similar to: How to change RINGING style for internal calls

Is there a way to make an outside call hear "The person at phone number XXXX is unavail", but when an internal extension calls another extension, they hear "The person at extension number XXXX is unavail"? I swear I've read this somewhere before but I'm not typing in the right search. I probably found it before by complete accident. Of course, we want the outside

This is a new post, but its really a three-time retread. I hope someone has a clue on this, as it could be helpful in many circumstances: I am looking for a way to dial 'special' an extension (in house, like 102), which are all Polycom IP. I'd like to ring the extension as normal, but have the option of, while the line is ringing, to press a digit, hop out to a new context and/or

Does someone have a link to step-by-step instructions to making the Line-In on the console sound card a MOH source? I know this has to work somehow.

Get the new firmware - it's supposed to have changed the callerid display presentation to include name and number. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Chris Coulthurst Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 1:19 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Displayed CallerID on

I'm trying to find a way to generate an 'internal extensions' tonelist but I can't seem to find anything on how to do this. My idea was to start a Playtones(intercom) tonelist and not indicate ringing to the line (dead air). But then, somehow StopPlayTones needs to be run once the ringing telephone picks up. This seems like a dirty way to do this. I envision an option to the

Does anyone have success in upgrading Aastra/Sayson 480i CT firmware? All I get, no matter what I've tried is "Unable to upgrade firmware". tftpd is working because the dialplan freshens, and I have aastra.cfg whatevermacaddressfile.cfg and firmware.st in /tftpboot Am I missing something stupid? Is there another way to upgrade it? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

Hello, I have a TDM400P with 2x2 configuration of FXOs and FXSs. I set a test extension of '444' to dial out a specific zap trunk and call a local #. First time I call out to '444' everything works fine. If I hang up the call, and within 10 seconds dial the same number again, I get a fast busy. Seems it isn't letting go of the trunk or something, and I don't have a

Does anyone have a quick-n-dirty context to implement *66 automatic callbacks? I have a few people who like to have no call waiting on their phone (can you really blame them?) It would be nice to have something like *66, and also like 'Camp On', but instead of waiting something like 30 seconds, monitor the channel until it becomes available, then immediately ring back your phone to

Can anyone explain the Polycom Text Messaging features built in to the IP 500/600? Can Asterisk (or something else) talk to it? I've seen vague references to MSN Messenger, and somehow that's mentally disturbing.

Does anyone know how to change the display format of caller id on the screen of a polycom 300/500/600? When I call FROM my 'shop phone 203' TO my 'office phone 201', a Polycom 500, it only says 'Shop' as the calling party. More specifically, the two lines look like this: Incoming call from: Shop I'm looking for a way to make it use both lines for caller id,

I have 3 analog trunks zap/1, zap/4 and zap/5. zap/5 is the least used line. Would the following work for 911 calls?

Ever since I upgraded my Polycom 500 to the newest sip.ld (kept the old bootrom), when I dial things like "*98" for voicemail, the screen shows "9*8" and doesn't dial my voicemail system! Is this user error, or errors in the new firmware? Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

When I try and park a call by transferring to 700, it audibly says to me "701", and then instead of hanging up with me, it puts me on hold. The only way to park the call is to send it blind to 700, but then I wouldn't know which parking spot the call is in! Before I send any .conf files to the list, does anyone recognize this behavior, and have a workaround? Chris Coulthurst

I swear I read somewhere on one of the MANY pages that there is a script out there that can read the extensions.conf file and create the MySQL DB records on the fly. Anyone know where I look for such a thing? Sure speeds up migration! Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com

I had CC readers going over the internet (with pings over 80ms) connected to Linksys PAP2. It was only successful once every 3 attempts. I had 100% reliability when it was connected on LAN. Timing is an issue, if you doing everything on LAN it should not be a problem. Just make sure you use G.711 protocol. > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com

Being one the many people trying to track down echo 'ghosts' I ran across this page: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-November/071301.html suggesting ways to adjust the gain. I have a TDM400P 2x2 config with Kewlstart lines configured. I've located a local telco milliwatt test line, and when I call it, the gain numbers are no where near 14844. Now, this

I have a Polycom 500 and would love one of the line-appearance keys to show me if a certain person/people are on the phone upstairs. This 'hint' priority seems to have little-to-no documentation. So, if anyone out there has a clue about this, here are a couple of questions: Can you 'hint' Zap and IAX2 extensions? Can you concatenate extensions together? (i.e. exten =>

When I try to transfer calls with a Polycom 500, (blind or not), the digits don't display properly on the screen, and the call is just put on hold. I also can't park a call for the same reasons. Is there something funny with sending digits to this polycom? I'm sure this is something silly. Sip version 1.5.2.0054 and using the old bootrom Chris Coulthurst chris@shuksan.com
