I have a need to have the two sip phones register with the same extension (at least I think I have the need :) A client wants an incoming call to ring at the receptionists desk and also at their desk. If the receptionist is in it will be answered there and put on hold followed by a "Joe, you have a call on line 1". Is there a way to do this w/ asterisk? I've played with two

Guys. What do you think about Dell hardware and Asterisk? Whos using it, comments, any special specs recommended or models?

hi, i am trying to do autoattendant but failing. as in the manual i inserted the background(welcome-mainmenu) file so that after the sound the caller can dial the extension he wants to call. i figured that the background sound wasn't coming in the asterisk. how do we do this without first loading the welcome message? for example after certain rings the caller can dial the extension no to

While on conversation with another party, I dial the atxfer key sequence. Asterisk says "Transfer" then gives you a dial tone, while put the other party on hold music. I dial the transferee number and talk with the transferee, then I hang up and the other party must be connected with the transferee. But this doesn't work the transferee hears a beep. -- Playing 'beep'

Hello, I am trying to setup my Asterisk box to accept calls from the FWD network. I've followed all the config advice / samples I've found on the web. Making calls to devices on the FWD network from my Asterisk box works flawlessly, but whenever I try to call my Asterisk box from a FWD client I get a busy signal, and a "Call Disconnected" 486 error. What's odd is that I

I have a Polycom Soundpoint IP 500 that I have been using with Asterisk for a few weeks. It has been working OK, no major problems other than a freeze up every now and then, until today. The power apparently went out last night and for some reason the phone appears to be working but I keep getting the following errors repeating over and over in my Asterisk log file (IP's X'ed out): Aug

Hi everybody, I have corrected this line in extensions.conf by stripping spaces off and now it executes: exten => 22999,1,VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM}) when it runs, the mail box number is asked and password too. I expected no question were made, because I inserted CALLERIDNUMBER and s in front of box number. Anybody knows why? Thank to you all, very kind members of this list! Ciao Mauro

Hi List; I am trying to use wiki via the link (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk) in effective way to find the needed resource for me, but still it is hard to arrive for the needed information. For example: what is the best (shortest) way to search for information related to the command playbak()? Using the backlines, it make the eyes feel hard by keep reading without

I have an asterisk box and SIP / IAX2 phones. To call out, users have to add 0 (zero) before a real telephone number. That means, that if they want to call someone that has a number 123456, they have to call 0-123456. Simple, right? This has a serious drawback though - when someone calls us from the number 123456, we see the callerID 123456, and we're unable to use the callback/redial

Does anyone have any experience with an Asterisk compatible softphone application which meets the following criteria: 1) Is able to use touch screen rather than mouse for on-screen functions. 2) Has an API which can be used to export Caller ID info to another App on the same compuer. Thanks Bill

I am having a strange problem with polycom 501 and dailing. I've read the archives and no one there specifically mentions this problem, so I thought I'd ask here. The problem is that when the user picks up the receiver or pressed new call, sometimes they will enter a number (for example 95072091234) and in the middle of the number the cursor might jump back one digit. So the call above,

Hello All, I apologize for the slightly off-topic question, but I'm sure that the people best acquainted with the issue would be hanging around here. We recently deployed several Linksys POE switches for some smaller customers (10-24 station) and appear to be suffering from intermittent lock-ups of the SNOM phones attached. Obviously we are running Asterisk for the gateway, but I was
