The iPhone 4S Battery Drain Mystery!

January 20th, 2012
iempty

My brother came from New York to visit with me in San Diego over the Thanksgiving Holiday.  During his visit, he was frustrated by the fact that his brand new iPhone 4s battery could not last through the day! I did not pay to much attention to his ranting on this subject, but during his 10 day visit, his iPhone battery charge never lasted more than half the day before it was a dead as a stone.     For the Christmas [...]

ShoreTel SIP Trunks a Snap with Ingate SIParator!

December 11th, 2011
siperator

I don’t think your average business professional wakes up in the morning and says “Gee, I need some SIP”!   They do however ask questions like how do we get an Area Code from New York to appear on our System in San Diego?  Do I really have to buy 23 channels of voice on a PRI when I only use about 12 channels max?  Can’t we just “burst” up to 23 or 50 channels when we need them?   Can we [...]

Setting up Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Server for ShoreTel

Setting-up-Microsoft-Windows-2008-R2-Server-for-ShoreTel

ShoreTel currently runs on Microsoft Servers.   There are a number of Windows components that need to be installed to support the deployment.  If you have been installing ShoreTel for any period of time you already know that  FTP and SMTP services  along with Microsoft Windows ASP.NET, IIS and certain of its components are also required including Active Server Pages and Server Side Includes.  I also recommend that you get HyperTerminal, or better Putty to support SSL connections to ShoreTel switches [...]

Enabling-Chat-on-your-Website-with-ShoreTel-ECC-7

Compare ShoreTel (SHOR) and CISCO (CSCO) Unified Communications Manager

Compare-ShoreTel-(SHOR)-and-CISCO-(CSCO)-Unified-Communications-Manager

As both a ShoreTel Certified VoIP Engineer and a CISCO CCVP I  have been working exclusively in VoIP since 1998.   For this reason,  one of the questions that is most asked of me is which is a better solution: ShoreTel and CISCO?   Since I have the sales skills of Attila the Hun, I assume that the question is being asked because someone is truly interested in understanding the architecture of the two systems.   At the end of the day  most [...]

ShoreTel Version 12 – Configuring Users Part 1

July 21st, 2011
ShoreTel-Version-12-–-Configuring-Users-Part-1

Adding Users in ShoreTel is among the most common tasks a system administrator will be expected to perform.  We suspect once the ShoreTel solution is fully deployed, you will generally not have to tweak Trunks, Switches and Application Servers, but you will always be handling requests from USERS to make changes.  These changes will run from adding New Users to changing the feature access of existing Users.    Most User options can actually be changed by the Users themselves but often [...]
