color=#0000ff size=2>They said that as long as the brains of the PBX stayed
active, it was considered five 9's reliable. Circuit packs, T1's etc going down
didn't count against thier uptime numbers. So in essence, you could have
every circuit dead on the PBX, but as long as the brain was still ticking, it
was still considered "up", just in degraded fashion.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV></DIV>Getting some very interesting answers, although the norm seems to
be once a month "to fix many issues." Just curious, what sorts of issues
do you see, does the system start to lose functionality (unable to transfer a
call) or even weirder, like do calls mean for extension B start routing to
extension A?? <BR><BR>As far as reliability comparison goes to traditional
PBX, I do have one site that must be run 24/7. So a CCM reboot is going
to affect them no matter how I slice it. We never had to reboot the
other traditional PBX. I can certainly live with once a month though!
