similar to: Concept for line appearances and bridging: anyone?

say I needed to send a broadcast message that I wanted every user to hear when the pick up thier phone? can I "Play,message" on a line just before they get dialtone? or maybe after they dial before ring? how about a "ringdown" to a voicemail box and on end return them to thier line for the dialout? can * do ringdowns? when a user picks up an extension it automagically

Does anyone have Shared (bridged) Line Appearance working in Asterisk 1.4? Specifically with the Aastra 55i. Specifically, I am using the Aastra 55i with the expansion module. We want to see if other handsets are being used. (BLF) Getting BLF to work would be a great start. It sounds like setting up the hints properly will achieve this. right? Not totally sure how this should be configured.

I have a client with 20 GXP-2000s. Everything seems to be working fine. However, after a couple of weeks of use, the client is having a hard time adjusting to the new IP based phone systems and only misses one feature from their old Lucent system. That is, they had 8 analog lines before and all their old Lucent phones showed a button for each line. So, it was easy for anyone to say,

I apologize for the double post. I am curious as to what the usefullness is of the multiple line appearance feature on Polycom phones. I setup our phones to register one line per extension but I hear the IP501's can do three line appearances. Why and how could this feature be applied? Thanks again all.

Has anyone figured out how to mimick a traditional bridged-appearance? My guys like the ability to put a call on hold on line "3" and it's the same call on line "3" on everyone else's phone.

I am trying to get an understanding of how line appearances work like on the cisco 7960 phones. Is there a wiki somewhere about how this works? Also, the 7960 phones let you register more than one ext. Why would you want more than one or is this connected to line appearances? Is there a way to have phones use more than one codec, say use g.711 to talk with * and g.729 to talk with another

Greetings, I am trying to get either of the above features to work with *, but can't seem to get it quite right. If anyone has them working, I'd sure appreciate an extract from the relevant config files. Or, maybe I'm tilting at windmills, and * doesn't support them - in which case, the underlying business need is to provide the one incoming call on more than one

Has anyone successfully implemented concurrent appearance of the same PBX extension on multiple SIP phones? When using Cisco 7960s under call manager, you can have several phones with the same line appearance, but the first user to seize a line makes it inaccessible to other phones. Under SIP operation it seems as though this is not possible, but we don't see group ringing definable for

Does anyone know if asterisk supports PLAR (Private Line Auto Ringdown). The Oreilly (Asterisk: Future of Telephony) book mentions it in passing saying that all you need to enable it is to set immediate=yes in zapata.conf. Has anyone implemented this in brokerage trading environments? Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Basically, I am looking to set up an extension which will be used as a "help-line". I want it to function kind of like the bat phone from the old Batman series, where Commissioner Gordon would pick up the extension in his office and it would ring the phone back at Wayne's mansion. Is there a way to duplicate this functionality with Asterisk? I just need asterisk to auto-dial an

Does Asterisk work with Lucent or any other PBX phone systems????

I have an existing Meridian PBX system that I am looking at replacing with Asterisk for the multi-office features. One of the many areas that I am unclear on is if we can use the existing phones from the old PBX system? Some are Meridian M7310 and some are Norstar M7208 models. They each support multiple lines with a multi-line display, but I haven't seen anything on this list about sporting

Hello, I have a situation where a remote worker dials in to the asterisk server, enters the "secret code", then dials out via Disa on a PRI. This was all working great until this morning. Now the calls is placed out, connected but there is no voice from/to either phone. This is what shows on the CLI when the calls is bridged at a verbose of 4 and a debug of 1: [Jan 25 17:51:40] --

I am starting to get the hang of this, I think. These are more implementation questions; "is this a proper/good way of using/doing this" kind of questions. The IP501 has three line appearances. I have learned that shared line appearances cannot place calls, only receive them. They're indicated by the "half telephone" icon beside the button. Private line

Hi there, is there a possibility to count the number of appearances of an element in a vector ? i mean of any given element.. deliver all elements which are exactly xtimes in this vector ? thx in advance !!

Hi - I'm wondering if any has experience with the Uniden UIP-200 phones. The product info says that the 8 led buttons at the top are all programmable. Can they be programmed as separate line appearances (ala Snom 200, Cisco 7960, Zultys Zip4x4, etc)? In other words - is the phone capable of multiple SIP registrations? Also, the post about these phones at voip-info.org mentions some

I am currently a new asterisk user and new to telephony in general. I have been looking around to implement a solution with asterisk that has many of the nice features of a proprietary PBX for a small office. The features that I am looking for that I haven't been able to find any information on are: - status light indicators for which incoming line in ringing - status light indicators for

So are there any plans for bridged line appearance support in Asterisk? The new Linksys SPA9000 supports it. A lot of other VoIP systems from Nortel, Sylantro etc. supposedly support it. Seems to me that Asterisk needs to get on the bandwagon or be relegated to call centers, specialized voicemail applications, and phone chat businesses. It's not needed for companies used to PBX's but

I am getting ready to install Asterisk and I was looking into the Polycom IP600 phones. I spoke with Polycom sales to verify the multiple line appearance and they said it would work. More specifically, if lines 1-3 all contain the same SIP registration info, the Polycom will only send out 1 SIP registration to the server and then handle the calls ringing on multiple lines. I was wondering if

Has anyone had any success with getting SLA going between 2 SIP phones? (Particularly a set of Cisco 79xx's) The SLA document that comes with the asterisk source is about as clear as mud. Does anyone have a working sip.conf, sla.conf, and extensions.conf that I can use for reference? The part I'm most confused about is how to build the lines in sip.conf and how the phones should
