It certainly is Cisco's fault ...... they allowed that vendor to become a Cisco dealer!

I have a customer that had a UC560 ..... until the vendor told them in order to program the system for the PRI they had ordered it would require the system to be removed from service for a week and sent out to someone to program. When he told me this i told him i could walk him through programming a PRI on systems i sell in about 30 seconds.

Really??

What is a business supposed to do without their phone system for a week??

In the time it took their old vendor just to program a PRI we had ordered and installed a brand new system and he put the UC 560 in the garbage.

And the reason he went to Cisco in the first place was that the vendor / sales rep promised that 5 or so advanced applications would work ..... NONE of them did.

Welcome to phones from the computer industry!
