I already have a Valcom (VIP-801) on the way and will be going back to the traditional 70v system for all page. Just FYI, we had a cyberdata paging amp installed for this purpose and it's complete crap. Took to long to pick up and couldn't not turn off the announce tone. My hopes are high for the Valcom product, however, something tells me I should stick with ATA's...I'll post an update when we have a workable solution. We have reduced the paging group size considerably, turns out, it was causing the PageServer to crash as well. Watchdog kind enough to keep restarting it. Perhaps there should be a limit placed on the paging group size considering it's unicast traffic. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users
