asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Delayed ringing on some SIP phones

Hello all,

One of the buildings I have an asterisk box deployed in is used by two small
companies on two floors. They have an agreement between them whereby they'll
answer each other's incoming calls and take messages if the office is empty
/ everyone is on the phone.

Each of them has an  ISDN BRI delivered to asterisk via zaphfc, then dropped
into a context as follows:
exten => s,1,SetCIDName(Company 1)
exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/200&SIP/201&etc.,30)
exten => s,3,Voicemail(su200)

Each company is able to see on the LCD on their SIP phones whether the call
is for them or the folks up/downstairs.

What I'd like to do is implement a delayed ringing strategy - i.e. if the
call comes in for Company 1, only their SIP phones will ring for the first
15 seconds, then if there's not been an answer, company 2's SIP phones
will
also start ringing.

Is there any way to do this without stopping Company 1's phones ringing
(i.e. timing out the dial statement after 15 seconds)?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Chris

Well, I asked this, too and the solution was:
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/company1,15)
exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/company1&SIP/company2,30)

Bingo!  You got it!  Timeout the dial after X seconds - and then do a Dial
to both companies for another another X seconds.

Remember - busy does a jump to n+101 (some one is there...) and
unavailable
just goes to the next step.

dont forget that with bristuff (and presumably 1.2-beta1) n+201 is
called if the client isnt connected that you tried to dial.  But if you
are using 1.2 you really should use labels they are so much nicer :)

Either this is a very simple question or I'm missing something...

Wouldn't something like this work for you?

[incoming-bri-one]
exten => s,1,SetCIDName(Company 1)
exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/200&SIP/201&etc.,15) ; comapny 1's phones
exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/200&SIP/201&SIP/300&SIP/301&etc.,15) ;
company 1's & 2's phones
exten => s,4,Voicemail(su200)

[incoming-bri-two]
exten => s,1,SetCIDName(Company 2)
exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/300&SIP/301&etc.,15) ; company 2's phones
exten => s,3,Dial(SIP/300&SIP/301&SIP/200&SIP/201&etc.,15) ;
comapny 2's & 1's phones
exten => s,4,Voicemail(su300)
