Your boss sounds like a complete dick.

1/19/2006 6:12:54 PM

total dickbag. there was no service contract on the cisco equipment, but because i'm the resident "engineer" all this is up to me. not to mention I got no training on this sh!t. all I have is the internet and a book entitled "Cisco IP Communications Express".

basically I'm fucked and must find a job soon. my days are numbered. my business cards look cool though.

1/19/2006 6:14:27 PM

are you confusing IT and "engineer"

1/19/2006 6:31:24 PM

Well, some words of wisdom on the cisco unity boxes. Make sure they are firewalled and protected up the wazzo. Since they run windows OS and multitudes of MS services, they are extremely hackable. Dont mistake being on a private network to being secured. VOIP deployment is not a small task. I run weekly scans of our Cisco VOIP boxes to look for any new vulerabilities or any signs of hackage.
