IPexpert Announces FREE Lab Software from Unified FX.

IPexpert is pleased to announce that it has formed a partnership with UnifiedFX (www.unifiedfx.com) in order to allow all CISCO IP telephony students and practitioners the use of the PhoneView application at zero cost (Retail Price $499).

PhoneView is the hottest IP telephone remote control and estate management tool on the market today. Currently managing CISCO sites of up to 30,000 phones and proven in global enterprise environments, it is a vital tool for IP telephony management functions, professionals and students.

This special lab edition of the PhoneView application is specifically designed for (but not restricted to) students preparing for the CCIE Voice lab exam.

Candidates studying for the CCIE Voice that do not own their own hardware have historically used Proctor Labs rack rental sessions to gain the hands-on experience necessary to adequately prepare for the grueling CCIE Voice lab exam.

More than 500 engineers who have cleared the CCIE Voice exam have prepared in this way with Proctor Labs.

Typically candidates use physical phones that connect to the remote racks via EzVPN through a supported router. The PhoneView application will enhance the end user experience since the Cisco 7962 and 7960 phones that are located in the Proctor Labs racks can be remotely controlled via the PhoneView application. This can either reduce (or potentially eliminate) the need for customers to invest in the out of date 79XX phones that are required to study for the lab.

A single instance of PhoneView software can be used to manage multiple phones connected to multiple clusters. Multiple instances of software and/or multiple windows/tabs are not necessary each time one wishes to remotely manage a new device. This makes the PhoneView software much more scalable and usable to solve real world problems. Proctor Labs customers will be able to see all of their CUCM and CUCME devices (both SIP and SCCP also applicable for SRST) in a single window. Currently users are not able to hear the audio when calling into applications such as Voicemail or Contact Center but this capability is just around the corner!

The ability to create macro’s to perform certain keystrokes is a great time saving tool and will make your testing of certain services / features much more efficient. For example the user can create a macro to enter the Received Calls Log of one of the 7962 phones housed in Proctor Labs, for example, to check for the globalized / + number). Therefore this can be done with one command as opposed to having to press directories, wait for refresh, scroll down to received calls, wait for refresh, select received calls and wait for another refresh.

The application can be used to control phones connected to all versions of CUCM including the most recent version (CUCM 8.5) as well as all versions of CUCME. PhoneView also supports all of the latest IP Phone models such as the 69xx, 89xx & 99xx range and is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
