Hi, I have the following scenario: We currently have 1 incoming line, that 2 POT phones plug into, and when we have an incoming call, both phones ring. Is it possible to have Asterisks in parallel, so that when the 2 POT phones ring, I can have a Voip phone, which "is" plugged in and configured through Asterisk also ring (so that all three of them are ringing), and then someone can then choose which phone they want to answer? Richard

Though VoiP telephone (Asterisk) may start ringing a second later than analog phones connected to the line directly. I do not think that would be a problem. Andrei
As per Caleer ID spec. Caller ID info is tranmitted between first and second rings. This is to allow the phone to 'wake up' and receive the Caller ID information. If you were to pick up the phone right before it rang the first time or shortly after the first ring stopped you will not get caller id. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dorn Hetzel Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 5:15 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk in parallel with PSTN I've got a configuration with PSTN line connected to FXO on TDM400P ringing through to a phone connected on a Sipura SPA-3000. The phone *does* ring before the caller-id is available. In fact, it shoes some alternate message like "waiting for caller id info" right after the first ring and then changes to the real caller-id after the 2nd ring. -Dorn On Thu, Dec 23, 2004 at 03:44:14PM -0500, Steve Prior wrote:> Andrei (MPI) wrote: > > >richard wrote: > >>Asterisk also ring (so that all three of them are ringing), and then> >>someone can then choose which phone they want to answer? > > > > > >Hi Richard, > > > >Absolutely, you can do that with Asterisk.
