We use SER to front several Asterisk systems. Phones register on SER, which also acts as a load balancing and failover proxy for the Asterisks. Phone account details are held in MySQL, which Asterisk could access but does not currently do so. At present, call routing is done on the Asterisks using a FastAGI program which does the database access. We've been asked to implement busy lamps.

Hello Happy New Year to all!! I've just completed porting from Asterisk 1.2 to 1.4. I did this by doing a clean install on a new box, and moving over configuration and scripts where needed. All went surprisingly well! Anyway, one lingering issue is that the function key "lamps" on our Snom phones have all stopped working! We're using a mix of Snom 290/320/360 phones and

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'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

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

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

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

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

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,

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. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

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

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 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, 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

Hi all A quick question about busy lamps I have lamps working 'sort-of' on my GXP2000 lamps flash with ringing and go solid red when call gets answered but stay green when a call is made from the extension. Setup is Ext 200, 201, 202, each monitor the other two when 200 calls 202 - the BLF on 200 and 201 flash red - when 202 answers both 200 and 201 show BLF for 200 as red but

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

I'm looking for an external device that can flash when there is new voicemail in a mailbox. I'm using an SPA3000 with a Uniden 5.8 ghz wireless phone system. Problem is, the Uniden system has it's own answering machine, which I don't want to use. But the message lamps are driven solely by the internal answering machine function. Looking for something else to give a visual
