the licensing part. 

b- For IPCC exress 5.0+, will I need an additional MCS.

c- Should I go with Unity or Unity Connection.

d- Any thing else that I missed!

Regards,

Khalid
