Hi Andrew, Thanks for the info. We are also in a second phone solution based on a cloud hosted Unify pbx which we are going to test right now. I will get an account for the phone part soon. Will report back how that one goes. Migration of that one would be easiest because there we could just move the whole data over.

Cisco used to lock you into a proprietary phone system called Skinny (SCCP) which didn't use SIP. This meant you had to use Cisco hardware and software. When I was using it we were using a Cisco router with a few ISDN-30 links, but we were desperately wanting to use SIP trunks. Even moving to the SIP trunks meant we had to buy a new set of routers and use those as gateways, we couldn't just set up the PBX appliances to gateway out to the SIP trunk. Would be really interested to see if you have looked at M365/Teams voice options.

Thanks for the info. Seems that this pbx isn't all that loved *smile*. I also looked for more advanced settings like codecs. But this seems not available in this version over here.

I used the appliance version of this around 10 years ago which was version 8.6. Similar experience to you, the admin portal works ok but the desktop client is utter garbage. Not long after I left that job it got replaced by Skype for Business. It wasn't really a good fit for our business, we were only a relatively small outfit with around 300 phones and we never could afford the call centre addons for it. We kept it because there was a big investment in the phone hardware which we wanted to keep going until it wasn't supported. We were on version 4.x for ages, which ran on Windows 2003. We only upgraded to 8.6 as it was long out of support and we couldn't find someone to keep it going for us.

At the moment we are testing one from Cisco. I guess it is called Cisco Hosted Communication Service. The admin interface seems to be accessible enough to work with it. At least i looked at adding a device and working with extensions. I also looked at the Cisco Jabber UC client for Windows. Though this seems to be less accessible than the admin interface. It seems to have some accessibility features though it doesn't feel all that accessible using NVDA. Has someone some experience with this system and the client?
