Hi, I need to replace digital handsets in offices where there cabling is appareantly not Ethernet-compliant. Today's usage is to press a key to toggle between private ou public line before issuing an outgoing call. Are you aware of a DECT handset (to overcome cabling limitations) that mimic this line-key behaviour ? For instance, acceptable behaviours would be to dial number string and press Green key to send a call using private line or Blue key to send it using public line. Alternative is to prepend dial string with a specific code for private calls (for example, *3100123456789 meaning call 00123456789 using private line).

Hi, maybe you wan't to use '0' in front of you telephone number. eg. intern: 261 -> 261 exten: 002151-5462 -> 021515462 Bye On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 9:08 AM, Olivier<oza-4h07 at myamail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > I need to replace digital handsets in offices where there cabling is > appareantly not Ethernet-compliant. > Today's usage is to press a key to toggle between private ou public line > before issuing an outgoing call. > > Are you aware of a DECT handset (to overcome cabling limitations) that mimic > this line-key behaviour ? > For instance, acceptable behaviours would be to dial number string and press > Green key to send a call using private line or Blue key to send it using > public line. > > Alternative is to prepend dial string with a specific code for private calls > (for example, *3100123456789 meaning call 00123456789 using private line). > > Regards > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona > Register Now: http://www.astricon.net > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > ? http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >-- Niemann + Frey GmbH Bischofstra?e 80 47809 Krefeld Tel. +49 2151 5554-263 Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Gerd Frey Sitz und Registergericht: Krefeld HRB 10851
You can also use different identities.

I think they can do what you need. Here's a review of them I did last April. http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2008/04/27/siemens-gigaset-685ip-phones/ You don't say where you are. I do not believe these h/s are available in North America. Al

The solution for differing line use is trivial with asterisk - ie. stop thinking about what the phone can do and start thinking about what asterisk can do. You just ask the users to prefix with a code (as above, *31) to make a private call, then get asterisk to sort it out in the dialplan. This messes up the handsets own phone book though. However if you want to do it using the phone functions, I can recomend the Siemens gigaset range - their base units can have 6 handsets and several (up to 6 I think) SIP accounts. You select which SIP account by dialling a postfix to the number, so #1, #2, ... #6 to select each account. (With #1 being the default, so dialling the private number becomes 00123456789#2) The down-side is that only 2 handsets per base can make concurrent calls. (The bases also have an analogue port, but you probably won't use this - I never do) The Snom range can do this too, but it's a stupidly long-winded sequence to switch accounts. There's a YouTube video of it somewhere. Gordon
