Technicolor TG582 router refresh

The Technicolor TG582 ADSL router that we have sold for a few years has just undergone a slight refresh.

https://www.provu.co.uk/technicolor-tg582.html

The old part code TG582NPRO is now out of stock.

The new part code is TG582N_SB.

This new model is identical in every way except it doesn’t have a USB port on the side any more.

The USB port could be used for:

    • 3G modem for backup
    • USB printer server
    • simple NAS with a USB hard drive

So be aware, you wont be able to do these things with the new version but everything else remains the same.

Our pre-configuration service for these routers remains unchanged as well.

We are also in the process of testing the TG589VN router which is a more powerful Technicolor router we think will be good for those using Fibre-to-the-cabinet services where the throughput of the TG582 isn’t up to the job. We should be launching this product soon. Worth noting that it does have a USB port on it.

Mitel 6865i and Plantronics EHS Headset

The following guide shows how to connect a Plantronics CS520 (This will also apply to the other headsets in the CS500 series) headset to the Mitel 6865i desk phone to allow EHS functionality (the making and hanging up of calls via the headset button).

As well as the CS520 headset and the 6865i phone you will also need a Plantronics APS-11 EHS Cable.

1) Connect the APS-11 cable to the back of the CS520 stand, using the end of the cable that has both an RJ45 connector and a 3.5mm jack connector. Both connectors should be plugged in to the respective ports on the back of the stand.

2) Plug the other end of the APS-11 cable into the RJ45 socket on the back of the Mitel phone, you will need to remove the plastic spacer clip from the socket on the phone in order for it to fit. Please refer to the user manual for help with this.

3) Finally, you need to change some settings on the Mitel phone to enable the EHS functionality. Make the following changes via the menu on the handset itself (press the button with the gear icon to open the menu):

i) Go to Preferences – Set Audio – Audio Mode. Select Headset from the list and press the tick button to confirm.

ii) Go to Preferences – Set Audio – DHSG. Select the “DHSG is On” option and press the tick button to confirm.

That’s it! The headset should now be able to make and receive calls using the EHS functionality.

If you have purchased these products from Provu, and can not get this to work, please contact our support team at support@provu.co.uk and we will be happy to help!

Shipping Improvements

Today we have updated the order form in prosys for our trade customers. We now have some more flexible shipping options.

There are 2 main changes.

Automatic pricing for exotic destinations

Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight.

The order form will now correctly price shipments to all of the above destinations on APC, DPD and Parcelforce.

If you have a larger consignment going to these destinations, then it is worth giving our sales office call to check if we can get a better quote.

DPD

We now offer DPD as an alternative shipping option.

We have used APC as our primary UK courier for many years. They offer a really good service and good systems integration.

But we had some customers who wanted an alternative option.

DPD offer:
– an SMS with a 1 hour delivery window
– Competitive prices to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Isle of Man on a 2 day service.
– More detailed online tracking.

Things to note:
1) Cut off for DPD is 3pm. APC is 5pm.
2) DPD not so price competitive on larger shipments.
