[VoiceOps] Edgemarc Experiences

[Scott Berkman]

To expand on what Jay is saying here about the CLI, Edgemarcs do in fact
have a full CLI in that it's an embedded Linux box.

If you know your way around Linux, you can look at interfaces, check the
configuration files, restart processes, and use tcpdump (their version is
actually tweaked to help read SIP captures).  Or anything else you normally
do in Linux.

What it does not have is a cli in the Cisco IOS industry standard sense for
modifying the config or expect-based API integration.  It's possible to
change settings from the CLI by editing files and then restarting the proper
service or script, but Edgewater generally recommends against this.

They do offer a config backup/load process and an EMS that can push changes
in bulk and do some cool remote capture and call quality monitoring things.

Upside:  The boxes work.  Support is good.

Downside:  No CLI to speak of.  Features, interfaces, and call capacity
limited by license.

We have for the most part abandoned Edgewater for the Adtran Netvanta
3120 and/or TA900 series units.  No per-call or per-feature license issues
to deal with on the Adtran, ten-year warranty and very feature-rich.
