My company is under "total solution" for our Axxess. It was not my choice to enter into it but putting the cost aside the support we get is very good. We deal with the Inter-Tel manufacturer office in our city and all things considered they are doing a fine job. A few months back they suggested that we look at replacing our system with a Mitel and replacing our total solution lease. They stepped us through the costs and pros and cons and both Inter-Tel sales and our management agreed we should stick with Axxess. A very fair assessment I thought.

Inter-Tel/Mitel is doubling the price of Axxess components starting Oct. 1st. I would not go back into the "Total Lease." You can buy all the components on the secondary market to serve as back up. This minimal investment will save you many thousands in the long run.

Thanks for the clarification Chris. I've not had a chance to look at the Mitel stuff. I hope we have an alternative to dual 5600s. My Axxess and two 5200s have communication issues now.

I feel your pain.

Hello,

I bought a used IPC card recently.
I cannot login to it.
firmware = 1.203

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
JD

Hi John :toast:

Rumors of Axxess v12.0 w/ SIP Trunking. Has anyone else heard anything?

11.0 enables SIP trunking. We've used Quintum gateways to replace MGCP gateways using SIP Trunking. Haven't heard of anybody using true SIP trunks with the Axxess of 5000 yet....

I wouldn't count on it. If I were a betting man, I'd bet the last number will begin with an 11.

Why?

Mitel integrated their IP stations into the 5000 only. They're in the process of killing off the 86xx series phones and are developing a SIP integration for the NuPoint voice mail exclusively to the 5000.
Bye, bye Axxess, it was nice while it lasted.

There are some who may argue that the Axxess is a dinosaur whose time has come...

SoCalJake is where my money is if i was a betting man.
