CyberData Breaks Down IP Rating – What It Means, And Why It Matters For VoIP Paging Equipment

May 20, 2021 by Mary Cheney

Are you thinking about adding IP Paging to your portfolio but nervous to do so? Our partners at CyberData recently launched CyberSchool, which is a great series that is led by the one and only Paul Tuttle! Paul walks through many helpful use case scenarios as well as worst and best practices, so when the time comes to add IP paging products, you’ll be ready!

Paul goes through and defines the difference between water-resistant, water-repellent and waterproof. While you might know the difference, it can be a critical piece of your consultation and ensuring you are provided easy to understand examples is very important.

He also breaks down the IP rating profiles for IP65 and IP66.

Ok, I don’t want to spoil the video so I am going to encourage you to check out this episode of CyberSchool! Paul shows some real life examples of what a good install and bad install looks like. It’s really helpful to see what you should and shouldn’t do in certain situations. Most recently, Paul breaks down the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to preserving the IP rating on CyberData devices.

You can also see a full list of the CyberSchool videos here!

How To Find The IP Address of the Base Station on the Snom M65 & M85

May 14, 2021 by Mary Cheney

Locating the IP address on devices can be tricky if you don’t know where to look! This will vary depending on the product you are using, but for this post, we are going to learn how to find the IP address of the base station on the Snom M65 & Snom M85 phones.

On the M65/M85, press the menu key ; on the M25, press the OK key . The main menu is shown on-screen.
Type *47* on the handset’s keypad.
The handset will detect all base stations within range and show their MAC addresses on the display (Fig. 1). If the handset has detected more than one base, compare them with the MAC address on the type label of your base station to identify and select the right one.
If necessary, scroll to the MAC address of your base station. The selected item is highlighted in blue and expands to also show the IP address of the base station (Fig. 2).

So there you have it, Snom has made it super easy and helpful to locate the IP address of the base station(s) on these devices.

How To Manage A Conference Call on Your VVX 250

May 10, 2021 by Mary Cheney

We tend to do a lot of conference calls these days and one of the really cool and nice features of the Poly VVX 250, VVX 350 and VVX 450 is the ability to manage the conference call right from the phone!

As long as you are the moderator of the conference call you can manage all or individual conference participants by following these steps!

You have two options when managing all participants on the conference call:

Select HOLD to hold all participants.
Select MUTE to mute all participants.

If you want to manage an individual participant because maybe their dog is barking, kid is running around in the background, I mean you name it you have probably heard it in 2020, so to manage the individual follow these steps

Highlight a participant and select MANAGE.
Do on of the following options:
1. Select Far Mute to mute the participant.
2. Select Hold to place the participant on hold.
3. Select Remove to remove the participant from the conference and create a separate call with the participant.
4. Select Information to view information for the participant.

Again, if you are the one in charge of moderating a conference call, it’s really handy to know these simple features. They can help you be the conference call hero when someone forgets to put themself on mute!

If you have additional tips you think would be helpful to our readers feel free to comment!
