asterisk users - Sep 2005 - Extension Mobility (roaming) Cisco 7960

Hi, 

I was wondering if it is possible to setup with Asterisk a Cisco 7960 to use
extension mobility / roaming. 

Meaning that a user logs into a phone and his profile moves with him / her. 

I have a network of ~75 Cisco 7960 phones, running SIP 7.5 distributed
across 2 asterisk servers in 2 cities. I would like to enable the users to
have the capability to move from one phone to another one with the extension
moving with them. 

Also have the capability that when a user uses a soft phone like Eyebeam,
they don't need to have 2 extensions setup with a ring group in order for it
to work.

 

Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?

Please let me know

Thanks

 

Sascha

Hi,

You can do this with agents.
Give every SIP phone it's own sip.conf entry, and every user
it's own agent code.
In your dialplan, call the users with: Dial(Agent/userX)

As soon as a user logs in from another phone (cisco or
softphone), the old phone will be logged out automatically
(that's what I experienced here), so you dont have to worry
about users not logging off from a phone.

Good luck

You can set up the users using the agent channel. 
Then have a AgentLogin fuction in your dialplan. That would let the
phone ring where they are.
 
Extension Called ID could be handled with a call to the Set(CallerID...)
functions that could be done as the person dials out in the dial plan.
 
Message Waiting Indication would be an issue for mobile users. Unless
you did not worry about stutter dialtone and the lighting up of the MW
light.
