similar to: SIP Phones-Receptionist Setup

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:.

Hi, Are there any resellers of phones that can take power over ethernet in Australia? All I can find for sale online is the BT-10[12], which is cheap but not featureful enough, and the Snom 190, which is about right, but neither of them support PoE. I'm particularly intereseted in the Snom 220 with the keypad expansion for our receptionist. Although, could you make a PoE split-out cable

Newbie question alert! I was just wondering how a receptionist phone would work with Asterisk. (I've never had a real job, so I've never really looked at different phone systems). I have looked around on the internet and seen that you can purchase 24 line phones; how does that get connected? What kind of wiring goes to the reception phone? How would I go about adding one of these to an

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

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, 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

I have two contexts and there I have some sip clients and some iax clients, in the sip clients a have extentions like, 20, 21, 22, 23, etc; in the iax clients I have some extentions like 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, etc. My extention is 2003 when I make a call the manager program show me that the extention 20 was originating the call (in red, and show my name/extention)! When I make a call to

Dear list, I need to buy a phone which could monitor the state of the maximun number of sip extensions about 200. It is for an attendant. I just saw Snom 370 with keypad and Linksys 962 but they do not let me to monitor 200 extensions states adding keypads. Do you know any kind of phone that let me do that? Which is the maximun number of extensions your phones can monitor and which models phones

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 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

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

We recently deployed 10 SNOMs as part of a PBX hosted solution. We have one phone setup as the receptionist phone, using hints to show busy office lines. This all works as expected. This is a new installation, and people are just starting to setup their phones. For those of you not familiar with SNOM phones, there is a row of keys on the right side of the phone which SNOM calls function keys. In

Hi all, At our customer site i've installed one asterisk server with 20 Grandstream GXP2000's. Firmware 1.0.1.9. When someone dials the customer, the receptionist picks up, and does an attended transfer (the 'grandstream way') to a collegue. Most of the times this goes ok, but sometimes, when the receptionist puts the call on hold, and tries te reconnect to the caller there's

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 trying to build a simple queue for the receptionist phone. In other words, there is only 1 agent and that is the receptionist phone. I just defined a few lines in queues.conf [console] strategy = ringall member => SIP/4000 ;4000 is the console extension In extensions.conf, it is: exten => 4000,1,Answer() exten => 4000,n,Queue(console) exten => 4000,n,HangUp() I pressed

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

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

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.

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

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
