I am looking for a push to talk solution does anyone know of a good PTT phone one that works with asterisk. I'm not talking about polycom fake PPT... I'm talking about a real call into Asterisk and having to push a button on a headset or the phone to actually talk. not multicast talk like polycom. I wish polycom had a real PTT headset but I cannot find one, I like their phones. Cisco has a PTT headset but seems only for 7960 model. Those phones are older and diffucult time find a new one and hard to get SIP on 7960. So is there a PTT phone out there that works great with asterisk ? Thanks so much.

It looks to me that the PTT functionality can easily be achieved using the mute button that most phones and headsets have. One could even implement it independent of any specific phone using the Asterisk function MuteAudio(). One could use the DTMF features for signaling. jg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Asterisk supports full-duplex telephony, so there's no need for any of that "over to you, roger and out" business -- you can actually talk in both directions at once (assuming your voices are pitched far enough apart for each of you to be able to understand what the other is saying). You could try wiring the normally-closed contact of a change-over switch across the microphone in the handset of any compatible phone ..... that should silence it until the switch is pressed. -- AJS The best programming language is 63% tin, 37% lead.
Hi Jerry As others have eluded to, the 'PTT' feature can mean different things to different people depending on their background. Is it fair to say that you're looking for a one-touch button which initiates a call to the other end and causes the other end to automatically answer in speakerphone mode? If that would foot the bill then have a look at the auto-answer feature of Yealink and Snom phones (and others I'm sure). It can be easily triggered by adding a SIP header line into your dialplan so that the necessary header is included with the invite (this triggers the auto-answer at the remote end). If you have either of these brands to play with and need the dialplan code just sing out.
