asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Cisco 7960 Line rollover for secretary's phone.

Hi folks.  I attempting to set up a Cisco 7960 (SIP) so that if the user is on 
a call, other incoming calls will ring through to her phone and can be 
answered.  So far I have only been able to get this working by using the 
call-waiting function, which is cumbersome and does not properly allow the 
first call to be retreived.  Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Try chan_sccp.

I had my devices working with SIP, but the SCCP support is
great and the SCCP image is way better.

Make sure each line logs in with the same account/id.

The cisco is then smart enough to know they're the same thing and still 
ring when it's in use.

If you register 2 line buttons with the same SIP account, then the
second call will go to the second button. Also search the list for
this.
