MagicJack deployment notes for organizations
- MagicJack doesn't install a device driver, it acts like USB storage,
any users can install.
The phone number follows the device, not the install.
- Many times auto install doesn't. To kick start things, open "My Computer",
from here you will see MagicJack as a drive letter, you will be able to click on the install program.
- The install program pumps many files in a users profile - this is a
problem, if your users have quota's or roaming profiles.
- Workaround might be to run as a service
- You must be logged in to receive or make phone calls.
- There is currently no Linux Client.
- Call forwarding does not appear to work.
- Voice Mail is problematic if more than one user is assigned.
- Sometimes there is an echo effect - this can sometimes be fixed by adjusting the
volume on the Softphone.
- There is no way to deploy this software by doing push installs - there is
no central management.
- When making local calls you must dial the area code.
- Sleep/Hibernate will keep you from receiving phone calls.
- MagicJacks use about 90k of bandwidth per device
- Ports used?
- SIP Information?
- Stroths MJ Utilities
