I'm trying to figure out how to allow an extension to register more than once. For instance, I have all of these 4 line IP phones that I use with Asterisk and I would like to have a persons extension (say 101) ring at all four lines so that if the person is on the phone they can take another call, but it appears as though if you try to register the same extension more than once then the most recent registration is the only one that works (this determined by calling that extension and seeing which 'line' rings). This would also be handy for those working from home, this way their extension follows them whereever they are. Any thoughts on this? From what I have read so far it appears as though asterisk cannot do this and I wondered if anyone else had done something similar. Thank You!

On my 4-line IP phones I can have 4 simutaneous calls come in with only the 1 registration. When a second call comes in you push line 2 and Asterisk starts music-on-hold on line 1.

[Asterisk-Users] Re: One Extension - Two Calls?
Polycom IP501. So do you set each line to register with the same info then? Also, does this allow for two phones to have the same extension number and both get the call? If so then I must have something else wrong because like I had written, only one phone rings if two are configured for the same extension. = = = Original message = = On my 4-line IP phones I can have 4 simutaneous calls come in with only the 1 registration.

For example, here is a setup that uses 3 line keys for the same registration and allows 1 call per key. The "key" portions of the setup are "lineKeys" (# of keys to show the registration on) and "callsPerLineKey". <phone1> <reg reg.1.displayName="2101" reg.1.address="2101" reg.1.label="Line" reg.1.type="private" reg.1.thirdPartyName="" reg.1.auth.userId="2101" reg.1.auth.password="2101" reg.1.server.1.address="192.168.1.7" reg.1.server.1.port="5060" reg.1.server.1.transport="DNSnaptr" reg.1.server.2.transport="DNSnaptr" reg.1.server.1.expires="" reg.1.server.1.register="1" reg.1.server.1.retryTimeOut="" reg.1.server.1.retryMaxCount="" reg.1.server.1.expires.lineSeize="" reg.1.acd-login-logout="0" reg.1.acd-agent-available="0" reg.1.ringType="2" reg.1.lineKeys="3" reg.1.callsPerLineKey="1" /> - Eric
I set registration for line 1 only. You would only set the other lines if you are registering with another server or with a different username. When a second call comes in it shows up under line 2,3 etc. (this works the same for my Snom and Mitel phones) To get two or more phones to ring when extension 101 is called you would do the following: sip.conf: [phone1] username=phone1 secret=pass1 type=friend etc.... [phone2] username=phone2 secret=pass2 etc.... extensions.conf: exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/phone1&SIP/phone2) Hope that helps.... casasterisk@valnet.com wrote:>Polycom IP501.
