asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Paging in Asterisk

Our office does not have a PA system, and in our current phone system we have a
certain extension that we dial that pages over the speaker of all the phones in
the office.  Does Asterisk support this feature?  If so, could someone tell me
the best way to set this up in AsteriskNOW?

Thanks, 
Nick

I could not tell you in asterisknow but I use this feature with Polycom 
phones on all of my installs.  It is very well documented in voip-info.org

Hi All,

I've been trying to send a message to the list for the past 3 days, but 
I neither get bounces nor the message appearing in the list, so someone 
on IRC sugested I reply to an existing message.

My subject is related to this message, although slightly different.

Apologies if my actual messages appear in the list. Here's a paste of 
one of my past messages:
--------------------------------------
I'm playing with a PA-type setup, where people can dial a number, and 
Asterisk would place a call file to get another phone to dial in (auto 
answering) and play to it a sound.

It's woking, but I'm getting some errors, as I'll paste below.

So, my setup:
    Asterisk 1.4.13
    Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
    Linux Kernel 2.6.18-5-686

SIP client:
    snom360 5.3 soft-phone
    SIP/pa at from-sip

My call file:
    Channel: Local/pa at localtest/n
    Extension: 6600

extensions.conf:

    [from-sip]
    exten => 6600,1,Answer
    exten => 6600,n,Wait(1)
    exten => 6600,n,Playback(demo-thanks)
    exten => 6600,n,Hangup
   
    [localtest]
    exten =>
pa,1,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:<sip:asterisk>\;answer-after=0)
    exten => pa,n,Dial(SIP/pa)


The Console (-rvvv):

  -- Attempting call on Local/pa at localtest/n for 6600 at default:1 (Retry 1)
  -- Executing [pa at localtest:1] 
SIPAddHeader("Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,2", 
"Call-Info:<sip:asterisk>;answer-after=0") in new stack
  -- Executing [pa at localtest:2] Dial("Local/pa at
localtest-f5d9,2",
"SIP/pa") in new stack
  -- Called pa
  -- SIP/pa-081ddd30 is ringing
  -- SIP/pa-081ddd30 answered Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,2
== Starting Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,1 at default,6600,1 failed so 
falling back to exten 's'
  -- Executing [s at default:1] Wait("Local/pa at localtest-f5d9,1",
"1") in
new stack

[Oct 11 19:10:52] WARNING[3912]: translate.c:163 framein: no samples for

.
.
.
And it keeps going, really fast, indefinately, until hung up.

Any ideas? How about the 's' error above?

Thanks,
bu
