Integration of Telephone Switch - Mac Network

We have a 15 user LAN, all using Macbook. I am looking for a system that lets making phone calls directly from the computers through the telephone switch, which is Alcatel OmniPCX Office.
Alcatel (and other brands such as Siemens and Avaya) supports CTI, but only for Windows platform.
Does anyone have any idea or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Your switch is likely to have many MAC addresses.
If you do a show interface for each of the interfaces, you will probably find that each one has a different MAC address.
There is one "master" MAC address for the switch, known as the Bridge ID.  You can see that be doing a show spanning-tree and looking for the "Bridge ID" (not necessarily the Root ID).
If you do a show mac-address-table, those are not the MAC addresses of your switch, but the MAC addresses of the things attached to your switch, together with the ports they are attached to.
Does that help?

  • Logic nodes over switched ether-network?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to setup a 3-mac network as well as takng the leap from to Logic from Cubase.
    Can anyone tell me if the Logic-node system will work over an ether-network (via a switch) or does it have to be a direct Mac-Mac connection?
    Also, over what length cable run might latency be introduced?
    I may also want to use FX-Teleport over the network when it becomes available for the Mac. The same questions apply...will it work via a switch?
    And at what point might Midi/Audio latency be an issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Colin, just to reassure you, I just bought a cheap D-Link 10/100/1000 8 port switch and replaced by old 10/100 one. I replaced the two cables (Powerbook and G5) with proper Cat5e ones and my node works just fine at opposite ends of the house. Luckily the house wiring I installed was Cat5e already. For some reason Logic has trouble compensating for latency on the EXS24 sampler, but all the other processes seem to have no latency at all. I tested the two machines in the same room with 1 metre CAT5e cables, and the latency is exactly the same. One thing to watch is that even when Logic tells you that it is processing particular tracks on the node, it actually doesn't seem to lessen the CPU load on the host until it absolutely has to. One particular song of mine has about 80% CPU on my Powerbook, and at one point in the song would very often stop with an overload message. Now with the node engaged it STILL shows 80% host CPU, but the difference is that when I reach the dangerous part, Node activity shows up on the meter, and I don't get the error. Cool!

  • PC22224 switch fails on boot with message "Invalid switch MAC address"

    Ok moderators, I know this is a nonsupported product, but you moved all Switch messages to the archive.  This seemed to be the most appropriate folder for it.  Hope that's ok?
    I have a NEW (can you believe it?) PC22224 managed Cisco/Linksys switch with a problem.  When it boots, it passes all tests until it is almost ready to run, then I get this message:
    Checking file integrity..... Done
    Decompressing Code Image.... Done
    System PANIC.....
    Invalid switch MAC address
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?  I can find nothing on it anywhere on the web.
    Thanks in advance!

  • I do not want to switch wireless networks

    No, Airport Utility, I do not want to switch wireless networks to get my Time Capsule mounting again. This is because if I switch wireless networks, the network will go spinning its little time wheel of nothingness forever and ultimately report that it cannot find the Time Capsule it switched for. On the other hand, if I choose not to switch, it insists that there's nothing to be done with the Time Capsule that's right up top, all by itself, in the Airport wireless devices in the network.
    All I want is for my Time Capsule to stop having these fits where it decides it won't join the network that already exists, that is already quite happy, and that it does not need to be the base station for. What is the problem that keeps making it go off into these fits where it won't join the network and won't let any network join it? And why does this keep happening? And what will stop it short of throwing the Time Capsule out the window?

    Due to logistics, I attempted to configure via wireless connection. The AirPort utility recognized the AirPort Express only after I pressed the reset button on the Express. It then showed up and I went through the setup dialogs regarding joining an existing network (my Airport Extreme) which it found. I configured the Airport Express using no security, as I was not sure which to choose and I was told there was an issue with my older Mac and working with the newer security protocol. The dialog box indicated that the configuration was complete, "The settings for this Airport Express have been successfully updated.. You can close the window or wait for the Airport Express to restart." I waited for about 5 minutes and it did not restart. I then closed and reopened the AirPort utility and it indicated that it could not locate any wireless devices, neither of the AirPort devices showed up. I tried relaunching the AirPort Utility several time with the same results. I then rebooted my machine and launched the AirPort Utility; it identified my Airport Extreme but not the AirPort Express.
    In order to connect via ethernet I would have to remove the AirPort Express from the location from which I intend to use it and connect it adjacent to my computer. What about losing or changing supposed retained settings by unplugging and moving each time? The ethernet connector currently runs between my cable modem and my AirPort extreme. This means getting a 2nd cable or disconnecting my AirPort Extreme to use the existing cable. Do I need to have this connected when trying to configure the AirPort Express? By turnoff the wireless I think you mean using the software to turn it off and not pulling the wireless card in my computer. I am a little confused why the AirPort Utility can only identify the AirPort Express only after I press the reset button on the Express.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I recently upgraded my iMac to 10.9.2 Nothing but problems since. Cannot connect reliably to a mixed pc/mac network at work, hangs at start up, hangs at shut down. Please help!

    Can anyone offer suggestions as to why since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 I can no longer access a mixed pc/mac network? Previous to the upgrade, I did not have any problems. Other macs within my office can still access it, so I know it is not a network based issue. It exists in my machine only, and the other matching machine that exists in the office did NOT do the upgrade and has no problems. (Bummer for me)
    I have:
    Reset the PRAM
    Reset the SMC
    Turned off the network Wifi and rebooted, then turned it on again, still ridicously slow when I try and connect to shared pc server. I can connect to other macs though.
    Seems to alternate between a normal start up time, and a ridicously slow start up time with no apparent connecting reason as to why
    I have a shared HP Laser printer on the network that is working with other computers accessing it, perhaps this is the conflict? It is in Wifi mode, but the software is loaded on my computer. However, prior to the upgrade, I had no problems.
    My mail crashed shortly after installing 10.9.2, but I did finally get that up and running, but sometimes it loads and tells me that there is "No Mailbox Selected" in the initial opening Mail window. This is new, it never used to do that. I can select "Inbox" and see my mail, but I never used to need this step.
    When I try and access the shared network that has always worked previously, it now will not load the shared docs and folders, just sits there, and hangs. Sometimes it will load the folders after about 5 minutes, but will not allow me to open them.
    I do not run any virus protection software.
    Any ideas? I would be infinitely grateful for suggestions.

    Your download or install of the update may have been corrupt. Visit the Mac App Store and re-download the update or visit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 and download the 10.9.2 update combo and re-install.
    If that fails to solve the problem please post back and post a EtreCheck Report which you can locate at:

  • I tried, but ... Mac Network & Win-7 PC

    OK, I start with "I Know..." look thru old posts to find answers.......
    Just Spent last 4 Hours doing that. I understand how frustrating it can be to keep answering the same questions (Really Do) but a Great Fix for that would be finding Some Way to make it possible for us to FIND those old posts we are supposed to look for. I have read countless "Close, but not quite" discussions. I give up.
    I'm assuming after entering all my machines in the database you can see those at the bottom of the post?? (I have seen others posts that had these details) to save space, I wont repete all that here other than to say I have MANY Apple Products (Phone, Pad, TV, Laptop, Mini...) and they all work & play with each other with fluid ease...... then there is the ONE... PC Laptop. Running Win-7.
    NOTE: ALL of this is INSIDE My Home Network (Apple Time Machine Wireless) so no Internet stuff should be necessary.
    I'm sure it is asking way too much, but I sure would like to be able to use the PC like any of my other mac's. I have managed to share a drive (External HDD) from the Mac Mini (Lion) and by "Mapping a Network Drive" on the PC it ...sometimes connects on it's own, when it doesn't it's simple enough to log back in and get it back but ....
    As an example, with my Mac Book Pro. I can SEE all the other devices, Log into them, Share print & data and "Screen Share" to remotely administer (eg. the Mini from the Laptop)........... What I'm looking for is those same abilities on the PC.
    ("Why don't you just buy another Mac Laptop?" - Send me a check for a Couple of Grand, and I will. Other than that, I have to work with what I have. The only "Extra" Computer I have is the PC) Just trying to make some lemonaid out of this lemon. OK?
    Frankly the only posts I found even close seemed to be about making a lone Mac work on an existing PC Workgroup Network. This is the Flip Side, One Lone PC is a world of Mac's. I have to admit my PC skills are rusty. I was a PC Guy that got "Converted" used to know Lots of the in's & out's of the PC's, but that was about 4 Operating Systems Ago (2000 & XP-Pro) I find I now feel like a Newbie again plodding along in the new MS OS again.
    Being able to see the other machines would be a plus, connecting to all the drives & my NAS would be Great, but the Screen Sharing would be my Top Wish (If it's even possible) My various Mac's often do work that is LONG Running (sa Rendering Long Video Files, etc.) that can run on their own for long periods and Occasionally Need just a Nudge from me to get started again. This is why the Screen Share is a Big Deal for me. Do some work, Check in on #1, start it's next process, log out, check on #2, move some files and begin a new Process, log out, check on #3, then go back to work.... and I'm Not Always at my desk, so being able to quickly Pop in & out of each machine is a BIG PLUS for me.
    I tried some Remote Desktop Software a while back when I was trying to connect my iPad to my Home Mac Network from Outside my home and discovered I knew Less than Squat about that. Tried & Failed to get software to work even after several emails with the developer of the APP. I couldn't even understand what he was talking about (and I have a CS Degree ??... OK an Old One on Main Frames, not PC's but I'm no Dummy and he was talking WAY over my head) So I pretty much gave up on that option.
    If you have the answers? Appreciate the Info,
    Even if all you have is links to other posts that have what I'm looking for? Great Too
    Thanks

  • Looking for Mac network professional to setup our small business network.

    I've installed OS X Server on an iMac within our office to act as a file server and also allow us to access files using a VPN.  Probably should have purchased a Mac Mini Server and will likely go that route in the end. 
    I'm computer savy, but little networks experience and just can't get this working correctly. If we had more time to dedicate to this and with help from this forum, I'm sure we could get it up and running.  The goal is to get a simple network going that will allow us to access files, etc in the field and at our home offices with the ability to grow as our business expands.
    At this time I'd really like to have someone just handle the setup of the network so we can get functionality asap.  I've done some searches and looked for a network professional in our area with experience in Mac networking within a business environment, but haven't had much luck.
    If anyone point me in a direction of someone that can help get this going I'd be forever greatful:)

    I'm not a rocket scientist but I do have a working mail server and website using a mini mac and os x server (Mavericks).
    It all begins with your DNS and I recommend you do use a mac mini with OS X Server as it's designed for that very purpose. You absolutely must get your DNS situation working first. There's a guy in this forum named Mr. Hoffman who is particularly useful (there are others) in this area. He has a website with lots of helpful advice and, in particular, this: http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436.
    However, before you embark on that journey, this is what you'll basically need to do:
    You're going to need a public (external/public facing) DNS and a private (internal) DNS. Your private DNS (served by your os x server) needs to live behind some kind of hardware firewall/router to prevent the great unwashed and curious from venturing into places they probably shouldn't be venturing. It's port(s) should never be exposed to the outside world.
    Get a static IP from your ISP and register a domain name.
    Let your domain registrar provide the external DNS.
    You'll want to set up an internal DNS using OS X Server in the 10.0.0.0/16 subnet (it doesn't seem to let you use 10.0.0.0/8 and it really hates 192.168.0.0/24).
    The server itself will need to be "self-aware" by setting it's System Preferences > Network Preferences > DNS Server to 127.0.0.1.
    Of course, once you get the DNS working you'll want to turn on File Sharing and then (and only then) Open Directory. THen you can begin adding other services such as web, mail, vpn, etc...
    I'm sure there is lots more that I've missed but this should do for now. Good luck.

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

  • Dell connection to a Mac network....NOT WORKING!

    OK, here is the situation. I am a Mac user and was given a old Dell with Windowz XP Pro. I already have a Mac network with two macs and a printer. They both can connect to my DSL perfectly. When I was given the Dell, I figured I wanted to connect it my existing network. This is where the problem comes in. First I have no idea how to do this. Second, I connect the Dell to the router. The Dell will not connect to the Network. But when i plug in the wire to the router, the network just, stops for the macs. So there I sit trying to figure out how to make this work with no internet for all computers. Basically I want my Dell on my already established Mac network so that my Dell can connect to the internet and everything like that, and still use my macs.
    Help would be the greatest!

    Are you connecting all of these with LAN cables or wirelessly? In order for the MACs to communicate with the Dell, you need to turn on 'windows sharing' from the 'sharing' folder in the 'system preferences'.
    It's difficult to troubleshoot this kind of problem because there could be a number of different issues. Is the Dell able to connect to the internet if all of the macs are disconnected? What kind of router are you using? Have you tried configuring the router? If not, go onto the internet and read the through the FAQ section for your router. Perhaps you could run a program on the Dell to get it to work..
    You need to be very methodical in how you attack this problem. Try the dell connected directly to the modem. Does it work? If not, there might be a problem with your ethernet cable. If it does, then try connecting the dell only to the router. Does it work? If not, then you need to follow the steps from your router and configure the router and computer so that it will work. Once that works, add the macs. Do they work? etc.
    Good luck.

  • Excel files not available across an all mac network

    All the excel files in my public folder are not accessible across a two machine all Mac network. Word files will open. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I know this is going to sound weird, but I spent the last two days figuring this out. I recently bought the teacher's Edition of Office 2004 so I could have the same version of Office on 3 of my Macs and after installation that's when Excel quit working over my home network. The previous versions of Office up to X didn't exhibit this behavior. So after looking at Apple's and Microsoft's sites and user groups and getting no answer that worked, I looked at my machines to see what the differences might be. The thing that tripped my trigger was two of my Macs had the same named hard drive and one didn't, and it was that one that was named differently that could see one of the other two. So look at the name under your hard drive icons (by default it's named Macintosh Hard Drive). If they are the same, rename one of them (the name can be anything just as long as it's not Macintosh Hard Drive). I would name them something to differentiate them like Will's iBook or Will's iMac. I don't have a programmers understanding of why this worked, but my scientific wild *** guess (S.W.A.G) is it's an Excel naming convention gaffe. It appears that Excel thinks there are no others on the network because all the hard drives are named the same. Word doesn't do this so I'm guessing that instead of looking for m.a.c. addresses or your network DNS/IP numbers, Excel is looking for hard drive names to distinguish users on the network. If I'm anywhere close to right, this is really dumb! Try it and see if this solves you problem.

    On a Mac-to-Mac network both Mac connect to the same network. However, after activating the file sharing both Mac's don't show in the Finder of the other.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions!
    If just clicking in the 'Network' icon in Finder doesn't work try:- from finder hit command/shift/K or 'Go' network. That should get the other computer showing in the finder of the first.
