[Asterisk-Users] Can you explain why multiple registration is an important (missing) feature ?
Hi, I've read many times multiple registration is an important missing feature in Asterisk. I'm not sure I've understood the reason(s) behind that. Could you explain ?

[Asterisk-Users] Can you explain why multiple registration is an important (missing) feature ?
Hi Oliver, just one advantage of multiple registrations : Imagine you are working in two different departments with your time split 50/50. Now you have to different offices. You have an office in department A but when working for department B you are at a different one. Now you want your personal phone number ringing in both offices at the same time. This would be much easier if asterisk learns how to deal with multiple registrations.

Agent can log in from every phone. And you send incoming phone call to agent instead to extension. -- Tomislav Par?ina Lama Computers Split Stinice 12, 21000 Split Tel.: +385(21)495148 Mob.: +385(91)1212148 SIP: tomo@pbx.lama.hr e-mail: tparcina#lama.hr http://www.lama.hr

I don't follow you weary well. I understand that we need to treat phone and users different, but I don't thing that is easy to do with Asterisk 1.2. Maybe something will change, but till then... -- Tomislav Par?ina Lama Computers Split Stinice 12, 21000 Split Tel.: +385(21)495148 Mob.: +385(91)1212148 SIP: tomo@pbx.lama.hr e-mail: tparcina#lama.hr http://www.lama.hr
