    List Stored Procedures From Query Analyzer in SQL 2000

    I know not too many of you will need this, but I’ll have to look this back up at some point 😉 USE databasename SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT ROUTINE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' AND OBJECTPROPERTY ( OBJECT_ID(ROUTINE_NAME), 'IsMsShipped' ) = 0 ORDER BY ROUTINE_NAME

    Cisco Callmanager External Phone Numeber Masking

    The external phone number mask is a method to present whatever caller id (CID) info you want to the outside world. As in, when I call you from my Cisco phone my number shows up as 555-5555, because my phone number mask is set to 555-5555. There are multiple places you can affect the number…

    Cisco – Multisite Single Cluster Call Manager 4.1 Design

    Use Asterisk as an SRST (Survivable Remote Site Telephony) Gateway with Cisco CallManager

    What is this and why do I need it? Here’s the scenario. You have a central office with five remote offices. You run Cisco CallManager at the central office and you simply deploy phones out at the remotes to use the central Callmanager. This saves you money by using a single call server. Now imagine…

  • What is Asterisk/Trixbox

    First, Asterisk is an opensoure PBX (phone system). I’ve deployed several systems with great success. I generally use the digium hardware, which is the company that originally developed and later opensourced the Asterisk system. They have tremendous community support, of which, voip-info.org is my favorite. So, what is Trixbox? I’ve been using Trixbox since it…
