[cisco-voip] Using CME to page to every phone

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

If you've hit 2000 phones and are likely to get more, you might have to start looking at Cistera. They are the only one that I am aware of that can control more than 2000 phones on one appliance. Granted, I didn't look hard at SYNAPPS or Berbee, but we didn't like them for the fact they are on a Windows based platform. Cistera is on Linux. IPCelerate definately need multiple servers which would make administration a pain for us with almost 8000 endpoints.

if you have 2000 end points CME is out, are you running Call Manager already? If so you will need to look at 3rd party application to integrate with CUCM. We have used SingleWire InformaCast with good success (formerly know as Berbee) I have heard some good things about IPcelerate and Syn-apps as well, but I don't have any experience with them.

I am trying to find out if and how good is CME for ip phone paging? I have about 2000 end points across a fiber network. I need to be able to page to the speaker of each phone at least. We currently have a solution, but are starting to entertain other possible solutions. 




Cheers

Why is CME not working for a paging? How many phones are you trying to send to? I have not had a problem using CME to page.

Hi, 



Has anyone used CME to page to every phone? I need to find a possible other paging solution. Thanks.
