[VoiceOps] Key System Using Polycom VVX

[Peter E]

I agree with Shripal, it is doable in broadworks. Depending on the model of VVX, though, your performance may vary. It seems they are using a lesser chip, probably to get the price down, and their performance suffers when hit with too many simultaneous messages. So, a small SCA environment with small volume should work but a bunch of SCAs in a busy environment could be a problem, especially for the lower end of the VVX line.

We also try and break people of the key system habit whenever possible.

depending on the size, Colton, you should be able to emulate a key system with BWKS.  i think i remember that you are bwks service provider right?  I think broadsoft actually has a document related to creating a key (square) System. Basically, the accounts you create are the lines, e.g. lines 1 through 4.  Register each phone with the 4 Lines/accounts.  Share the lines to each endpoint with SCA and then use series completion to ring sequentially through lines 1 through 4. i don't know how big this implementation can get, but i'm assuming it would get annoying anything past 4-8 lines.
