Mitel MiVoice Business/MCD/3300 / Re: 'New' mobile twinning
« on: January 10, 2014, 03:57:29 PM »
This is the part that I'm confused about.

From the MCD Help:
Quote
Set "Hot Desk External User – Answer Confirmation" as required depending on whether the trunk terminating at the External Hot Desk User provides true answer supervision. If not provided, ensure that "Fake Answer Supervision After Outpulsing" and "Ignore Answer Supervision" are set to Yes in the trunk's circuit descriptor.

We're using PRI's coming in on this system (and all the other systems in the network). The only place I see these options are under Trunks --> Analog --> Loop Start/LS-GS --> CO Trunk Circuit Descriptors.

We have 3 PRI's connected to this switch which are listed under the Digital section (and there's no reference to these two items).

What if you experimented with the ANSWER PLUS system reroute timer in the COS for these? Tweak until it hits the 3300 VM instead of the mobile. Not sure if this is the answer, but worth a try. Thanks.

I'll take a look at that, but I don't know if that'll do what I'm looking for.

As it sits right now everything works great. My PRG extension (1234) is called and it rings on 1234, 3*1234 (my 2nd line), 5*1234 (my EHDU /cell phone) I can answer it on any device. If I leave my cell phone and do not touch it, it'll roll over to my voicemail at the office no problem.

The problem arises when I ignore the call on my phone (press reject/etc). If I turn off Answer Confirmation, the caller is sent to my cell phone voicemail system. If I have Answer Confirmation on and reject the call, the caller is sent to the office voicemail platform.

I'd like to have answer confirmation OFF (so the users don't have to press 3 keys to answer a call on their cell phone) while retaining the ability to reject a call and have the office voicemail answer it, not the cell phone.

Mitel MiVoice Business/MCD/3300 / 'New' mobile twinning
« on: January 10, 2014, 02:05:49 PM »
Our MAS finally tanked. Hardware took a crap and down it went.

It was running the mobile twinning blade alongside the teleworker (mitel border gateway) blade. We've since upgraded to the standalone vMBG. Discussions with our vendor lead us to beleive that the mobile extension blade is not compatible with this version of the standalone vMBG. We have about 50 users that use the twinning service...so we upgraded to the external hot desk licenses and personal ring groups.

For the most part, this is working great. Few kinks I had to work out but it's up & running. However, there's a kink in it.

I have created a new HDU for my cell phone and enabled the EHDU license. I dial the 4 digit  extension, it rings my cell phone. Sweet!

I created a personal ring group and added my EHDU extension. I dial my desk extension, it rings my desk and then my cell phone. Sweet!!


Now the problem :-\

If I answer the call on my cell phone, I need to press a key to answer the line.  Easy enough, I turn off Hot Desk External User - Answer Confirmation.  I call  again and answer on my cell phone and I'm instantly connected.

I want to now test voicemail and make sure the call rolls back to the company voicemail server. I reject the call on my phone....and it goes to my cell phone provider's voicemail. If I just ignore it (silence) the call, it goes back to company voicemail as expected.


So...is this possible? The users are used to rejecting the call and have it return to company voicemail <WITHOUT> having to press a key to answer a call.


I've set the CO Trunk Circuit Descriptions Ignore answer supervision and the Fake something or other to YES, however the issue still persists.


<CLIFFS, TLDR;>

Call to external hotdesk extension. Want to be able to reject a call and have it return to company voicemail while not having to press a key to answer the call.

Here's a procedure I put together for the Service Desk staff here to start building extensions. It's been heavily edited to remove information, but the gist of it is here.


‎5)‎   Once a number is determined, proceed to create the account.  ‎
a.‎   ‎(if necessary) Login to the appropriate Mitel 3300 controller
b.‎   From the left pane, expand the Users and Devices menu and select User and Device ‎Configuration
c.‎   Click the  Add button and select Default User and Device .‎
‎6)‎   In the window that loads, fill out the following information.‎
a.‎   On the Profile tab:‎
i.‎   Under User Profile:‎
‎1.‎   Input the user’s First and Last name in the corresponding fields.‎
ii.‎   Under Service Profile:‎
‎1.‎   In the Number field, input the 4 digit DID number
‎2.‎   For hot desk users, place a check in the box next to Hot Desking User.‎
‎3.‎   Under Secondary Element, select the appropriate Secondary ‎controller.‎
b.‎   Select the Service Details tab:‎
i.‎   Class of service defines controls that can be used to define what the users ‎and/or devices can use as well as set system resources in pre-defined ‎situations.‎
‎1.‎   ‎Input the COS created for Hot desking users for Day, Night1 and Night2 ‎modes.‎
‎2.‎   INput the COR created for hot desking users (if any)
c.‎   Select the Access and Authentication tab:‎
i.‎   Set the User Pin and Confirm User Pin to the extension number.‎
ii.‎   Click the ‘Apply’ button. Wait for the changes to save.‎
d.‎   Select the Keys tab:‎
i.‎   Click the ‘Change All Keys’ button.‎
ii.‎   According to their position/title, configure the key assignments accordingly
iii.‎   Click Save (bottom of page) to save key configurations. The Key window will ‎close
e.‎   Click Save again to save changes to the Hot Desk account


‎7)‎   Configure call forwarding for user.‎
a.‎   Call Forwarding defines where to forward an incoming call to if the line is busy or not ‎answered.‎
i.‎   From the left menu, expand Advanced Configuration and select Call ‎Forwarding Profile.‎

8)‎   Configure Call Routing
a.‎   Call Rerouting lets the system redirect calls to alternate answering points or devices, ‎under specified conditions. Call Rerouting may be used to redirect calls either always ‎‎(in Day, Night 1, and/or Night 2 mode) or under busy, no answer, or Do Not Disturb ‎conditions.  Call Rerouting is dependent upon the type of calling device, the type of ‎terminating device, and the entries specified in the Call Rerouting forms. Rerouting is ‎also affected by conditions invoked by the user (such as Call Forward). The system is ‎currently configured to forward calls to the voicemail server first, and in the event of a ‎network/system failure to the backup voicemail  system.‎
i.‎   From the left menu pane, expand Call Routing, then Call Handling and select ‎Call Rerouting.‎

Scratch that...figured it out and have it working properly.

#hooray


Now to appease the masses...

Running into something strange here. Just moved users over to the EHDU (as our old MAS finally died). I've setup personal ring groups for the users so they can have mobile twinning & all that fun stuff still.

Normally, when a call comes in and its not answered, it'll get forwarded to an external voicemail system (x5000). Now, if the call isn't answered it goes right to the onboard voicemail of the 3300 not the external system.

I've changed the call rerouting but to no avail. Is there something I'm missing here?

So here's something strange.

I get home last night night around 2am.  Only changes I made were to disable the session timer (I backed out everything else). The SIP peer is basically the default when you add one. I busy'd and RTS'd the sip peer to bounce it to apply changes. No audio.

This morning on the way in, I get a call from the Cisco office and I can hear him just fine. I was actually on my twinned number. Call came in the SIP trunk, routed over IP/XNET trunk to another 3300, then out the PRI to my cell phone. No problems. I called him back from the office (so ip phone --> controller --> ip/xnet --> sip --> cisco) and audio was fine.

/completely confused why it didn't work last night.

I used that older document (like MCD 7.1 or something).

I used that as the guideline, modifying accordingly (because of course, MCD 7.1 to MCD 5.0 SP2 PR2 is quite a bit of changes).

I'm not sure what you're talking about the CUBE/Cisco thing (I have honestly never touched one of these enviroments, only dreamed of it). The SIP trunk is connected to the Publisher on their side. That's the extent of the Cisco enviorment that I know of (I'm hoping to get some diagrams/etc of how their VOIP is so I can understand better).

Thanks. I haven't troubleshooted VOIP issues for a while, bit rusty in the call setup & teardown procedures :)

Would you know offhand if a MOL document exists for a 5.0+ MCD release to connect to a Cisco enviroment?

10
If you export the SIP trunk traffic from the 3300 and the CUBE to wiresharsk, does it show that there is traffic passing between the two, if so does it look correct? Also are there any alarms showing on the 3300 relating to the SIP trunk?

I'll have to try that in the morning, I'm having some other issues right now (other site hard down, need to divert attention over there first).  There are no alarms on the system that reference this specific SIP trunk.

In the morning I'll make a call to there and SIP trace. Could you provide an example of what SIP traffic should look like?

11
We're on 5.0 SP2 PR2. The CCM is 7.0 (Cisco Call Manager).

I have a SIP trunk established between a centralized 3300 and the CCM Publisher. All other 3300's are sending the digits via ARS digits dialed to the centralized 3300 and then out the SIP trunk to the CCM.

When it was established, we tested and everything was great. I call them, they call us, we both heard each other. Lately (as in 3 days later) after a while no audio was passing. I call over there, nothing. They call here, nothing. Forward calls to voicemail and still same problem. No message is left on their side and they don't hear our voicemail system.

Kinda at a loss as to what broke. There have been no chances to the SIP trunk or the centralized controller on the 3300 side. I saw the blurbs about SDP dupliacte offers, made the mods and still no audio. Session timer is set to Zero (disabled). I had it at 90 when it was working. I bumped it up to 1800 per an older Cisco <> Mitel document I found to no avail. I'm at a loss as to what happened.  Any insight?

I heard rumors there's an updated MOL document that outlines how to configure a SIP trunk from a 3300 to CCM. I found a Cisco document that I followed that didn't really match up to what we have (it was on the old 7.1 release).

Looking for good, bad and indifferent experiences for support vendors for the Mitel systems. Getting close to renewal time and would like to consider options.

Thanks!

Mitel MiVoice Business/MCD/3300 / Re: 3300 backups and maintenance commands
« on: November 19, 2012, 01:34:46 PM »
We're running 4.1 SP2 and my research turns up that if we're on 5.0 this can be automated per controller. I'll need to seek from the provider to update our controllers.

Mitel MiVoice Business/MCD/3300 / 3300 backups and maintenance commands
« on: November 19, 2012, 01:10:14 PM »
We used to automate all the backups via OpsMan. However this recently bit the dust and decided to flip us the grande finger. I'm aware I can manually run backups from the Maintenance section, but this is a task that I would like to automate instead of logging in to the unit to do single/network-wide backups.  Is this possible?

I've also been pouring over the Maintenance command list thoroughly. Is there some command that will shut down the trunk line(s) without causing any alerts or warnings?

Mitel Software Applications / Re: Fairly simple question re: MAS and blades
« on: November 06, 2012, 01:15:38 PM »
Thanks gentleman (or ladies) for the assistance.  This is the first time I've done this, so forgive my 'newbness'. The product is (clearly) out of support so whatever I do is on me to keep working. Fortunately it's not that hard.  I grabbed a service ID from another system we have running and entered that as registration. Once that registered, I ran the two commands above and ran the RPM install on the QC module. Now when I click on Blades from the interface, I see QuickConference is installed.

Was this there right way? I don't think so. But its working as far as I can tell. I need to finish everything to make sure its working though...
