We beta tested the IPEdge at our office and it went well. It acts and programs basically the same as CIX. Finally the management interface is hosted by the server itself instead of having to load any software. The gateways were all Audiocodes units. There are different ones for PRI/T1, pots lines and analog stations. The audiocodes have their own web interface for configuration. As was stated, the voicemail is the same as Strata Messaging by T3. Even in it's beta state, we didn't encounter any odd behavior. The only complaint we had was that the configuration of the Audiocodes equipment isn't integrated at all with the IPEdge and is a bit un-intuitive. Toshiba does provide some integration files which help out. Also, we integrated the IPEdge into our Stratanet network and everything worked as expected.
