Ditto
that. On a Mitel box, A Service Contract Is Your Friend and a Good Interconnect
Is Your Best Friend. Our 3300 was loosing conn w/ the phones and loosing sync
with our PRI. Our interconnect blamed everything from the LAN to sunspots except
the 3300. Because we had a service contract, I insisted that the NSU be
replaced, which they did grudgingly and lo! problems ceased. ~3k calls / day
from 80 users for 3 years so far - no problems.
FWIW,
I'm just using QOS. We haven't had any issues with non - VLAN config. However,
the reason I'm on this list in the first place is because we are planning to
replace the 3300 with * :-) and the reason is simply because the Mitel box is
too expensive $$. A 5020 costs us $1200 Cdn. My boss, who approved the
system in the first place, likes to tease me and say: "Tell me again why we
moved away from a Meridian One?"
On
topic: The Ipera (the 3300's predecessor) supported SIP, as well as the new, I
think it's called 3010 which is throttled to 25 users. Mitel made a stupid
decision to drop SIP for the 3300 to try to lock in users with their own
proporietary protocol which I have analyzed and it's part IP and part CDS (Cisco
Discovery, like SNMP). Because the CDS part is Layer - 2 - ish it's hard to
route; my BSD box routes it OK but a Seawall kind of config won't.
Grrrr....

I am very surprised that you have had problems with a mitel 3300ICP. We have had one installed here for the past year or so and it is a very good system. We did suffer the occaisonal crash and then our system was wiped out by a lightning strike, we had a replacement controller in place and fully working within 3 hours. Since then we have had absolutely no crashes at all.
You do need to setup the 3300ICP properly - incorrect configuration can cause you serious nightmares, but then it is a very flexible system. It also seems to be very particular about your network setup. Dont even think about trying to run it over a data network that does not have vlans or QOS.
The early software versions were pretty poor, however version 4 is much better and we will soon be upgrading to version 5 so if you want to know how that fares let me know.
Their teleworker solution is particularly impressive, although I wish they would release SIP support for their phones and controllers.
Anyone know of a project to bring minet to asterisk?
