A2Q process / program ?

Hi - I am trying to help out a customer with an IPCC design and the customer wants to use a non-Cisco session border controller (SBC).    The customer is telling me that he might not be able to use a non-Cisco product in the IPCC design because this product has not been through the A2Q process.     I have read through the information on the A2Q program but I really can not tell if it is applicable to this situation.     Does anyone know how A2Q applies to the potential use of third-party equipment in the A2Q design?
Thanks !

Hi David - The third-party device is an Acme Packet SBC.     We know this SBC works fine with CVP as this device has been successfully deployed with other IPCC customers.  However, this SBC has not been used in a A2Q approved design before (at least to my knowledge).       Because Acme Packet competes with Cisco for the SBC business, I am not sure how accommodating Cisco would be in certifying a competing device for the SBC role.    Maybe some others on this message board have had more luck or experience in getting the A2Q team to accept third-party devices before.
We have not worked with anyone in Cisco's BU yet but if you have some suggestions on how to do that, I am happy to pursue that path.   I was hoping that the A2Q would have some sort of website where you could fill out a form and get a third-party device approved. 
Thanks again for all of the help !

  • Pages 4.3 was a useful technical word processing program; Pages 5 is not. Does anyone know if Apple intends to improve Pages 5, at least to the level of Pages 4.3?

    We used 4.3 as an effective tool for thesis production but in many ways it has become kind of a simplistic joke. Sad indeed and I wish there was some evidence they were remotely concerned. PeterBreis0807's response of "No" is spot on. We will continue to use 4.3 as long as it works as a time-saving substitute for Word.

    Not quite. Downloading the current version of NeoOffice is definitely not free (downloading the previous version is). The developers of NeoOffice (the most Mac-like of the StarOffice descendants) make a distinction between the application itself (which is free) and downloading it, for which they require what they are pleased to call a "donation" (since it's mandatory, I would call it a fee).

    Would that include the report on the state of the US economy -- you know, the one President Obama asked you to deliver to the White House no later than 7AM on January 4? The one in two columns, with numbered paragraphs, table of contents, footnotes, mathematical formulae, 40 figures, 60 charts, quotations in Arabic, Japanese, and classical Greek, and 15 pages of references in APA style?
    Grant Bennet-Alder is right -- "the real answer depends on what work you expect to do with it, and with whom you expect to do this work". There are dozens of word processors for Mac, from the venerable Word to the no less venerable Tex-Edit+. It would pointless to start listing them all, when many of them might be either too little or too much for your needs.

  • How do I make Pages the default word processing program?

    How do I make Pages the default word processing program, including Appleworks files?
    I want any Appleworks file I open to open in Pages - is there a setting to make that happen?

    Hello ADW,
    To change the default programme used to open a filetype, Get Info on one of the files you are looking to set, the change the Open With selection to Pages.
    Then click on Use this application to open all documents like this one.
    You will have to repeat this for each file type you want to use that way.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • In order to run Dragon, we upgraded our OSx to Maverick. Now we can't find our word processing program and Appleworks 6 is not supported. Doesn't a word processing program come with the upload of Maverick?

    We upgraded our Mac OS X to a Maverick in order to run a Dragon Program. However, we no longer have a word processing program!  Appleworks is not supported.  Doesn't the upgraded Maverick have a word processing program included?

    Not included.  You can purchase Pages in the App Store, or use a free word processor like Bean or a free office suite like  LibreOffice or OpenOffice (and there's also MicroSoft Office for Mac)

  • What is the best word processing program for mac?

    What is the best word processing program for Mac?

    That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
    Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
    Academic?
    Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
    So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

  • What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

    What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

    I would recommend using Pages for what you are doing. It is the best one to use on the iPad itself, and has the ability to convert to an MS Word format. I know that it can do this through email, but I am also fairly certain you can import it in this format through iTunes, though you may need to convert it on the iPad itself.
    With iOS 5 and iCloud, I recommend kicking Word to the curb altogether and going with Pages on both machines. Not only will everything be more seamless, but iCloud will update the changes you make, on either device, automatically. And Pages is only 20 bucks through the App store for the Mac (OS 10.6.7 or later needed).

    A gazillion.  Pages, docs to go, quick office.  Look in the app store for word processing.  Read the reviews.

  • I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

    I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?  How?

    I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.  
    So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

  • My word processing program (pages) disappeared.  It is not in the trash or Finder.  How do I get it back?  Thanks

    My word processing program (Pages) disappeared.  It is not in the Finder or the Trash and I can no longer open the files created there.  Thank you if you can help?

    Have you tried a Spotlight search (top right of menu bar)? Pages normally resides in Macintosh HD>Applications>iWork folder.
    If it has somehow disappeared have you got the iWork installer disk to re-install, or if you bought it from the Mac App Store you should be able to re-download it without having to pay again.
    Edited to add the 'iWork folder' klaus1 mentioned - I forgot that bit ;)

  • What word processing program should I purchase for iMac

    What word processing program should I purchase for iMac

    Hi
    Pages is very good as a Word Processor but it lacks the ability to do Macros if you continually do a repeat operation.  For me I cut and paste text from another source and it needs reformatting Font; bold, size, colour every time I do it.  It is a real pest.
    Many years ago Word Perfect Mac could do this [still the best wordprocessor interface] also [from memory] Apple Works had the ability to record macros.
    A current MAC wordprocessor to look at which will do pretty much everything INCLUDING MACROS is Nisus Writer.  Express version is $49, Pro version $79 and it has a free 15 day demo.
    Cheers
