Hi, I understand SendText() sends text on the current channel. Is there a way to manipulate this feature to SendText toward another SIP device? I use Polycom IP600's. Local sendtext works fine. Would be nice to drop an instant message on another user's phone. thanks! Mark

Asterisk 1.2.13 - Evolution PBX from Intuitive Voice Technologies We have an installation of 35 SIP phones (Polycom 501) and one receptionist phone (Polycom 601). I have 15 of the 501s set up to accept a "Page". From what I understand, the "Page" is done using the asterisk page application that throws the extensions into a conference room and then set the originating caller

I have a Polycom IP600 serving as a receptionist phone. We developed a call manager via c/gtk that runs on a touchpad. It allows them to transfer calls, transfer to voicemail, page, etc. The problem is this: When paging another phone from the touchpad, I have to open a channel to the receptionist phone. This rings the receptionist phone. When she picks up, it then pages the desired person. This is

Hi, we've proof of conecpt system for speech recognition on Asterisk. We would like to send results of recognition back to user in standard way. Currently we're considering using sendtext command and it works with Firefly. But I'm curious what soft or hard ip phones that can connect to Asterisk support such feature ?

Hello, I'm using Asterisk 1.6.2.0 and I like to use escape characters with SendText, because I can just delete the message from my phone (Thomson Speedtouch ST2030) display by sending a return-char (\n). But \n is not escaped: I tried already: exten => 222, n, SendText(\n) exten => 222, n, SendText("\n") exten => 222, n, SendText('\n') exten => 222, n,

All, I am intersted in having 2 extensions for the same sip phone...

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 happen to have a WIP-5000 phone. I can send text messages to the phone no problem. The phone also has a feature "Write Msg". I use it and enter a valid extension for a WIP-5000 phone (so It will receive the text message) and enter some small message and hit send... I get a "405 Method not allowed error". Is there something I dont have setup to be able to send text from a

So how might a person support a "Write Msg" on a SIP phone? THe phone receives it - and I want to also be able to send it... Thanks, Jerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't think this will work using the asterisk extension, since as far as I know asterisk only allows to send messages to sip phones using the sendtext application, which

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 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'm using a SIP phone (Thomson ST2030) which is able to display text received though Asterisk's SendText() application. I'm using this to display from Asterisk "Forwarded to 0123456789" whenever a user forwards his calls to another number or extension. Test is displayed with white letters on black background. What I can't do at the moment is erasing this

Hi, I'm having trouble configuring Asterisk to respond to an incoming out of call SIP MESSAGE. The transport protocol is TLS and the Asterisk version is 10 (it's old, but I'm kind of stuck with it at the moment). Currently I have roughly the following configuration and handling: sip.conf: [general] accet_outofcall_messages=yes outofcall_message_context=sip-im and extensions.conf

Hello- I have a low traffic AAH setup, a few hardphones, a few softphones, 50 calls per day max. I used the AMP Digital Receptionist to make a simple voice menu: "Thank you for calling xxxx". I did this for both Normal times and After Hours times. It worked fine. I then went to the AMP Maintenance window, Config Edit, got the "phpconfig for Asterisk PBX" page, and selected

Someone posted a message suggesting someone try sendtext() and so I thought I'd see if it was useful. Much searching through help at the CLI has failed to find any help for sendtext, but I did find that: "core show function vmcount" fails but: "core show function VMCOUNT" works. Is that a bug and if so, has it been reported? Ira

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

Hi * users, I am only seeing SendText in the available asterisk applications. But I have not seen Receive Text application. I tried on asterisk-1.0.7 and 1.0.9. Can anyone tell me how to use this receive text command.

I have a customer who wants their receptionist to input the users' long distance PINs for the because they use each others pins. I am having trouble coming up with a way to do this because of creating a channel between the user and receptionist, dropping the channel and its variables and creating a new one for the actual long distance call. Any advice is really needed. 1. User Dials Long

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
