asterisk users - Sep 2006 - How to use Grandstream GX-2000 phones for paging

Hi,

My client has all Grandstream GX-2000 phones in his office and he wants
receptionist to use them for paging as well. Currently they are using Nortel
and receptionist can easily do paging. He said that he had somebody setup
their old Asterisk system in a way, that receptionist could dial an
extension, after which her voice was heard on all grandstream phones'
speaker phones.

I want to know how to setup this type of feature on grandstream phones, i.e.
dialing an extension will activate all phones' speaker phones.

There's a PDF there that tells you (a) what settings to put on the 
phone, and (b) how to configure Asterisk to sent the SIP header that 
tells the phone to auto-answer.

Cheers,
    Nic.

Is paging/intercom possible with Cisco 7905, 7912, 7940, 7960 and 7970 phones?

Creative use of cron and some simple bash & dialplan scripting will do
this fairly easily.

You need to make a cron job that runs a script that creates a spool file.

If you dump a file into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ it will create a call 
based on the information within the file.  Do a search for asterisk spool 
outgoing for all the formats and examples.  I have used it and it works 
rather well.
