asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Re: [Asterisk-bsd] Asterisk not accepting multiple SIP phone logins

Hello.  You can't have two phones login with the same extension.  You
need to assign one phone to 101, and the other to 102.  Set the user to 101
on one and 102 on the other.

Actually, that isn't quite 100% accurate.

The more accurate statement is that you can't have two phones log in as
the same username/etc in sip.conf.  You can, however have extensons.conf
ring numerous phones all at the same time for a given extension.

What you can do is set up two separate phone configurations in sip.conf,
one per phone.  I.E:

[101-phone1]
...sip config...

[101-phone2]
...sip config...

and then modify your dial command in extensions.conf to look something
like:

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/101-phone1&SIP/101-phone2,20,tr)
