Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent receptionists phone? Aastra? Grandstream? Something with (potentially) lots of BLFs, large(ish) screen, headset and most importantly the ability to transfer calls? I've installed five Snom 370s that seemed ideal but my client is very very unhappy as the Snom 370 can't transfer a call correctly if there's another call coming in (details

Hi, We are looking towards a 8+ CO line setup (20 extensions) in our office but we do not want an IVR(auto-attendant) feature. All incoming will be answered by a receptionist. I have read the multi-line configuration for cisco 7960 thread in this list but that way I believe we could only display 6 incoming lines. What will happen to the rest? Does the expansion module for the cisco 7960 work

Hi, Quick question. With an old phone system a receptionist receiving a call has 1 button to push to transfer calls to a specific extension, with Asterisk, a receptionist would actually put the caller on hold, pick up another line, call the extension, ask if the person is available, hang up pick up the caller again and transfer. To me it's seems a long way to simply do a receptionist

Hello, Can anyone provide me with an example of how they have set up their dialplan and handset for a receptionist desk that handles a large volume of concurrent calls? I'm having a problem with transferring calls while several calls are either answered or coming into a receptionist's telephone at the same time. Thanks, Colin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Hi! I've got a number of extensions (about 50) on a working Asterisk setup. For each user, I have two extensions configured (for example 11021 for a Cisco 79XX phone and 11022 for X-Lite), and a ring group that ties the two extensions together (for example, 1102). Reason being that if the user is away from his/her desk or working offsite, they can answer the soft phone on the PC. From

I am looking at placing a system in an office with a central receptionist, and phones for each individual employee thereafter. Could I use a Snom 220 with additional keypads to view if the lines are in use by the other employees? Fred is in sales... A call comes into the receptionist and they transfer the call to Fred. The receptionist can tell Fred is still on the phone by viewing the assigned

I've been playing with Asterisk for a few weeks and it's working great. I have a question about getting multi-line receptionist phones working. I was thinking about getting one of these expansion ports: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheet0 9186a008008883d.html What are people using for receptionist phones that show all the extensions in

Hi to all, I got an Asterisk with 2 BRI(7 pstn numbers and 4 concurrent calls) and 15 SIP extensions. The receptionist has a SNOM-360. How many SIP accounts would you configure on that phone? Only one would be enough? One SIP account, has a limit on concurrent calls? I saw that the SNOM-360 can handle up to eleven SIP accounts. Thanks -- .:FaberK:.

I would like to setup an option in my digital receptionist that callers can select to hear a read back of their Caller ID. It would be something like, "the number you are calling from is...". I think I can reuse the festival script that is built in, but ideally this could be accomplished without using festival because Allison's voice is so much more pleasant. I'm just a few

Hi there, I've got an installation where there's 12 POTS line incoming into *, and am trying to get some insight as to which VoIP hard phone would be most suitable for this scenario. Most of the VoIP phones I've looked at only have 4-6 line presentations; is anyone aware of one that has more? I tried to get some info about Snom's Keypad 220 since it has loads of programmable

Hey, all. Just wondering if there's a GUI out there -- preferably OSS, but I'll take what-have-you -- that a) can run on an Ubuntu/Debian box, and b) allows a receptionist to see what calls are in-process, and forward calls from their phone to somewhere else.

I've tried searching the archives but come up empty. I'm looking for a "receptionist" application, that could be used in a business center. Lots of different incoming phone numbers (200+), all need to be answered in a different way, by a human. This is typically enabled with a terminal of some form that pops up the company and contact information for the called number, and a

Dear all, I'm currently researching options for a MT asterisk gui/system for a small business centre that will have 12 units in it. Each unit will be configured for one extension. The system there will have a max of 12 concurrent calls to PSTN provided via an ADSL/SDSL link to our VoIP provider in the UK, using g.711, maybe g.729 dependant on networking costs. Fallback will be to 4 analogue

Here is the situation that I would like to create: Call comes in Receptionist sees that the caller ID is Jenny <8675309> Receptionist picks up phone and transfers call to Batman Batman looks at his phone and sees that the caller ID is Jenny <8675309> I can't seem to figure out how to forward the caller ID. Is this possible with Asterisk?

We are writing a program using the manager for * for our receptionist to use once the system go live. If anyone is interested in helping us with testing please let me know. We are designing it for a touch screen monitor for her to do transfers, see whose on the phone and a few other features. Its in the development stage and has bugs. but I think its gonna be really good. If your interested

Hello, I have a customer who has their front door integrated to their current phone system. If someone presses the buzzer, the secretaries phone will ring, and she can talk to the person at the door. By pressing ** she can release the door. Anyone have any sort of integration like this. Are there IP devices anyone is using? They have a pizza box server as their asterisk server with

Thanks for all the comments on the 3Com phones. Thankfully, there is a large number of phones out there to dig through looking for the right solution. What I have not been able to find, after spending all weekend looking, is a good solution for an attendant console. We have 2 receptionists that need to be able to view all 60+ phones (we could probably weed it down a bit if we had to,

I am so far unable to get the busy lamps on a Snom 220 to work either with current cvs or asterisk 1.0. I am using the hint extension and the Snom 220 just as described in the "mini-howto" on: http://www.mail-archive.com/asterisk-users@lists.digium.com/msg49781.html There are also a couple of wiki pages referencing this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+standard+extensions
