Anybody running MCD 7.0 yet?

[acejavelin]

Got a series of upgrades to do this week for a couple different customers, any reason not to go directly to MCD 7.0 from 4.0 or 5.0?

I have one currently being installed. I really wanted to try the new DID routing. This is a new site and isn't fully operational yet, so I haven't found any issues.

We're running it on our demo/test system, and a multi-site customer (7 of their 9 controllers) and haven't had an issue yet.

We have this running in our office. We find that call rerouting in a resilient environment does not work. We also found the User/Device form tedious to say the least. See how long it takes to load. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

We were about to pull the trigger and upgrade our largest customer, until Prairie Fyre tech support told us they are not compatible yet, which conflicts with the 7.0 release notes.

I hadn't heard that.  What's the problem?

Think I'll pull the trigger on a single site tonight, currently running 4.0, will let you know how it goes.

Went smooth, no issues... The only things I noticed was some very significant lag in the web UI and phones pulling firmware for the first 20-30 minutes after the system came back online, and this is a small system, maybe 30 phones... And the new Users & Devices menu is horrendous, maybe I will like it more in time but it seems like a big step backwards.

Exactly the consensus in our office.

Ugh. I haven't got an MCD 7 system yet, but my boss just quoted to upgrade a 300+ user ver9 system. Joy.

Just wanted to add that the system I have at 7 is now installed and with yesterdays SIP work, functional.

This was a drop ship system that I bench programmed with everything provided, made a bogus address for the sip since that wasn't forthcoming. Worked with the carrier and the only thing needed was the default CPN for outbound after they made their changes and I mine with the true info.

Will add for my friends who are gluttons of punishement, the site had 2 external ip addresses and only one firewall, and the network was flat. :-)

Pah, last SIP site we did had 8 external IP addresses and one firewall and two seperate flat networks for phones and data.

The last install I walked into was running 2 different subnets on vlan 1 still not sure how it was working.

[x-man]

Ive seen that using subnet masking tweaks I think and then you need something at layer three to allow the subnets to communicate...again I think that is what it was.

[v2win]

It was more of case that the IT group didnt know what they were doing. the subnets were 10.0.1.X/24 and 172.16.0.X/24 all the PC's were statically set.

It was a mess
