To celebrate the release of the new Gigaset 049 Firmware which now enables full compatibility between the A510 handset and N300IP base, we are pleased to announce a new bundled package at a reduced price. The aim of this bundle is to establish the combination of the N300IP base and A510 handset as the natural replacement for the hugely popular Gigaset A580IP. And although there is a small increase in price the new N300IP Firmware allows it to be deployed using our fully automated Provisioning system ProSys and allows 3 simultaneous SIP calls plus one PSTN call.
Because the N300IP can support upto 6 handsets we are also offering up to 5 additional A510H handsets at a reduced price with every A510H and N300IP bundle purchased.
To find out more information about this solution, pricing and to purchase a bundle with up to 5 additional handsets, contact our team on 01484 840048 or send us an e-mail to contact@provu.co.uk

UC = Unified Communications.
So the Snom300 and Snom821 UC editions are now `qualified for use with Microsoft Lync 2010`.
Snom have also launched the UC600. A USB phone which is `optimized for Microsoft Lync`.
For full details on the announcement, see the full UC release.
If you want to place an order, contact your account manager at ProVu.
The main USP of the Snom UC edition phones is that they are a phone for Lync but also a full open standards SIP phone. This gives a few options:
So buy the Snom UC edition to have a phone which is both a stand alone SIP phone and a UC phone for Lync. Protect your investment by buying open standards.
They are not a switch. They do nothing with the data. You still need a switch port to connect each power port to.
For each powered port they have an in and out socket.
in = data only to connect to the switch or router.
out = power and data to connect to IP phone or other Poe device.
When you are using the 8,16 or 24 port version you would usually need a set of short patch cables to connect all the in ports to the switch.
So why not just buy a POE switch?
1) Size. The spans aren’t very deep so will fit in most networking cabinets. Many POE switches are full depth devices
2) to power an existing switch. If you have made an investment in switches, you can add power without throwing away. For many high end managed switches, separate power can be cheaper than a powered switch to the same specification.
3) if you just want to power some ports.
Yealink have recently issued “Technical Bulletin 01/11” which advises on security vulnerabilities. The bulletin advises users to upgrade phones to the latest firmware versions and also gives advice on the importance of changing default passwords.
We have attached the Technical Bulletin and a link to the location of latest firmware versions, http://www.yealink.co.uk/downloads/
ProVu Communications take the security of the products it sells very seriously and we would strongly advise that you follow the advice given by Yealink. If you need help or advice on any of these matters please do not hesitate to call our technical support team on 01484 840048
Additionally we may be able to help you deploy these changes to your Yealink handsets remotely using our Prosys phone management system. Prosys phone management will allow you to remotely access your CPE to change firmware versions and generate passwords amongst many other things. Again if you would like further information please contact ProVu Communications on 01484 840048.
