Phone System Update

Some of you may know about this already, however my home has a phone/intercom system where one room and call the other (such as a hotel). Today, I’ve been waiting for this new system update. There are three existing phones, the Polycom VVX 400 (buggy), the Cisco 7821 w/ Multiplatform Firmware, and the Yealink T31P. There will be four new Yealink T21P E2 IP Phones (refurbished from previous use). I will install these four phones in the master bedroom, my room, guest room, and kitchen. The Yealink T31P will be moved from my room to the office, and the Cisco 7821 will be moved from the master bedroom to the downstairs desk (currently at the laundry area). Unfortunately, the phones were locked to the previous owners PBX server, so I am currently waiting for the manufacture “Yealink” to remove the phones from the PBX. I’ve also transitioned to Multicast Paging, since its easier to use and doesn’t put a lot of stress on the server. Paging is when you make an announcement to multiple phones/speakers. However, there are some problems where the Yealink T31P IP Phone won’t be able to send multicast pages due to the weird networking configuration, so I might move back to standard paging. I’ve also created an IVR so I can play custom tones/audio files during paging announcements. I plan on releasing a system tour video on my YT Channel soon. Thanks for reading, I’ll see you next time!
