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

Greetings, We are looking at installing a VoIP system with Asterisk and are currently looking at the line of 3Com phones. Has anybody had success with using the following phones? We need to buy a lot and we don't want to end up with phones that don't work properly with asterisk. 3Com 3101 (model with speakerphone) 3Com 3102 Business Phone 3Com 3103 Manager Phone 3Com 3105

Hi, I have questions about the Polycom 601 and side card.... 1) In the side card the lights all time off... But all functions it's ok. I need help with extension module of polycom...

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

I'm looking for some ideas of people who have setup a sidecar (eg: Aastra 560M). Obviously it's handy for BLF (to see who's on a call)...but what else? Anyone want to share interesting things they've done with a sidecar? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi We are about to buy several Snom phones. Does anyone have warnings or advices against these phones ? Our finalists were Cisco, Polycom and Snom. We will be using only the SIP protocol. Thanks Patrick

We are looking to replace our existing Legacy PBX with Asterisk. Our receptionist currently has a light display for a certain extension when someone is on a call. When she needs to transfer she simply hits that button. Is it possible to use a snom360 + Sidecar to monitor 30 extensions and make transfers using the buttons? Does the Cisco 7960 expansion module work with asterisk? Thanks.

One of our clients is using a Grandstream GXP2000 with an attendant console. We have used the same phone with past clients successfully however this particular operator processes around 200 calls a hours and the GXP2000 for sure does not like the quick line shuffling and call volume. We get the following problems randomly: 1. menu stops working 2. transfer key stops working 3. Line 1 LED gets

I am trying to setup an extension of *7XXX that will allow me to dial *7 and then any extension and use the Pickup application to pickup a ringing phone. Ideally it will also check if the phone is ringing somehow and then either dial the extension or pick it up if it is ringing. But I can't get that far. If I use *7268 specially it works fine, but as soon as I introduce any wild

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

Is there a way to force a channel to continue in the dialplan after the remote end hangs up? Specifically, I am trying to play around with setting up a fax server. I can receive the fax, but sometimes the sending fax hangs up before my System command for printing can run and the fax never prints. I know I can work around by setting up a custom context and use the 'h'

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

Hi everyone, Ive just installed a bunch of Snom 360s, and now having a NIGHTMARE of problems! Ive got a receponist phone with a extra sidecar on it. And when she gets 2+ calls and puts them on hold, when she goes to transfer them out the calls on hold get merged together. Somehow the calls on hold get merged and not to the extension needed!! Any help on this would be great guys, that would be

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

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

Hi All, I have a pretty standard Asterisk PBX setup with 60 SIP Peers, mostly Polycom 501's and a receptionist phone, Polycom IP 601 with 3 attached sidecars and Buddy Watch enabled monitoring all other SIP phones. The problem occurs when a group (all SIP peers) Page is called. Not always but sometimes when the Page is executed, the IP 601 will become unreachable from Asterisk. So when the

I have a need to have the two sip phones register with the same extension (at least I think I have the need :) A client wants an incoming call to ring at the receptionists desk and also at their desk. If the receptionist is in it will be answered there and put on hold followed by a "Joe, you have a call on line 1". Is there a way to do this w/ asterisk? I've played with two

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.

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

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
