VoIP for Small Office

Hi all-
I am new to VoIP technology and currently working on a study for the business on deploying VoIP. Our business is small and currently is connected to the interent via DSL. We do have some Cisco routers and would like to know what is involved in deploying VoIP for our small office!
Thanks in advnace,
sK

You need a router in the branch. As small as an 857 or 877 can do. The difference is that the 857 doesn't support QoS, VLAN and other features, beside that will work fine. The following url will help you:

Perfect router for small office (2-3 peoples)

Hello,
I'm trying to find the most cost effective VoIP solution for one of our small branch offices. This office will have no more than 3 peoples, but each person requires to have a PC and Cisco IP phone (voicemail, multiple line, direct inbound, pstn dial out and etc).
Building will provide ethernet hand-off for internet access (part of T1 I guess) so we are planning to create VPN connection between our data center and the local gateway.
As for the PSTN connection, 2 POTS will be provided by LEC. Gateway should be able to accomodate 4 Ports FXO module.
What would be the smallest but the best router can handle firewall/VPN/IP Voice/PSTN for the small office?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Hi,
What drives the price up a bit is the FXO requirement. Cisco used to have a router small as the 1751V, but it is EOL now, so the smaller you can get is a 2801. The price is almost the same but the earlier model was a bit more office-friendly due the box shape and size, while the 2801 is a classic rack box 1 unit.
The good thing with the 2801 is that it supports POE (optionally), so if you put one 4 or 9 port ethernet switch (HWIC) in the router, your phones can work without the external power supply.
You can configure the voice system be totally controlled by the router itself with the embedded CCME, or be part of company's CallManager (now CommunicationManager)
Can I give you another advice, try to get ISDN BRI preferentially instead of FXO. You will have all the features like DID, caller-ID, and much easier setup a diagnostic in the router. Plus, if you add a WIC-1B/ST you can also have ISDN backup using the same data facilities.

Making powermac G4 MDD for data center for small office server

Hi mac expert,
i had a small office which need to pool every data audio and metadatas ( wav, mp3, flac, mp4, mov, ms office xls, docs, jpeg, tiff ) into 1 place or hard disk that can be access from any macs and pcs in the same office.
i have 2 units G4 1Ghz MDD (bus speed 133mhz, both has 2 gb of RAM, a 120 gb of HD internal installed.
i upgrade one of those with DP 1,42ghz and 2TB of SATA hard disk that attached to PCI SATA Sonnet card.
installed mac osx 10.5.8 leopard.
airport extreem card installed.
my questions:
- How big a hard drive can I get? I installed a 2TB drive with no partion, but sometimes when i open the disk it gave me spinning cursor and it show no items on that drive, got freeze and can not turn of by shutdown menu, i have to press the power button of the mac itself.
- if i want to make a data center like what i mention above using powermac G4 that i had, what should i do?
- should i install leopard server os?
thank you so much.

VPN for small office - 2811 vs RV series

Hello all
Need advice
I have a question regarding what equipment to use for a small remote office.
We currently have
5 users
5 7941 Phones
1 2811 (Serial, 2 FXS and 1 FXO)
1 3560g
All voice devices are controlled from a CUCM 9 in our main offices. The 2811 is also an MGCP gateway.
They currently connect via a T1, which management wants to disconnect due its high cost, the T1 is connected to a 2811 (C2800NM-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M) with the serial port and analog lines, behind the router we have a 3560G 24 port (POE) with everybody connected to it.
They have asked me to find out if its possible to switch them to a site to site VPN and possibly replace the 2811 and 3560g with a much smaller device perhaps an all in one.
I have been looking around and I havent seen any small business router that meets our needs. A fellow tech suggested looking into the RV series routers but I just don't see the devices providing voice services.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Assuming you have a Cisco 2800/3800 series or better at the main office, I would stick with the 2811 router and do a site to site VPN tunnel. You can actually register the phones across the tunnel and then use SRST for fallback when the tunnel drops. Of course, that will prevent the phones from making and receiving calls without the tunnel, but they will at least be able to talk to each other. If you are really concerned with having at least one working phone when the internet connection goes down at the remote office, you could buy one POTS line from the telco and run it to your FXO port. That line would be used for emergency calls only in the event the tunnel drops. Regardless, the 2811 is way more powerful than the RV series (excluding the wireless part on one of the RV models).

Best way to secure Aironet 1200 for small office

We are getting ready to install 4 aironet 1200 AP's into an office that will only be used by 5 people with T43 Thinkpads (Intel 2200 built-in card).
What is the best method to secure the connection and prevent the outside world from accessing our internal network?
I don't feel WEP/WPA encryption is enough -- Would be interested in using the built in security that comes with the Aironet and not an external security server, yet.
Any info or push in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could pretty easily use the "local" RADIUS built-in to the AP firmware and implement LEAP or EAP-FAST.
Both are pretty easy to set up, the AP can handle that small load without any real performance issues, and the Intel client software supports it (you'll want to make sure all the client software and drivers are the most recent, there were some issues in the past).
Both LEAP and EAP-FASt will support seamless roaming, You'd set one of the APs up for WDS and the others to point to it.
Admin (add/change/delete users) via the Web GUI is also pretty straight forward.
Good Luck

OpenSUSE vs Ubuntu for small office

I might install on two computers (running windows xp now) linux. The computers are used for editing texts (Ms Office now). What would you suggest me OpenSUSE, Ubuntu or something else? It has to be a user-friendly distribution.

Then imho it depends on who has to maintain the system, not on who will use it.
Eg my mom never installs a package or changes a setting herself, so I gave her Arch because I have to administer it and I think Arch is the best for that.
My uncle does want to install packages himself and change his setup him self (without doing too "advanced" things such as using the CLI) so I gave him fedora.
Dieter spoke my mind, that's a very good point!

APC Power Backup Advice for Small Office

I wasn't sure where to post this but I was hoping someone would not my pointing me to the right forum or offering some advice.
I am trying to put the finishing touches on a conversion to mac and have been looking at buying a Power Backup in part for the power part (no crashes and safe shutdown) but also for surge protection.
I have a MacPro (and a monitor), a Time Machine (for the MBP), 2 - 1TB WD externals, a 500 GB Iomega External (for the MBP), a 3DConnection spaceball device and 2 printers on the "desktop". And then I have a 1 TB Seagate External that I keep plugged in on another table for backing up the MacBookPro now and then.
A. Is there anything else (other than temporary power and surge protection) I should be looking for when purchasing such a piece of hardware?
B. Should I be getting everything on the "desktop" plugged in to a backup device such as this and if so how do I calculate which device to buy?
C. Is it a crime to leave the 1 TB Seagate that is not conveniently located off this backup/surge protection system? I suppose it would be wise to unplug it and only plug it in when I am running a backup?
TIA for any advice. It's been a long haul and I'd love to make sure I am finishing this with some pro level advice/approval.

Hi Jon,
...C. Is it a crime to leave the 1 TB Seagate that is not conveniently located off this backup/surge protection system? I suppose it would be wise to unplug it and only plug it in when I am running a backup?- external hard drives use very little power, you can keep it plugged in to the power back up or not. Since you're not using it often, the odds of it suffering a surge power problem are rare...
A couple of things to consider in that scenario: first, while it's not necessarily true of all external drives, some, such as LaCie, are noted for the early failure of their power bricks. Since I've been using a LaCie power brick for over ten years without a problem, I suspect that's because it's not connected to a power source except when it's in actually in use. Even when an external drive is not actually spinning, the power source is still live and perpetual cooking is probably not good for its health. I follow that rule with all devices that use power bricks, including Seagate and WD external backup drives and no brick has ever quit.
Second, the Seagate external drives I've used tend to run very hot because of poor or nonexistent ventilation. Indeed, the SMART record of one of them showed a heat failure with a 155 degree F. reading "in the past." Especially if leaving the drive plugged in means the drive is actually on, keeping it unplugged except when it's in use is a good idea.

Power shell to restore recoverable items for multiple office 365 users

Dear Friends,
I would like your help to see the possibilities of recovering all the deleted items from deleted folder of all my users, by mistake a retention policy was applied on the mailbox level and it moved all items older than 90 days to the deleted items folder.
A quick response will be much appreciated, i am trying to follow this process of recoverdeleteditems.ps1 but nothing works out.I was thinking to use search-mailbox but couldn't gather a proper syntax to move items to the inbox of same
mailbox.
Thanks in advance.

Shaik,
You said you've used the script recoverdeleteditems.ps1. I assume you mean the script from this location: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/emeamsgdev/archive/2012/04/27/powershell-script-to-recover-all-deleted-items-in-a-mailbox.aspx
Can you tell us what it is you are exactly doing, and what is happening? Also error messages are welcome.

UPS suggestions for small office

I have four Mac Pro workstations and recently experienced a power outage. Two designers lost about an hours work each. Finally decided to bite the bullet and buy UPS systems for all the workstations. Any suggestions?
All are Mac Pro stations with 26" LCD monitors, external 500g hard drives (one station has 3 backup 1 terabyte drives for video). I only need these to run 15-30 minutes after an outage to save the files.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Insure that you are running off a circuit that can handle the load. Adding 4 UPS of 1500VA won't help, and to have 20-30 minutes, I went with an extra battery pack which added 1 hr (now have 75 minutes but there are times when even 15 minutes isn't enough, and 40 minutes was more realistic).
But you probably want to look at something that would cover patch into your electrical circuit(s) more than just add stand alone units for each. That would be cheaper and easier, under $2k, but a large rackmount that would provide 3000VA costing $8k and up (more like $12k) is what I would contemplate.

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way. Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.

Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

Hello,
I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

Looking for advice on small office use ...

I'm looking for options to share our photo library in a small office environment. Essentially we have a single person (ie, our photographer) who is responsible for maintaining our program's photo library. What we're looking for is a way for him to very easily "publish" the photos which would allow other staff in our environment to quickly find and use images when necessary. We're a pure mac environment, although our photographer is currently a bridge / CS3 user (ie, not Aperture). I'm an experience Aperture user at home, and I'm trying to see if it could be used in a shared environment.
If not - does anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Paul

Tell us about your "shared environment." I assume the various Macs are connected via a local network. Do you have a dedicated server? (A mac that is used to store files and is always on - that all other macs can access via cable or wireless.)
If so, it seems that Aperture may be the wrong app for this. Since "everyone else" just needs to access pictures that the photographer has adjusted (using AP), what you need is software that accesses a "library" of image files. I'm thinking of something like the old iViewMedia Pro (now MS Expression Media, yes it's available for the Mac). So, basically you need a good DAM (digital asset management) app for everyone to use.
What I envision is this (not sure if this is the workflow you are thinking about) - photog processes RAW or other image formats in AP and exports adjusted images to jpg or tiff. These are then stored in some folder hierarchy. "The DAM Book" discusses a strategy for this - folders in the
<year>
<month>
<day>
hierarchy, but you can use some other organization like
<year>
<subject>
Once the photog has processed the images and exported the final products, you import each new batch of images into each of the DAM software on each Mac. This software should be able to read metadata like keywords (you'd have to be sure the AP exported image files have XMP sidecar files or DNG files with embedded metadata that includes keywords - keywords are the important data you really need for everyone to use when searching for images). Unfortunately, DNG is still not well supported in AP, it's better handled in Lightroom. However, others here may want to add some ideas. I believe you can add some metadata like keywords directly inside other image file formats (tiff, jpg??). Don't know if AP handles this.
At any rate, look into Expression media or something similar that others here might suggest.
