asterisk users - Dec 2004 - NEC Univerge

hi * users,

anyone out there ever come across, worked with or heard anything about 
NEC's Univerge SV7000 Telephony Server? Link is at 
http://www.univerge.nec.com/products/list/sv7000/sv7000.html

I'm just wondering whether it's as flexible, programmable and 
configurable as Asterisk.

It also looks like they've got a whole range of IP phones 
(http://www.univerge.nec.com/products/list/ip_pho/ip_pho.html), anyone 
ever used one of these? I wonder what they're going for...

I have one sitting around here, only the SV7000T module though (not the
 SV7000S sip handset server), and a few handsets and media gateways.

 The SV7000 is basically just the CPU module removed from their IPX
 hybrid tdm/voip models for customers that want a 'pure ip' solution.

 The software is pretty much identical to the IPX line of software, so
 its background is traditional PBX as opposed to VOIP switch.

 As such things like having two modules for redudancy with fast failover
 is 100%.   Solid state storage.   If you need to setup some sort of
 large distributed voip system with transparency there are quite a few
 options such as 'fusion' (each nodes as a part of a single-pbx-system,
 but is still capable of self operation), or the surviable remote
 gateway (like redudancy, but remote from the core platform)

 Very mature software, very stable.   However its build from a voice
 perspective, not a data perspective, and its not a open source system.

 The dtermIP telephones are very nice units, however they are not SIP
 telephones, they run NEC's proprietory 'protims' protocol over IP,
 with a few other smarts.

 I managed to get some basic telephony working with a bit of back end
 java 'pretending' I was a protims server, and was thinking of writing
 an asterisk channel, but I think that would be the end of my job *grin*

 Horses for courses.

 Cheers,
   Peter

and the licensing is a joke.  with the MA4000 licensing/ip telephone 
licensing/system size licensing/etc. the costs move rapidly upward as the 
system scales upward in size.  When are these guys going to realize that the 
fact they don't need 'big iron' to support thousands of users means
that the
cost ought to come down.
NEC is 'saying' they are releasing SIP phones but as with anything else
with
NEC (btw-stands for No Equipment Coming) I am not holding my
breath.

so are you ripping off an IP CCIS stream and simulating a CCIS node?  I was 
thinking about trying to put a t-berd on a t-1 CCIS span and seeing if I 
could interpret the sigalling on the common channel to build a CCIS channel 
for * as well but why do that if you can do it over IP?

whatever, IMHO the SV7000 Univerge is a great idea poorly executed.
