[Asterisk-Users] One phone ringing, one phone flashing ?
Hi, well, some clients have strange ideas and wishes (at least to my mind). Yesterday I gave a presentation about asterisk to a CEO. At the end he asked me whether asterisk is able to do the following: When a call for the CEO comes in, the calling number should be shown on the display of his phone and the phone of his secretary. The secretary's phones should ring, but at his phone only a light should flash. ;-)) No, turning off the sound isn't the solution. This restriction should e.g. only apply, when it is an external call, internal calls should result in ringing both phones. I'm not quite sure, whether this could be a feature of asterisk or the phone or both together. Does anything of you successfully set up something like this or could recommend a phone that would help/support it? Thanks a lot in advance, Stefan

First, set up two different lines on the boss's phone- one that you'll use for inbound external calls, the other that you'd use for inbound internal calls. When a new call came in, the call would be routed simultaneously (through DIAL(TECH/EXTN&TECH/EXTN2) ) to both the secretary's phone and to the boss's phone external line. The ringer can be independantly specified on each line for the Cisco phone- so you specify a custom ringtone that's essentially silent- record some dead air for his inbound external line. Since the Cisco displays CID and flashes the red light on ringing, he gets his flashing light- and it rings as needed at the secretaries desk. Cheap, dirty solution- but functional in a short timeframe. -pbd. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Working on it right now, its called shared line appearance, and it is a feature of both. If anyone has patches, ideas and comments, here is your chance to get some work and not get billed for it.

You can do it with a Polycom (and probably a Cisco) by setting an Alert var and it will handle the call using a defined class.

this may work on Grandstream phones... set the ring tone to number 3 which is empty, so no tone and set the ring tone number 1 or 2 to ring on CallerID matching (e.g. everything starting with 678 will use ring tone 2) ... I never tested it, but the configuration shows the fields, so it may work..... Regards, Marc Stefan-Michael.
