Hi All I have some grandstream phones registered to my asterisk and all internal, external, voicemail services etc are working very well. I am not sure that it is a problem more so an annoyance. If someone dials my extension number or external DDI while I am already in a call rather than skipping to the next priority in the dial plan for example voicemail the line continues to ring and while in a call I can hear the phone ringing in the ear peice. If my phone is off the hook the call does jump to the next priority in the dial plan. Can anyone comment on this? Many Thanks
Is call waiting enabled on your extension(s)? Mine behaves this way, but that's how I want it. *70 enables and *71 disables (I think). I think call waiting is disabled by default, so someone would have had to enable it? -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of scott Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 4:40 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Phone still rings while on a call Hi All I have some grandstream phones registered to my asterisk and all internal, external, voicemail services etc are working very well.

[Asterisk-Users] Phone still rings while on a call

If the phone accepts the invite it will ring, if it rejects it (because you are offhook but not on a call) it may reject it internally and that is why it fails there (which soundsl ike what you want all the time). The other alternative is to see if the phone itself can limit calls rather than relying on something external like asterisk. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

All our clients find the in-ear ringing very off-putting and all have requested CW be disabled. It's in the web interface. It'd be nice if Grandstream took this on board and provided an option for call waiting, where, for example, the line 2 light flashed to indicate a call, but there was no audible indicator.
