				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US-CERT National Cyber Awareness System sent out a notification yesterday and revised it today, May 21st entitled &#8220;TA13-141A: Washington, DC Radio Station Web Site Compromises&#8221;.</p>
<p>The document outlines that on May 16th US-CERT was informed that two websites www.federalnewsradio-dot-com and www.wtop-dot-com had been compromised and that redirects had been put in place that would send Internet Explorer users to a package that would install malicious software (an exploit kit). It also highlights the fact that as of May 17th, it was confirmed that this redirect and payload were both removed from those sites.</p>
<p>People who visited those sites while the redirect was in place could be potentially compromised themselves.</p>
<p>In order for the exploit to work to correctly, you would need multiples of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">A computer running Microsoft Windows, presumably without OS updates in place</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Be using Microsoft Internet Explorer as your browser</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Have an older, unpatched version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat installed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Have an older, unpatched version of Oracle Java installed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Have inadequate or un-updated anti-virus in place</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The more of those criteria that you meet, the higher the likelihood of your machine becoming exploited and in this particular case, having the ZeroAccess Trojan installed and potentially the FakeAV/Kazy malware piggybacked with that. ZeroAccess gets busy once in place, joining a command and control system, and downloading additional malicious applications such as a fake Flash installer.</p>
<p>Protecting yourself is easy to do. Install updates, use quality anti-virus, and a dash of common sense helps too!</p>
<p>Protecting an entire network with several computers and servers may be a more demanding task. You probably want to get a qualified service provider to assist in that endeavor.</p>
<p>If your business is in the Greenville, Spartanburg or Anderson SC, we would love to discuss security issues with you. Homeland Secure IT provides computer, server and network security, support and sales to the Upstate. We are partners with some of the biggest names in the business, such as Cisco, WatchGuard, Microsoft, Symantec, Trend Micro and more!  Please call us at 864-990-4748 or use our contact form on our website!</p>
<p>One other thing &#8211; if you feel for some reason that you may be infected, most of the time, you are. Don&#8217;t take a chance. We can help scan your machines or networks and clean them up should that be the case.</p>

<p>Q: Why is it that just about every corporation you walk into has Cisco phones on their desks?</p>
<p>A: Because they have become the standard by which almost every other VoIP solution is measured.</p>
<p>People in business have grown to expect a certain level of quality. From feel of the handset and how heavy it is and whether it fits their hand nicely, to the responsiveness of buttons, and without a doubt, the audio quality of the handset and the speakerphone. Other important aspects of the user experience are the bells and whistles, such ringer selection, headset interfaces and the display.</p>
<p>Almost every VoIP manufacturer tries to mimic the look and feel of Cisco because it is familiar to so many already.</p>
<h2>We have a small business, can we afford a Cisco system?</h2>
<p>That&#8217;s a pretty common question&#8230; The answer is &#8220;YES!&#8221;. In addition to making their world-class enterprise phone systems, they also make a line of affordable products designed specifically for small and medium businesses.</p>
<p>The entry level UC500 series (UC = Unified Communications) offering is the UC540 which comes with support for up to 24 phones but can expand to 32 phones. This system can use inexpensive SIP trunking to save you money on the monthly phone bill, and be perfect for most small law firms, doctors offices, dentist offices, realtors and churches. The Cisco UC540&#8242;s feature list is vast! Automated Attendant, Voice Mail to Email, Caller ID, SIP, paging, multi-site support, full support of just about any Cisco handset you could possibly want to use, including the affordable and feature packed SPA series.</p>
<p>Though I cannot give you a price in this blog post as there are a number of factors to consider, suffice it to say, the UC540 and a dozen phones competes nicely against any brand of VoIP, key or PBX offering.</p>
<p>When it comes down to providing a quality solution, it will be hard to beat the Cisco.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is pet peeve of mine: Business networks should be behind firewalls, not behind home routers!</p>
<p>When we visit a client location, we generally find one of the following configurations.</p>
<ul>
<li>Absolutely NO firewall &#8211; just the router provided by the ISP</li>
<li>A Linksys, TrendNet, Netgear, D-Link wireless router designed for home use</li>
<li>An actual firewall such as a Cisco, WatchGuard, SonicWALL, but out of date &#8211; old, discontinued hardware, not up to date firmware</li>
<li>A quality firewall that is up to date hardware-wise but out of date with their firmware</li>
<li>A quality firewall that is both up to date and supported, and has the latest software</li>
</ul>
<p>Unfortunately, these are listed above in the order of popularity&#8230;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, the majority of businesses have no firewall in place at all, or potentially a router designed for home use is pressed into service, and then of course, a few places purchased a firewall from a reputable business manufacturer, such as Cisco, but have either failed to keep it up to date, or that was 6 years ago and the unit is no longer supported and cannot even handle the latest security software loads.</p>
<p>Only a small number of businesses have done everything they can to insure their network is protected with a reputable business class firewall that is currently supported and up to date. A VERY SMALL percentage in fact.</p>
<p>Why the emphasis on your firewall situation? Because hackers know how to circumvent home routers and many ISP provided routers without much difficulty at all. And old, outdated firewalls are just as bad. There are kits available that hackers can download and simply run through options in an attempt to exploit known holes in inadequate and insecure firewalls. They don&#8217;t even have to flex their muscles to do this, just start the script / program and wait for the results.</p>
<p>If you are in the Upstate / Greenville South Carolina area and you would like to discuss firewalls for your business, please give us a call at 864-990-4748 and we will arrange a free consultation.</p>
<p>We are your Upstate dealer for Cisco, WatchGuard, SonicWALL and a host of other quality firewall appliances. We partner with these companies to offer sales and support for businesses just like yours!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wireless woes got you down? Tired of Wi-Fi connection issues?</p>
<p>Here are a couple of common complains we hear, maybe one of these applies to you:</p>
<p>You have a wireless tablet (iPad, Android, Windows, etc), notebook / laptop, point of sale system, Voice over IP phone system, etc, and as you move around your business, you lose your wireless connection, momentarily bringing whatever you were doing to a complete stop until you connect again. Even the notifications about the loss of connection and connecting status drives you bonkers.</p>
<p>Your business is in a large complex, and has a number of wireless access points throughout the facility, but as you roam through the building or campus, your connection is momentarily lost and your device has to reconnect. During this reconnection or reassociation time, your phone call on a wireless VoIP phone is lost, or your connection from your iPad back to a hosted application is severed.</p>
<p>There is great coverage in certain areas of your building, but very poor in others, causing you to have to stand in just the right spot to keep your connection active. You might even have mental notes telling you not to walk into the break room while on the phone or you will lose your call.</p>
<p>The wireless network at your company is comprised of several access points, potentially from different manufacturers, each with different SSIDs and encryption keys, maybe one for each area of a campus, causing you to have several configurations in your wireless device and switch between them when you are in different areas.</p>
<p>Sometimes the problems are not as severe as outlined above, and sometimes there are not even considered a &#8220;problem&#8221;, because you are used to working around them, but if this sounds like something that affects you, causing you frustration in addition to lost productivity, then you will be happy to know, we can help with that situation!</p>
<p>We can put an end to lost and dropped wireless connections. No more delays as your device is handed off between one access point to the other.</p>
<p>We can consolidate your wireless network into one easy to manage unit, where configurations between access points are instantly updated (no need to log into 2, 3, or a dozen individual access points just to change a password).</p>
<p>We can increase your security by segmenting your work network from a GUEST network, allowing your visitors to have access to the internet, but not to your company files, keeping your data isolated, and you in compliance!</p>
<p>Wide area coverage? NO problem, we have a system  that is perfect for your business, larger corporation, hospital or health care facility and even school / college / university campus solutions!</p>
<p>We are partners with the biggest wireless equipment manufacturers in the business, including Aruba &amp; Cisco!</p>
<p>Call us today at 864.990.4748 and put an end to your wireless troubles!

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you maintain your own company computer, server &amp; network or do you have someone in-house that does, it might be a good idea to get a second pair of eyes to give your business infrastructure a once-0ver.</p>
<p>If you are like most people, when everything is running well, you get comfortable and begin to do the job you were hired to do, so if you are the accounts manager and pull double duty as company IT administrator, chances are, you get back to doing what you do best &#8211; taking care of the accounts.  That is, until something comes along and throws a wrench in the works and your networking is not working.</p>
<p>But what about all those updates? Do you back-burner those until there is a good time to reboot the server? After all, rebooting the server takes everyone down, and causes your phone to light up with questions like, &#8220;When will I be able to access the X drive again?&#8221;.</p>
<p>During the time between updates, your server and other systems are vulnerable. It honestly may not be a matter of IF your network is compromised, but rather, WHEN.</p>
<p>Many non-dedicated IT admins will apply the updates but not reboot the server, or will wait until there are so many updates it may take 2 or three reboots to get everything applied. This is a very bad practice. Especially for servers facing the internet (Mail, SQL, Web).</p>
<p>What about backups?  You ARE backing up, and it does work properly, right?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get caught with your pants down.  Bring in an IT support company who can help you determine where you stand. Are you overworked and just unable to do it all? Consider an IT company who will provide you with a statement to that affect which you can provide to your manager or superior to document that there is additional work to be done.  Sure, you&#8217;ve told them time and time again, but maybe, just maybe, they might listen to an outside source.</p>
<p>Let Homeland Secure IT be that source of information. We&#8217;ll come in and take a look at the state of your network, provide suggested course of action, and can even quote the labor or upgrade of components (if required). Simply don&#8217;t have time to maintain all this gear and want to source it to someone who will be on top of it?  Then we&#8217;re on IT! Give us a call at 864-990-4748 or use the contact link above.</p>
<p>We provide complete IT service, sales and consultation to the entire Upstate of South Carolina. We&#8217;re your Microsoft, Cisco, Symantec, Trend Micro, Lenovo, HP partner, specializing in small and medium businesses (SMBs) just like yours!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are lucky or blessed enough to be able to take off from work and actually get out of town for a summer vacation over the Independence Day holiday this year, hopefully you will be doing a few things to protect your belongings while you are away.</p>
<h3>Here are a few examples of things you can do in order to insure your &#8220;stuff&#8221; is just as you left it when you return:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Water &#8211; Oh yeah, that&#8217;s some nasty stuff&#8230;  I once left town to return to tens of thousands of dollars in damage to a home due to a tiny ice maker line developing a leak! Just think how much water could flow from the hot and cold water lines going to your washer. There are even devices that automatically cut off the water in the event of a broken line like that for the washer.</li>
<li>Locks &#8211; Using quality locks on your doors might keep someone who is not very dedicated to their &#8220;job&#8221; from breaking in.</li>
<li>Lights &#8211; Lights left on, or on timers could potentially cause a criminal to move on to the next home. Why take a chance that someone is there?</li>
<li>Alarm &#8211; Having a quality monitored alarm system is essential! You want glass break detection, as well as a WIRED solution if possible that monitors for door or window openings or breaches, motion (no, your cat won&#8217;t trigger them) and fire/heat and carbon monoxide detectors, coupled with loud and annoying sirens. Some of these systems allow you to check the status remotely, assign guest access codes and more.</li>
<li>Neighbors &#8211; Let a few of your neighbors know you are gone and who they can expect to be at your location. Give them your phone numbers so they can call you if they have any questions.</li>
<li>Police &#8211; You can alert the police that you are out of town, and ask for extra patrols.</li>
<li>Friends &#8211; You can ask a friend to stay over, or at the very least to stop in and check on your home just to make sure that the water line going to the fridge doesn&#8217;t pour water for days on end.</li>
<li>Backup &#8211; Consider taking a backup of your data offsite in the event of fire, theft or other disaster. An offsite, online backup solution like our Servosity offering may be best here!</li>
<li>Encryption &#8211; Encrypting your data could keep someone who steals your computer or server from being able to access important documents.</li>
<li>Safe deposit box or offsite storage &#8211; Moving expensive items to an offsite location where people are actually watching it could be a good alternative to leaving it unattended.</li>
<li>Insurance &#8211; This is self-explanatory.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sure, there&#8217;s a lot you can do, and the more you do, the better! One thing we have done is to install a security camera system that monitors our home and businesses from all angles.</p>
<p>At first you might think that a video surveillance system sounds like something you want at your secret underground lair, however, without exception, everyone who installs such a system feels instantly more secure. You grow to rely on it, and often use it to set your mind at ease. Are the kids home yet? A glance or &#8220;listen&#8221; lets you know.</p>
<h4>A basic video camera system may include:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Four or more cameras to view your residence from different angles.</li>
<li>Instant email complete with a snapshot of the action that triggered it when someone or something enters a secured zone (we love being notified when UPS drops off a package, when the kids get home, etc)</li>
<li>Remote viewing of the cameras using a computer, iPad, iPhone, Android phone or Android tablet or just about any smartphone.</li>
<li>Ability to listen in to the audio for any camera feed.</li>
<li>Night vision &#8211; to help with low light situations.</li>
<li>Recording, either all the time, or during motion, heat or light events. Searchable for various tags such as &#8220;motion&#8221;.</li>
</ul>
<h4>More sophisticated systems might consist of:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Interior as well as exterior cameras.</li>
<li>TWO-WAY audio (you can speak to people using your smartphone, computer, tablet, as well as hear them).</li>
<li>Megapixel resolution for stunning quality.</li>
<li>Optical AND digital zoom, controllable from anywhere.</li>
<li>Pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ lets you move the camera from remote)</li>
<li>Tracking of moving objects.</li>
<li>Logging of license plates.</li>
<li>Facial recognition.</li>
<li>Alert to missing items (It might email your TV vanished from the monitored area).</li>
</ul>
<div>Those are just a few of the features available at very reasonable rates!</div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the example above, you will see an emailed attachment from one of our cameras as it captured a nearby lightning strike without so much as being blinded from the flash.</p>
<p>No doubt you are now thinking you want your own security cameras! If that is the case, please use the CONTACT link in the site navigation bar or call us at 864.990.4748!</p>
<p>We provide sales, consultation and installation of many brands of surveillance cameras such as AXIS, Panasonic, Cisco, D-Link, TRENDnet, Sony, Speco, Honeywell, Keebox, Intellinet, JVC, Tamron, Toshiba, HAI, Q-see, TP-Link, LinkSys, LevelOne, Foscam, Logitech, ZModo and MANY others.</p>
<p>Additionally, we offer professional systems for your business, school, motel, bus or just about any application you can imagine.</p>

Mine goes something like this, &#8220;I&#8217;m John with Homeland Secure IT, and we provide small and medium businesses with computer, server and network support, service and sales here in the Upstate&#8221;.</p>
<p>The person I am telling will usually walk away thinking that we fix computers, or that we sell servers. All of which are correct, but by no means is that ALL we do. I can&#8217;t very well tell you, &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m John and my company does everything related to IT&#8221;. Actually, I *have* said that, and that results in a tilt of the head and total confusion.</p>
<p>It is very hard to convey what we do, when in fact, we do so much!</p>
<p>So just what do we do? Welllllllllllll, taking a deep breath&#8230;</p>
<p>We DO provide service, repair, consultation and support of computers, servers, networks, mobile computers, and the like.  That means, we fix stuff! We go to a client&#8217;s location and fix a malfunctioning server, we repair a computer or replace it, we put updates on firewalls, and consult with IT and facility administrators about needs. We also perform repairs of personal home computers in our Greenville office.</p>
<p>But, it&#8217;s so much more than just that. A vast array of technologies are included in there, here are a few:</p>
<ul>
<li>Voice over IP phone systems</li>
<li>IP Surveillance Cameras (Security cameras, CCTV, DVR)</li>
<li>Time &amp; Attendance systems (Time clocks and time tracking hardware and software)</li>
<li>Mobile computers (Notebook, netbook, laptop, tablet, smartphone)</li>
<li>VPN and remote access to your business (secure access to files and machines)</li>
<li>Wireless / Wi-Fi systems (both small business, and much larger, for schools, campus, college, enterprise)</li>
<li>Licensing &#8211; We are licensing experts for Microsoft, Symantec, Trend Micro, Cisco and more!</li>
<li>Email &#8211; Microsoft Exchange servers, cloud based email like Google Apps / Gmail, Office 365</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s the tip of the iceberg! We also offer full sales of these products!  We partner with the biggest names in technology and provide hardware, software and license sales!  Whether you need one or a thousand of these items here in our area, we can help.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a partial list of the manufacturers who&#8217;s products we offer:</p>
<ul>
<li>Microsoft (Windows, Server, Exchange, SQL)</li>
<li>Cisco (firewall, router, switch, VoIP, camera, security, wireless)</li>
<li>Symantec (Backup Exec, endpoint virus protection)</li>
<li>WatchGuard (Firewall, security)</li>
<li>SonicWall (firewall, security)</li>
<li>TrendNet (Switch, firewall, router, camera, wireless)</li>
<li>D-Link (Switch, firewall, router, storage, camera, wireless)</li>
<li>LinkSys (Switch, router, wireless)</li>
<li>Trend Micro (WFBS, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam)</li>
<li>Acer (computer, netbook, notebook, tablet, laptop, monitor)</li>

<h2>But really, what does it mean for you?</h2>
<p>Not to tell you that the sky is falling, but, hey, the sky is falling.  Not today, not next week, not in June, but yes, soon, your IPv4 technology will be outdated, and the smart IT administrator is currently working on a plan to migrate to IPv6.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the bad news for you:  Your old firewall or router may need to be ditched and new one purchased in order to have proper network routing. Some current firewalls and security routers that are sold today are not even compatible. And some computers and operating systems are not ready.</p>
<p>The good news is that many manufacturers such as Cisco, Linksys, WatchGuard, Sonicwall, Jupiter, and Zyxel have been preparing for this change-over for a while now. Microsoft has supported IPv6 for several years.</p>
<p><strong>You are not without options.</strong></p>
<p>If you would like to discuss how you can prepare for the inevitable, please give us a call at 864.990.4748 and arrange a consultation. You can also use our <a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.homelandsecureit.com/contact-us/">CONTACT </a>form.

<p class="wp-caption-text">Child pornography is bad for business</p>
</div>
<p>Every company would like to believe they have employees with strong moral values who would not jeopardize the reputation of the business by browsing for pornography, or even worse, child pornography.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is, not only are there employees that will do just that, but also others who might have access to machines in the facility, such as cleaning personnel, children of employees, etc.</p>
<p>Being in the computer service and repair business, we&#8217;ve seen it all. From computers at a church infected with viruses and malware that required cleanup (due to browsing malicious porn sites), to lawyers who asked us how they could browse adult sites without becoming infected, and one businessman who became infected numerous times and made no excuses for his behavior.</p>
<p>In most cases, businesses have been lax in implementing any sort of policy, written or actually enforced. Some feel it could never happen to them, that the risks are too small to invest the time and money and that putting systems in place will be costly or cumbersome. Even after an incident has occurred, such as an infected computer on a client&#8217;s network due to what appears to be browsing for pornography according to the history, the client will gladly pay for the repair or service, but not entertain the idea of putting protection into place to prevent it from happening again.</p>
<h2>Imagine police searching your business computers&#8230;</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a story that might have crossed your screen. A 26 year old man in Maryland plead guilty to producing child pornography, and he used the computer at the gas station he was employed at to view and download the porn to a thumb drive and hard drive.  (<a title="AA Co. man pleads guilty to child sexual abuse and child porn charges  Continue reading on Examiner.com AA Co. man pleads guilty to child sexual abuse and child porn charges - Baltimore buzz | Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/buzz-in-baltimore/aa-co-man-pleads-guilty-to-child-sexual-abuse-and-child-porn-charges#ixzz1pDIlL1uv" href="http://www.examiner.com/buzz-in-baltimore/aa-co-man-pleads-guilty-to-child-sexual-abuse-and-child-porn-charges" target="_blank">examiner.com</a>)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a story of a man who was arrested at a business after a tip lead to a search and turned up child pornography. (<a title="Sydney man charged over child porn" href="http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8435953" target="_blank">ninemsn.com.au</a>)</p>
<p>An IT company turned in their client, a Florida real estate agent, after finding child pornography on the business computer he used. (<a title="Lee Co. real estate agent arrested after child porn found" href="http://www.winknews.com/Local-Florida/2012-03-01/Lee-Co-real-estate-agent-arrested-after-child-porn-found" target="_blank">winknews.com</a>)</p>
<p>The above stories are just recent examples of how businesses can be brought into the spotlight due to indiscretion. Even if law enforcement is not involved, the mere act of browsing the websites that host this type of material is a waste of company resources, it endangers computers due to the large number of these sites that contain malicious software loaders.</p>
<h2>Protect your business</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>To ensure that your business does not show up in the morning news, there are a few things you can do that might help.</li>
<li>Secure computers with passwords so that only authorized personnel can use them.</li>
<li>Avoid placing computers in secluded areas when possible.</li>
<li>Institute a written company policy that explicitly forbids illegal activities on business computers with defined consequences if discovered.</li>
<li>Use anti-virus software which includes a browsing component with built-in filters for adult sites, such as Trend Micro.</li>
<li>Consider a physical firewall or security appliance that provides filtering at the gateway.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-caption-text">Cisco SPA525G2 with 32 button sidecar</p>
</div>
<p>One of the best selling phones for the small and medium business (SMB) market is the Cisco SPA525G2 phone. The entire series of SPA phones are affordable, reliable and well suited to SMB use, but the 525 G2 is the current big daddy with its color display, ability to play MP3s from a memory stick, sync to your cell phone via bluetooth, built-in bluetooth for wireless headset usage and so much more.</p>
</div>
<p>On every system we sell that includes the SPA 525, we get a few questions like, ‘How do you answer another extension?”, and of course we answer it, but, with such a long list of these “star codes”, I can’t remember them myself.</p>
<p>Cisco Star Codes for SPA525G2 Phones:</p>
<ul>
<li>Call Return (*69)—Calls the last caller, regardless which extension.</li>
<li>Blind Transfer (*98)—Allows the user to transfer a call to another number  without waiting for the other party to pick up.</li>
<li>Call Back Act (*66)—Periodically redials the last busy number (every 30  seconds by default) until it rings or until the attempt expires (30 min by default), regardless which extension. Only one call back operation can be ordered at a time. A new order automatically cancels the previous order.</li>
<li>Call Back Deact (*86)—Cancels the last call back operation.</li>
<li>Call Forward All Act (*72)—Call forwards all inbound calls. Applies to primary extension only.</li>
<li>Call Forward All Deact (*73)—Cancels call forward all. Applies to primary extension only.</li>
<li>Call Forward Busy Act (*90)—Call forwards on busy. Applies to primary extension only.</li>
<li>Call Forward Busy Deact (*91)—Cancels call forward on busy. Applies to primary extension only.</li>
<li>Call Forward No Answer Act (*92)—Call forwards if no answer. Applies to primary extension only.</li>
<li>Call Forward No Answer Deact (*93)—Cancels call forward no answer. Applies to primary extension only.</li>
<li>CW Act (*56)—Enables call waiting. For example, if call waiting is turned off globally, this star code will turn on call waiting until the CW Deact code is entered.</li>
<li>CW Deact (*57)—Deactivates call waiting. For example, if call waiting is turned on globally, this star code deactivates call waiting until the CW Act code is entered.</li>
<li>CW Per Call Act (*71)—Enables call waiting for a single call. For example, if  call waiting is turned off globally, this star code will turn on call waiting for that call.</li>
<li>CW Per Call Deact (*70)—Deactivates call waiting for a single call. For example, if call waiting is turned on globally, this star code deactivates call waiting for that call.</li>
<li>Block CID Act (*67)—Blocks caller ID on all outbound calls. Applies to all extensions.</li>
<li>Block CID Deact (*68)—Deactivates caller ID blocking on outbound calls. Applies to all extensions.</li>
<li>Block CID Per Call (*81)—Blocks caller ID on the next outbound call (on the current call appearance only).</li>
<li>Block CID Per Call Deact (*82)—Deactivates caller ID blocking on the next outbound call (on the current call appearance only).</li>
<li>Block ANC Act—Blocks anonymous calls. Applies to all extensions.</li>
<li>Block ANC Deact—Deactivates anonymous call blocking. Applies to all  extensions.</li>
<li>DND Act (*78)—Activates Do Not Disturb. Applies to all extensions.</li>
<li>DND Deact (*79)—Deactivates Do Not Disturb. Applies to all extensions.</li>
<li>Secure All Call Act (*16)—Defaults to prefer to use encrypted media (voice codecs).</li>
<li>Secure No Call Act (*17)—Defaults to prefer to use unencrypted media for all outbound calls. Applies to all extensions.</li>
<li>Secure One Call Act (*18)—Prefers to use encrypted media for the outbound call (on this call appearance only).</li>
<li>Secure One Call Deact (*19)—Prefers to use unencrypted media for the outbound call (on this call appearance only).</li>
<li>Paging (*96)—Pages the number called.</li>
<li>Call Park (*38)—Parks a call on an entered line number.</li>
<li>Call UnPark Code (*39)—Retrieves a call from an entered line number.</li>
<li>Call Pickup (*36)—Picks up a call at an entered extension.</li>
<li>Group Call Pickup (*37)—Picks up a ringing call at a group of extensions.</li>
<li>Media Loopback Code (*03)—A service provider can set up a test call from an IP media loopback server (the source) to a subscriber’s VoIP device (the mirror). The test call provides statistical reporting on network performance  and audio quality.</li>
</ul>
<p>Depending on the source’s capabilities, the SP can see packet jitter, loss, and delay (although Media Loopback cannot identify an offending hop). This helps the SP identify an offending hop that could be causing issues in VoIP calls to a subscriber. The test results can also provide audio quality scoring, which lets a SP better understand the subscriber’s experience.</p>
<p>Referral Services Codes—One or more * codes can be configured into this parameter, such as *98, or *97|*98|*123, and so on. The maximum total length is 79 characters.<br />
This parameter applies when the user places the current call on hold (by Hook Flash) and is listening to second dial tone. Each * code (and the following valid target number according to current dial plan) entered on the second dial-tone triggers the Cisco IP phone to perform a blind transfer to a target number that is prepended by the service * code. For example:<br />
a. After the user dials *98, the Cisco IP phone plays a special prompt tone while waiting for the user the enter a target number (which is validated according to the dial plan as in normal dialing).<br />
b. When a complete number is entered, the Cisco IP phone sends a blind REFER  to the holding party with the Refer-To target equals to *98 target_number. This  feature allows the Cisco IP phone to hand off a call to an application server to perform further processing, such as call park. The * codes should not conflict with any of the other vertical service codes internally processed by the Cisco IP phone. You can delete any * code that you do  not want the call server to process.</p>
<p>Feature Dial Services Codes: Tells the Cisco IP phone what to do when the user is  listening to the first or second dial tone.<br />
You can configure one or more * codes into this parameter, such as *72, or *72|*74|*67|*82, and so on. The maximum total length is 79 characters. When the user has a dial tone (first or second dial tone), they can enter a * code (and the  following target number according to current dial plan) to trigger the Cisco IP phone to call the target number prepended by the * code. For example:<br />
a. After the user dials *72, the Cisco IP phone plays a special prompt tone while waiting for the user the enter a target number (which is validated according to the dial plan as in normal dialing).<br />
b. When a complete number is entered, the Cisco IP phone sends an INVITE to *72 target_number as in a normal call. This feature allows the proxy to process features such as call forward (*72) or BLock Caller ID (*67).<br />
You can add a parameter to each * code in Features Dial Services Codes to indicate what tone to play after the * code is entered, such as *72‘c‘|*67‘p‘.</p>
<p>Following is a list of allowed dial tone parameters (note the use of back quotes surrounding the parameter without spaces).</p>
<ul>
<li> ‘c‘ = Cfwd dial tone</li>
<li> ‘d‘ = Dial tone</li>
<li> ‘m‘ = MWI dial tone</li>
<li> ‘o‘ = Outside dial tone</li>
<li> ‘p‘ = Prompt dial tone</li>
<li> ‘s‘ = Second dial tone</li>
<li> ‘x‘ = No tones are place, x is any digit not used above</li>
</ul>
<p>If no tone parameter is specified, the Cisco IP phone plays the prompt tone by default.<br />
If the * code is not to be followed by a phone number, such as *73 to cancel call forwarding, do not include it in this parameter. In that case, add that * code in the dial plan.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you have been cruising along at your business for years and all has been great, but now, out of the blue, people on your network are having trouble viewing websites.</p>
<p>You found that if you reboot that firewall (pull the plug on the thing since there is no power supply) that YOU get back online right away, but then later that day, someone else on the network is now having trouble accessing websites so you reboot the firewall and all is well, for a while.</p>
<p>What could it be? It MUST be the firewall going bad since that fixes it.</p>
<p>Before jumping to that conclusion and just replacing the device, think back. Has your company grown? Maybe you have added a few new employees, or, maybe you have added tablets or other connected devices.</p>
<p>What could be happening here is that you have added one too many devices to your network and exceeded the number of seats that your firewall appliance supports. When you originally purchased that device, a technician counted the number of computers, servers and connected devices and said &#8220;You need a 25 user firewall and it will cost $xxx.xx&#8221;, to which you agreed and promptly forgot about.</p>
<p>Now, flash forward to today and your 12 users and a server have grown to 15 users, two servers and many people have iPads or Android tablets or phones, taking you past the 25 user limit.  The last person to connect once you go over the limit will generally be denied access to websites by the firewall, as a warning that you have exceeded the license terms, and it probably won&#8217;t &#8220;reset&#8221; just by turning that computer off, you will have to reboot the firewall to free unused seats up.</p>
<p>So what are you going to do about it? I guess you could tell the employees to stop connecting their personal phones to your network, or you could replace the firewall with a cheap router that has no limitations.</p>
<p>Both will work, but are bad ideas.</p>
<p>The real solution is to correct the licensing issue. Determine how many connected devices you have within your network, and estimate how many you will need for the next year, then talk to a vendor who can provide the proper licenses and apply those for you. Don&#8217;t forget to include VoIP and security systems, even copiers and connected printers, as they may require a seat too.</p>
<p>If you are experiencing rapid growth, consider upgrading to an unlimited license.</p>
<p>Just a note &#8211; If you have an old device, say 4-5 years old, now may be the time to consider upgrading the entire device to the latest technology at the same time you correct the user limitation!</p>
<p>Should you require help with this, Homeland Secure IT offers sales and support of most major brands of firewalls. We partner with Cisco, WatchGuard, SonicWALL, TrendNet, D-Link, NetGear and more!

<p>Homeland SECURE IT Achieves Select Certification from Cisco</p>
<p>Greenville, SC, November 1, 2011:  Homeland Secure IT announced today that it has achieved Select Certification from Cisco. The Select Certification recognizes Cisco® resale channel partners that focus on meeting the technology and service needs of small businesses.</p>
<p>Cisco’s portfolio of both Small Business and Small Business Professional Series products directly complement and enhance Homeland Secure IT’s Systems Design, Sales, Installation and Support of end-to-end communications and physical networks.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 145px"><img style="-webkit-user-select: none;" title="CiscoSelectPartner" src="http://www.thehelpdeskcompany.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/partnerdb/Cisco-Select-certified_logo.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="135" />
<p class="wp-caption-text">Cisco Select Certified</p>
</div>
<p>“The Cisco Select Certification was created in response to customer demand for channel partners capable of designing and implementing Cisco solutions purpose-built for small businesses,” said Andrew Sage, vice president of Worldwide Small Business Sales at Cisco. “With the Select Certification, Homeland Secure IT has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this growing demand.”</p>
<p>To earn Select Certification, Homeland Secure IT fulfilled the training and exam requirements for the Cisco Small Business Specialization.  Homeland Secure IT also met the personnel, training and post-sales support requirements set forth by Cisco.</p>
<p>The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides a framework for channel partners to build the sales, technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills required to deliver Cisco solutions to end customers. Through the program’s specializations and certifications, Cisco recognizes a channel partner’s expertise in deploying solutions based on Cisco advanced technologies and services. Using a third-party audit process, the program validates channel partner qualifications such as technology skills, business best practices, customer satisfaction, and presales and post-sales support capabilities — critical factors for customers choosing a trusted channel partner.</p>
<p><strong>About Homeland Secure IT</strong></p>
<p>Homeland Secure IT is headquartered in Greenville, SC, and serves Greenville and the Upstate of South Carolina.  Our goal is to deliver seamless design, implementation, and support to customers requiring both simple and sophisticated communications solutions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img id="rg_hi" class="rg_hi alignleft" style="width: 244px; height: 206px;" title="CiscoUC320W" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTUtqmJiHwzThU6sGZXKlim5MCKJj135tv3wcTffCxoq1pZeIoQ" alt="Cisco UC320W unified communications system" width="244" height="206" data-width="244" data-height="206" />If you are attempting to log into the administration and Configuration Utility on your Cisco UC320W and find you get a beautiful blue screen, but it goes no further, then chances are that you have Adobe Flash Player 11 installed and a the UC320W has a firmware revision of 2.1.1 (7) or lower loaded on it.</p>
<p>Today, Cisco released 2.1.2 to the cloud for update which addresses that specific issue!</p>
<p>But wait, if you can&#8217;t log into the thing, how do you update your firmware so you can log into it?</p>
<p>First, you will need to downgrade your Flash Player to version 10.</p>
<p>To determine which version you are currently using visit here: <a href="http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/">http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/</a></p>
<p>To download earlier versions of Adobe Flash visit here: <a href="http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html#main_Archived_versions">http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html#main_Archived_versions</a></p>
<p>Once you have downgraded your browser to Adobe Flash Player 10 you will be able to log into UC320W Configuration Utility to perform the upgrade, and once complete can reinstall Adobe Flash Player v11.</p>
<p>The 2.1.2 firmware does not correct any other issues or add any features. If you are <em>not</em> experiencing login issues, you may want to hold off until 2.1.3 is released which does add some new functionality, or so we have heard!</p>
<p>Should you require assistance in updating or configuring your Cisco UC devices in the Greenville or Upstate, SC area, please give us a call at 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com &#8211; We are a Cisco SMB partner!

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img id="rg_hi" class="rg_hi alignleft" style="width: 204px; height: 204px;" title="CiscoOnPlus" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgZjUnKfvbKCxEoFIhX2AEec287w5BmKJyuq_TMZMoHOnrlwOFpQ" alt="Cisco OnPlus" width="49" height="49" data-width="204" data-height="204" /></p>
<p>Large businesses have full-time IT staff or fully outsourced IT support that provide monitoring of their infrastructure and keep them up to date and now small &amp; medium (SMB) businesses can have the same level of support when it comes to devices on their network.</p>
<p>Cisco OnPlus works by allowing Homeland Secure IT or your Cisco SMB service provider to place a Cisco OnPlus Network Agent at your location and configure it for reporting.  The Cisco SMB specialist will be able to monitor your site from remote on a variety of devices, from handheld to tablets, to desktops and take action when needed.</p>
<p>OnPlus is the latest tool in the Managed Service Provider&#8217;s arsenal. Using it, Cisco products can be backed up, restored and fully managed remotely. Other devices are supported as well!</p>
<p>As always with Cisco, security is the name of the game and OnPlus provides a secure environment for your IT service provider to manage your network. Your data is safe from prying eyes, only the devices themselves can be managed and use of this system does not permit access to data outside of configuration and management.</p>
<p>If you would like your business to have monitoring, alerting, reporting and managing capabilities, then ask your Cisco SMB provider about this exciting offering. No need to wait for a service or repair technician to visit your location, management is handled in real-time, remotely! This service is one of the most affordable methods for managing your firewalls and security appliances, IP surveillance systems, switches, routers, VoIP phone systems and more.</p>
<p>Homeland Secure IT provides Cisco SMB sales and support in the Greenville &amp; Upstate SC area. Call us today at 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com.</p>

<p>Everyone is familiar with Cisco products, but not everyone may realize there are alternatives which can affect your bottom line drastically while providing an identical feature set and experience.</p>
<p>D-Link is a leader in the field and their products can often times go head-to-head with Cisco.</p>
<p>D-Link offers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wireless network equipment, like access points, managed wireless switches for large scale deployments, and cloud managed systems. D-Link offers a solution for your small office or your large university campus and everything in between. Need wireless roaming of VoIP systems or to connect buildings and networks together wirelessly? They&#8217;ve got that covered.</li>
<li>SAN &#8211; Network storage systems that can use your existing LAN infrastructure and compete nicely with NAS (Network Attached Storage). These work with VMWare and other virtual environments, as well as with applications like ProTools!</li>
<li>Firewalls and routers, for the small or medium business to the large enterprise.</li>
<li>Switches, from a single inexpensive switch to managed to stackable for your enterprise that can have a master replaced without taking the entire stack down. 10/100, gigabit, even 10GBE.</li>
</ul>
<div>D-Link warranty and licensing are superior to many other providers too! You don&#8217;t get &#8220;licensed to death&#8221;.</div>
<div>If you are considering replacing older equipment or deploying a new site, D-Link probably has just what you need. If you are in Greenville or the Upstate of SC, please call us at 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com We are a D-Link partner offering the entire line of D-Link products. We not only sell D-Link, but we also offer installation, consultation and support. We are D-Link Certified Professionals.</div>

<p class="wp-caption-text">nexVortex SIP Trunking for Business</p>
</div>
<p>If you are currently using a SIP trunking provider for your business, have a look at what nexVortex has to offer. Compare it to your current provider and see how they stack up!</p>
<p>Homeland Secure IT became a partner with nexVortex after researching many other providers&#8230; We needed a reliable provider who could offer the features our clients needed at a price they could afford. We found that the quality of service and the feature set offered by nexVortex fit the bill, as did their pricing!</p>
<p>For instance, the nexVortex Business Elite Plan offers unlimited concurrent calls, 5000 minutes of outbound (US continental &amp; Canada), 5 DID telephone numbers, E911 and disaster recovery for only $100/month. That is everything most of the businesses we work with require, though they do have a Business Pro Plan that is even less expensive at $40/month, and that has 2000 minutes of outbound calls, unlimited concurrent calls, E911 and one telephone number.</p>
<p>Need 50 DIDs? How about 100, or 1000?  nexVortex can provide that too, saving you lots of money in the process in many cases!</p>
<p>If you would like more information in the Greenville or Upstate, SC area, please call 864.990.4748 or email info@homelandsecureit.com. If you are outside of our area, that&#8217;s okay, click on the nexVortex logo and you can find everything you need on their website.</p>
<p>Unable to use SIP trunking due to an old phone system? We can help with that! We are have a solution that is right for your business!  Please call or email today!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pardon the pun with the &#8220;dollars &amp; sense&#8221; thing, but really that is what it comes down to, whether it makes sense, not just the dollar amount.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="CiscoSelectPartner" src="http://www.homelandsecureit.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Cisco-SMB-Logo.jpg" alt="Cisco Select SMB Partner Greenville Upstate SC" width="300" height="92" /></p>
<p>In my previous post, we looked at a company we will call &#8220;Business One&#8221;, a local small business using PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) with their old key phone system and asked the question <a title="Are you paying too much for your business phone service?" href="http://www.homelandsecureit.com/blog/2011/06/paying-too-much-for-your-business-phone-service-maybe-its-time-to-switch-to-sip-trunking-sip-voip/">&#8220;Are you paying too much for your business phone service?&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Obviously, there was money to be saved by simply changing how they have always done things, however, there was expense involved, which came in the form of the need for a new phone system. Let&#8217;s look at what is involved to move &#8220;Business One&#8221; from an aging key phone system to a new VoIP (Voice over IP) system.</p>
<p>First, let&#8217;s see what the current system comprised of:</p>
<ul>
<li>8 total extensions</li>
<li>3 outside phone lines</li>
<li>Paging to a speaker (broken)</li>
<li>Paging to phones</li>
<li>NO music on hold option</li>
<li>NO Automated Attendant capability</li>
<li>NO voice mail (Simple answering machine turned on manually)</li>
<li>NO voice mail going to email</li>
<li>NO Caller ID display</li>
</ul>
<p>We&#8217;re talking a very basic digital key system. It has accomplished what they needed, and nothing more.</p>
<p>So what would we be putting in place?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="CiscoUC320W" src="https://www.dandh.com/images/prod300/UC320WFXOK9.jpg" alt="Cisco UC320W unified communications system" width="240" height="240" />Cisco&#8217;s new UC320W Unified Communications system, which is one unit that controls the local VoIP system, provides a security router, gigabit switch, wireless 802.11n and more.  This is the baby brother to the UC540 system, and it supports up to 24 extensions, 4 copper phone lines, and a fax/phone/credit card machine port.</p>
<p>With additional modules, it can support even more phone lines, at the expense of losing one extension for each additional outside line over 4.   (If you had 8 phone lines, you could only have 20 extensions).</p>
<p><img class=" alignright" title="SPA504G" src="https://www.dandh.com/images/prod300/SPA504G.jpg" alt="Cisco SPA504G VoIP Phone" width="270" height="270" /></p>
<p>For desk sets, Business One has determined they need only the basics, no color display, bluetooth or MP3 player needed here.</p>
<p>We opted for the Cisco SPA504G, a 4 line display phone with outstanding audio quality, crystal clear speakerphone, dedicated headset port, message waiting indicator and an AUX port to connect the optional 32 button sidecar which allows the programming of single button speeddials, transfers, etc. These phones also have a network passthru for the connected PCs and Power Over Ethernet (POE).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="SPA500S" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31gb4GoK5YL._SX160_.jpg" alt="Cisco SPA500S 32 button sidecar" width="160" height="160" />To enable the two people who answer phone the most there the ability to easily transfer calls to other worker voice mail and extensions, we added two of the 32 button sidecars (SPA500S). They can tell if someone is using their extension at a glance, and transfer a call they answered easily to another extension, or send it straight to that extension&#8217;s voice mail with the push of one button.</p>
<p>The old phone system does not use CAT5 wiring, so new wiring was required to several extensions, and since there are no power outlets in some of those locations, a Cisco ESW-520-8p switch was in order. This switch provides 8 ports of 10/100 ethernet WITH Power Over Ethernet (Meaning, all 8 extensions would not require to have a power adapter plugged into the wall)</p>
<p>The client had an existing 10/100/1000 (gigabit) network for their computers, but it was decided that keeping the networks isolated would be desirable. That fact, combined with the desire to have Power Over Ethernet and long runs of cabling that were required to the warehouse area made for a more costly solution than may be necessary in many cases. However, the complete, turn-key solution rang in at about $4500 dollars. By turn-key, we mean, start to finish: Consultation, installation, configuration &amp; training.</p>
<p>By switching to to this VoIP solution and to the SIP trunks as outlined in the previous post, in less than 2.5 years, the new VoIP system will pay for itself, while providing many features this client has never enjoyed!</p>
<p>New features that Business One can enjoy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automated Attendant (Many calls are handled by the phone system)</li>
<li>Voice Mail for each extension (will replace a single answering machine)</li>
<li>Night Attendant will provide different greeting/functions after hours</li>
<li>Music on Hold</li>
<li>Voice mail is sent to their email to listen to on a smartphone</li>
<li>Caller ID so they can screen those salespeople!</li>
<li>Display phones loaded with features</li>
<li>Ability to transfer a call to their cell phones, or even forward all calls</li>
<li>Full call logging, see at a glance every incoming/outgoing call</li>
<li>8 Simultaneous calls through SIP (instead of the 3 they had before)</li>
<li>Ability to use inexpensive SIP trunks for service!</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg! Their old system has seen better days, so switching to a full fledged VoIP solution and taking advantage of a decrease in service will pay for itself&#8230;</p>
<p>Now, if they would just consider the Cisco SPA525G2 phone, with its beautiful color display, built-in MP3 player, bluetooth connectivity to headsets and cellphones, then they would be stylin!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was asked by a client why we haven&#8217;t been giving away stuff&#8230;  That&#8217;s a good question! I don&#8217;t know, we just got distracted with work or something.</p>
<p>If you remember from a while back, we gave away a Cisco Flip Mino HD camera that we won in a contest, and we also gave away a really cool wireless network security camera, some Trend Micro Titanium Anti-Virus product, and a few other little things here and there via silly contests with few rules.</p>
<p>So what should we give away and why?</p>
<p>The Flip was given away because you guys helped us win a contest, the network security camera was to introduce a product to  you that we offer, and Trend was because was love their anti-virus product and want everyone to use it!</p>
<p>Stay tuned here, we will come up with something&#8230;  Maybe an X-Box 360?  (We won one of those ourselves!)

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.HomelandSecureIT.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Cisco-SMB-Logo.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1448 alignleft" title="Cisco-SMB-end" src="http://www.HomelandSecureIT.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Cisco-SMB-Logo.jpg" alt="Cisco SMB Select Partner Logo" width="300" height="92" /></a>Most businesses have a love-hate relationship with their phone systems, often settling for less than everything they need because it is inexpensive, low-maintenance or not too complicated.</p>
<p>We have always wanted the most features that we could get, so a VoIP (Voice over IP) solution was the only way to go! We initially used enterprise class Cisco 7960 VoIP phone sets with an Asterisk based system and a couple phone lines provided by Charter, and a couple provided by Vonage.</p>
<p>We had everything we wanted and needed with that system&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Automated Attendant</li>
<li>Voice Mail</li>
<li>Voice Mail sent to our Email</li>
<li>Full featured SIP phones with multi-line, displays, etc</li>
<li>Call tracking, with full logs showing incoming/outgoing call detail</li>
<li>Music On Hold</li>
<li>Ability to forward calls to cell phones</li>
<li>Good audio quality, speaker phone capability</li>
</ul>
<p>We never really wanted for additional features, but along comes the Cisco UC 320 series which is an ideal fit for many of our own clients. Obviously, we want to provide support to those who may be using this type of system, so we purchased one for ourselves and at the same time purchased a few of the latest SPA 525G2 phones from Cisco and some SPA504s and even the SPA301.</p>
<p>Seeing as how change was coming, we also switched to a SIP trunk with 8 channels (simultaneous lines in use) in addition to the two lines from Charter, so we should not be hurting for available phone lines and nobody should get a busy signal&#8230;</p>
<p>The Cisco VoIP solution is very nice for small to medium offices like our own! Out of the box, it supports everything we had before, but here are a few of the details:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for four copper (standard) phone lines from MaBell (or Charter, or a Vonage ATA, etc)</li>
<li>Support for sending out to analog devices (you can give your FAX  its own extension number for instance or use analog phones)</li>
<li>Support for using SIP trunks (cheaper than analog lines)</li>
<li>24 phone extensions (more on this further down)</li>
<li>Built-in gigabit switch</li>
<li>Built-in router</li>
<li>Built-in 802.11 n/b/g wireless for phones and data</li>
<li>Music On Hold</li>
<li>Automated Attendant</li>
<li>Call logs for external calls</li>
<li>Supports the full line of Cisco SPA series phones</li>
</ul>
<p>If you need MORE incoming copper lines, you can add them 4 at a time (up to 12 total) with another device, but you lose an extension for each line you add.</p>
<p>The old 7960G phones rocked for their quality, phone books, and their ability to use external XML scripts to get the weather, etc, but the new phones do not make me miss them at all!</p>
<p>The SPA 525G2 desk sets have too many cool features to list without you getting bored and your eyes glazing over! Here&#8217;s a few:</p>

<li>Ability to link up to two 32 button consoles</li>
<li>Outstanding audio quality on handset and speaker phone</li>
