Mitel MCD 7.0 Enhancements

If you have an MOL account, be sure to check out Product Bulletin PB20140012.
It describes the new features of MCD 7.0

Well, they weren't kidding... No more SX-2000 Peripheral Bay support.

Where did you find it? I am searching on the MKB and edocs but can't find it.

It's not in the KB.   
I found it in the bulletins.

One of the things I really like is that DID Inward Dialing Modifications can be applied to a PRI.
I've used this in ver 6.0 for SIP trunks and found it to be "friggin Awesome".  No more having to use system speed dials for DID translations.

The one thing I'm not a big fan of is the new User and Device interface.
Maybe it's because I'm now so used to the old one but I found the new one to be cumbersome and annoying.

I'm with you on the DID thing, I can't believe it wan't implemented years ago... Even the SX200 has had this for some time, the system speed dial way is so archaic. Of all the changes, this is the one major thing I had been hoping to get for years.

I'm being a bit thick here, will the DDI improvements be like a 5000, i.e just match a ddi number to a destination? or still rule based as it is in SIP?

someone mentioned no more per bay support. Is it I wonder the usual Mitel way that the bays will work but Mitel doesn't support them through any kind of testing? i.e how COV cards continued to work after they were no longer supported.

It specifically states in the product bulletin that customers using SX-2000 Peripheral Bays should not upgrade to 7.0, and should find a migration solution out of them before 6.0 is end of lifed next year, so it doesn't look like it's the same thing.

Yep, just like the Axxess/5000 call routing tables where you define the DID==>Destination pairing.  It requires setting an option in the trunk attributes otherwise the trunk follows the traditional routing options.

I am liking that.

I noticed that they are replacing the 5550 with a full software console aswell

Would be great if someone could come up with an IP/SIP adapter for the old DNIC phones, like the old CITELink gateways. Seems like a shame to force longtime customers to buy all new sets just to stay current.

How would that be possible with DNIC phones?
