I'm going to use the analogy of a school district for the purposes of this thread. Several little things here could make life more enjoyable if clarified or FIXED:
1) Why does a group page at School A have to go back to the DO and be sent from the HQ server? THis functionality should be placed on the DVM at each site. The bandwidth used for 70 phones is 5.7MB. Sheer luck is that they have 10-100MB pipes.
2) Why is ShoreTel still using Unicast instead of Multicast? Item one could be greatly helped by this. Most switches/routers of name brand have the ability to support multicast.
3) If a ShoreTel 120 can "technically" support 120 simultaneous calls if the trunks exist, then why is Product Bulletin 0200 does it say no more than 40 phones per switch in a Paging Group. Each phone in a paging group is treated as an individual call, so why can't the 120 handle the pages?
4) In regards to item 3, is there any "processing power" difference between a Model 40, 50, 60, 90 and a 120? In the 70 phone scenerio, if I use 3 Model 50's with 25, 25, an 20 phones per switch, should that work or will the model 50 support fewer phones in a paging group that a 90 or 120?
There is a LOT of opportunity here that is being missed.
