We have a 406 R3 V59 with 4 Multitech Call Finder CF220 - Version 1.03. We have tried the DID's as stations, and are now using them as trunks w/ no difference in issues.

Calls to DID's associated w/ digital, analog, and IP sets go right through.

Calls to DID's w/ front-ended Auto ATT have problems (see #2 below)


Issues:

1. Poor call quality on inbound DID calls (echo, low volume, "grainy" reported from callers). Changing settings results in better quality for 1 -3 hrs, then poor again.

2. Calls to Auto Attendant suffer from 8 -10 sec delay before .wav plays, then fail to pass correct DTMF 50-80% of the time, resulting in coverage to timeout option on Menu action.

From outside to DID 5400 > Incoming group 6 > Incoming Call route, all calls to *96 (Shortcode leading to VM Pro Menu Shortcode/Start/Menu action with no entry prompt and touch tones 5??? to $KEY transfer action and a 10 second timeout to our desired Menu action via Goto action.

Call rings once, then answered by Call Finder, then we get an 8 -10 sec delay before hitting the Menu. If we shorten the timeout action, it brings down the time it takes to hit the desired menu a little but results in incorrect or no DTMF on the menu.

Our ditributor's support group says the Multi-techs are "tricky". We are waiting for a callback on their AVAYA SMBS escalation right now.

Thoughts?
 
This wound up w/ AVAYA tier III and Multitech engineers but the end results were unsatisfactory.

We replaced the Multitechs w/ another product from an alternate vendor. I'll get the info from our tech and let the forum know.


 
We installed two of theses and right now they are in the trash...

Sound quality is bad, high delay before ringing to extensions...and lack of support on it...What product did you guys replace the multitech with?
