Mitel User Group 2012 Membership Renewal
Membership Renewal in winding down and the Annual conference is just one of the many "members only" benefits of your Mitel User Group membership. We've held the rates flat this year so membership is still extremely affordable but your benefits continue to grow with the expanded Special Interest Group program, eNews and discussion forum. Your access to Mitel Online is a valuable tool that no user should live without. And most important of all; the networking and interaction with your fellow users is priceless.

Rafic's Tech Tip |
In the release 4.1.22 UCA client you can program the feature key/button on the desktop set through the UC client under "My Account"
In order to do that, Make sure the desktop phone has PC connectivity enabled. Select your desktop phone. You will get option "Connect" Put in the ip address of desktop phone and password, click connect. After connection established, you can see the available personal keys on the desktop phone and program it. When you program the speed call key, the MCD support # or * in the speed call string. But this version UCA doesn't support them. The workaround will be to program the speed call key from the ESM or directly on the phone by pressing the superkey. The UC client call window does support # or *. You can dial a speed call string with # or *.

VMware Partner Exchange (PEX): Riding the partnership wave with the leader in virtualization helped Mitel secure over 18 media stories at PEX in Las Vegas, with a focus on Mitel's virtual solution with Contact Center integration into VMware View. Both days of keynotes by VMware saw mention of Mitel from VMware executives addressing an audience of over 10,000 people. We knew something was going on when we'd get a rush of visitors after each keynote. We continue to see great support from VMware, as exemplified in this latest blog posting http://bit.ly/xHaf9E.
