UGH! Spent all day intalling over 50 VOIP phones!

[matcom]

crawling under desks all day (in my nice clothes) assembling and installing VOIP phones. x(

sweating my A** off :grr:

i'm going home now. bag this

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. Hey, I don't have my phone yet you slacker!!!!!

Get under that desk before I call the boss!

[matcom]

2. oh no. i'm not falling for THAT one

again x(

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. That's it... I'm putting a Britny Spears bumper sticker on your scooter

[matcom]

4. hit me baby

one more time :D

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. this time I'll use my car

what route do you take home again?

[no name no slogan]

5. Yeah, what was wrong with our old phones

now whenever the network hiccups, I lose my phone. Great plan, that was. :eyes:

Now go get me some coffee, dammit.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

Do not disrespect IT people .........

LOL.

[no name no slogan]

12. It's aright-- I AM an IT person

besides, you guys don't need network access for anything, do you?

:P

16. Somebody has to implement QoS / bandwidth control.

Like HTB or CBQ, so voice packets have a clear path no matter what. Otherwise, the phones ARE going to hiccup whenever someone downloads a large file.

Another BAD BAD BAD idea is using the VoIP phones' ability to cascade the network cable. Just don't. Have them go directly into their own port on the switch.

You & matcom work at the same place?

[no name no slogan]

19. nah-- we're half a continent apart

I just moved into a new building on Monday, with an all new VoIP system. Actually, it's worked pretty well so far, except for one reboot on Monday morning.

However, I know of others whose transition to VoIP has not been as painless as ours...

[matcom]

20. no such luck

the owner has invested in the VOIP company and we get to be their TEST BED :eyes:

our network won't support it at all. christ, we run DUMB terminals! (again, the insistance of the owner who thinks its cool)

large files?

they are mortgage brokers :eyes:

we are doomed.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. Dumb terminals? Of what kind?

Windows TS? Character-mode? X terminals? I'm curious.

[matcom]

23. NeoWare (Win 2003)

he thinks its the 'wave of the future'

people can't understand why when ONE person runs a broker report (that takes 20 minutes) they ALL slow to a crawl.

oh and THAT is WITH 5 full T1's coming in :eyes:

oh yeah, over EIGHT offices @ 200+ users

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. All of them sharing the same CPU?

Ouch.

This "thin client" buzzword is evil. EVIL, I tells ya.

[matcom]

25. well, we are up to 5 terminal servers

but just WAIT till VOIP kicks in :eyes:

[no name no slogan]

22. sweet merciful crap

you now have my complete sympathy. So how much crack does this owner smoke every day, anyway?

[DS1]

6. what?

I can't hear you?

Is the network down I can't print!

[matcom]

8. check your photoshop configurations

that must be the problem

[BigMcLargehuge]

10. I'm having network issues too

I tried rebooting but it didn't work.

[underpants]

9. Hey, do I have to dial 9.....hello? ......anyone?......do I have to dial 9

Anyone

[SIU_Blue]

11. hey, look on the bright side,

you could have come home to your lawn all torn up by tree removal people and your truck moved! :D

[GOPisEvil]

13. They didn't let you ride the scooter home and change?

Bastards! x(

[underpants]

14. .

[underpants]

15. Something tells me the scooter GOT him that task

Who's gonna do THAT?

Eh, let scooter boy do it...hell he brought a helmet with him anyway (everyone laughs)

[GOPisEvil]

17. They were just hoping to sneak a peek of him in his chaps.
