Dialogic SR 5.1.1
Dialogic discontinued support for SR 5.1.1 on December 31st, 2007. Pronexus is therefore not able to provide support for this service release from January 1st, 2008 on.
If you have Dialogic SR 6.0 and above compatible voice boards and encounter a problem that is diagnosed to be Dialogic specific, you will be required to upgrade to Dialogic SR 6.0 and a higher version of VBVoice to continue resolution of your problem. Escalation requests involving Dialogic Support requires a current Per-Unit Plan which is an annual Maintenance and Support fee applied to all supported Dialogic products.
Also as of January 1st, 2008 Pronexus will no longer support configuration for voice boards not supported under Dialogic SR 6.0 and above.
