Hi all,
Been lurking here for awhile, just registered to post this question. I have been working with the Mitel MiVoice Office 250 since it was called the Eclipse^2 system, as an end-user (customer). Currently have a three node 250 system and at one of the sites have the page port connected to a Valcom horn setup. It works well.
Through no fault of anyone, there was a need to expand the paging to an outbuilding that had fiber (and a switch of course) but no "paging wire". Purchased an Algo 8186 SIP Horn, hung, configured, got the license for it, called it, haunted the folks in the warehouse, cool. I emailed my vendor for a compatibility check, and did not get an immediate response. Since I had successfully configured an Algo strobe at another site, I figured the horn would work as well. Turns out I should have waited for my vendor to respond. Bully on me.
I am not able to figure out how to make the system "page" not only the Valcom horns but the Algo horn as well. Trying Phantom trickery (set up a Phantom, make it forward immediately to the horn extension, and put that Phantom in the page zone) doesn't work either. I consulted my vendor who has a small lab setup and they couldn't figure out anything either. So, I'm coming to the collective wisdom of the group.
Please be easy on me.
Thanks,
Fred
