I do not think so, according to the brochure it works on the IPx line; but the uCMC works on the ICE system.

I'm talking about in an IPX series. I'm just trying to understand the companies decision to install uCMC over the WiCMC.

Reataylor, I have installed several UCMC I have not had any real issues that could not be resolved. I have been told by many people that the WiCMC is better. I can't say for sure as I have had good luck with most all Tadirans products, including the ICE. I have a customer that we had to just get into the WiCMC for the Distribution mailboxes.

I have installed both and the WiCMC is a better system. I would have to say the FIRST and foremost reason being that the software key is a USB dongle and not some eprom on the board that is tied to the serial on the hard drive unit. This makes us able to replace the hard drives in the field if you use ghost.

Had 2 catastrophich failures in 2 years with Ucmc.

I'm not thrilled with the uCMC myself. I have one, it runs but the configuration is pretty poor. My vendor has offered me a great deal to upgrade/side-grade/whatever-you-want-to-call-it to wicmc, but money is tight at my site.

I'm running an older version (1.something) but uCMC didn't pass even a rudimentary inspection by our security crew so no unified messaging is in use. The remote mgmt interface is very buggy and IE only (and only works with IE7 with issues). There also seems to be a lot of software bloat.

I only wish there was a better upgrade path to the wicmc. If we could migrate greetings, announcements, and other configs I think I'd have a much better time selling it to the bosses. UCMC makes me wish I was still using the Repartee system we replaced with UCMC 7 or so years ago.

I think if you refresh your bosses memory about how the good ole days were with the Repartee, that could be your selling point on upgrading to the WICMC... You may also want to talk to them about doing the Seamail..

Seamail?

Sadly the boss from the Repartee era is a good 2-3 bosses back and has his own system, in another state, to worry about. A couple of big Nortels, which means a lot of fun when I'm trying to translate Nortel <-> Tadiran as far as which feature is which. Then we have some Cisco gear so that's a third set of terms for the same features.

Sorry,

Tadiran has a product they are marketing from Teledata called the T3. I had one in my office. Pretty slick. I think they have a SIP compliant voicemail system out there now.
