similar to: how can i play a sound file over the paging system when the phone rings?

Working on a paging system for one of my sites and running into something I can't believe is this hard. In one of the zones, they want to have three different extensions ring over the pa system, using it as a loud ringer. Now the paging system does have a loud ringer built in and I can easily have it do a simultaneous ring, but all of the extensions will sound the same over the loud

Hi all, Has anyone made up custom ring tones for the Polycom SIP phones? We use different rings for different lines, but the ones it comes with are all very similar. In the interesting of sharing, here's one I made up for paging: <PAGE_BEEP se.pat.ringer.13.name="Page Beep" se.pat.ringer.13.inst.1.type="chord" se.pat.ringer.13.inst.1.value="12"

I hooked up a SPA-1001 with asterisk yesterday and all works well except the phone doesn't ring. The phone I'm using has a LCD display so I can see the call come in. (with caller id info) I can answer and complete the call but it's just not ringing. The phone rings if pluged into a POTS line so it's not the phone that's the problem. I've used the SPA-1001's web

Setting up pick/callgroups really tightly is the way to go - one of our techs here does that all the time for clients.

We are running 2.1.1 with 3 expansion modules. Presence in turned on in sip.cfg, hints are set up on the extensions and buddy watch is enabled on about 40 extensions mapped to the expansion modules. We have 3 paging groups: "Building A" with 20 phones, "Building B" with 20 phones and "Both with all 40 phones. When Building A or B is paged separately, the 601 handles it

hello how do I set up asterisk to play music on hold to callers while it rings my phones?

Hi list, Does anyone have any advice on the following: Incoming calls to our office come in on a SIP trunk. Since all our offices/desks are in close proximity, we would like just a single phone to ring when a call comes in instead of ringing every person's phone. Currently we've got this working by having all the phones in a callgroup/pickupgroup and incoming calls ring the

I am having an issue where outbound external calls. Calls made using an analog line (connected to an FXS) route correctly out the trunk (connected to an FXO). However, when I make a similar outbound call using a SIP phone the analog phone connected to the FXS rings. I was having this problem intermittently with a manual asterisk install -- a reboot would fix the problem. I am now giving

All; I'm running Asterisk 11.6-cert9 and am trying to play a pre-recorded audio file to extensions using the Page() command. The dial plan looks like this: exten => s,n,Page(${AVAILCHANS},A(${AUDIOMSG})) and the paging by itself works great. However, when I try it with the audio file, it starts to play correctly, then abruptly hangs up after 6 or 7 seconds. When I turn debug on, this

Does anyone know if its possible to have more than one sound card in an Asterisk box and use each one as a paging zone? How about left and right channels of a single sound card? I'm looking to have 2 paging outputs if possible - I've read about using a Grandstream phone on autoanswer but I'd prefer to have the feeds come directly from the * box and go into a stereo amp feeding 2

Hi everyone, I'm in the very early stages of rolling out an asterisk box at work, and one of the things I'm setting up is a trap for telemarketers >;) What I want to do is have a sipgate number in the UK here which rings for 10 seconds without calling a hard or softphone, then goes to a voicemailbox. The problem I'm having is that Playtones doesn't seem to be sending any

Folks, I have a TDM400 with an FXS module. I'm having some trouble ringing some phones attached to the device. I have a real el cheapo handset that cost me about 9UKP. It works fine, I plug it into the Wildcard and call the channel and it rings. I have tried plugging in my BT Diverse 3016 cordless phone but it will not ring, although I can call out from it. I have also tried my GPO 332L

I'm building a paging system composed of roughly 10 switches in daisy chain, with an embedded box with a speaker and a microphone for each switch. The embedded box runs my software. I need the system to be resilient to any network partition, so that anyone can send announces from any mic to all the reachable clients. I'd need also to page a subset of all the speakers. I'm

Hi guys I'm using asterisk 1.4 and going on to Snom phones. I'm trying to add a sip header to make the Snom phone use a different ring tone on one particular incoming number. I have added the following to the dial plan of the incoming context +------+------------------+-------+----------+--------------+-------------------------+ | id | context | exten | priority | app

Hi all, Is there a model of IP phone, with a built-in speaker, that can be used as part of a Overhead Paging system? Can Asterisk accomodate such a feature? Regards, Francois Random Thought: --------------- It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy. -- Groucho Marx

Hi, I'm trying to set up my SNOM 200 with extensions, with different ringtones - but it doesn't seem to work. I've defined two extensions for it in Asterisk and in the SNOM 200 configuration. In the SNOM home>settings>SIP>Lines config page, I have set the ringer for the first extension to "ringer1", and "ringer6" for the second. In

So made my first forray into 1.4 and DAHDI and hit a problem. (Not convinced this is a DAHDI issue though...) Testing an analogue line and asterisk sees the caller ID being passed, but then fails to detect ringing. A plain old analogue phone plugged in rings just fine. Console output: == Starting post polarity CID detection on channel 4 -- Starting simple switch on

Hi, I have a customer with a definitely low-tech need: he has a noisy storeroom where he wants to hear the phones ringing so he can leave the storeroom and pick up the phone in his office. So all I need is a loud SIP ringer. Does this even exist? I know paging amplifiers exist, but that`s not what I need. Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was
