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'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

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

Hi List, I have a Polycom 601 that when the user is on the phone they only hear one beep and the CID of the second incoming call is not shown. Is there a way to have the CID show up for the second call ? And a way to configure the phone to beep more often if there is another call coming in. The problem is that if the receptionist is on the phone and looking up something on the PC she some times

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

I was reading a Polycom brochure and it appears that there is really no special receptionist console and the console is basically a IP601. Is this correct? The only difference is to purchase an expansion module in order to have more shortcut keys for the girls. So, apart from the hardware, as far as the dialplan is concerned, do I just treat the receptionist console as any other extension? Are

I need to provide a 80 people office with VOIP. I want to commit to one vendor Polycom or Aastra. Price of the phones is not a factor in the decision. The quality of the phones is the factor. Some of the features that I am evaluating on are: (arranged in order of priority) 1. Sound quality 2. complete product line with conference phone and receptionist phone (not on Aastra) 3. cordless (not on

We are running 2.1.1 with 3 expansion modules. Presence in turned on in sip.cfg, hints are set up on the extensions and buddy watch is enabled on about 40 extensions mapped to the expansion modules. We have 3 paging groups: "Building A" with 20 phones, "Building B" with 20 phones and "Both with all 40 phones. When Building A or B is paged separately, the 601 handles it

Hey all... Scenario (INTERNAL) 1 Call comes in to receptionist and gets transferred to someone 2 No one picks up that transfer 3 Call goes back to receptionist Now when the call goes back to the receptionist, how can I change either the ringer, the callerID or both? * TIA

I have a Polycom 601 with 3 expansion modules running 2.0.3. We have Buddywatch set up on around 42 users on the expansion modules. We are experiencing reboots on the 601. Today it happened twice after users paged through the phones. The page groups have about 23 phones each. There is a third page group comprising all 46 phones. I'm thinking it may be an issue with changing buddywatch

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,

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, all. I want to have a button on my receptionist's 601 that, when pressed, will forward her current call to a given extension. Is there any way to do that? I've tried to RTFM, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks, -Ken D'Ambrosio

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

hi there I'm setting up asterisk@home and I'm using Polycom IP 500 phones. When I call a number that has a digital receptionist (i.e. "dial 1 or such and such, dial 2 for this and that...") the Polycom doesn't seem to send the extra digits. When I try it with X-Lite things appear to work fine, so I think the problem is with the Polycom configuration. Here's some

I've got a problem that keeps popping up with my reception phone. It is a IP 650 and the receptionist - on three occassions - has accidentally hit the "Forward" softkey just before she enters the "Page All" keystrokes and then all future calls get routed as an overhead page. I will admit, the first time it happened, I was totally stumped. Why the heck did I have

Hello, We are planning to replace our current PBX with an Asterisk / SIP solution, and are now trying to decide which phones to get. My first thought was the Cisco 7960G, but the Cisco licensing scheme irritates me enough that I'll probably end up going with either the Polycom IP-600 or Snom 360. If anyone has any opinions of these phones, especially in comparison to each other, I would

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... All works fine... But lights not work.... So... I don't know when any person or extension is busy... Any ideas? , Olger On 3/27/06 11:34 PM, "asterisk-users-request@lists.digium.com"

Hi all, I am working on building a new VoIP PBX. Looking at the current market for phones it seems my best "enterprise" options are the Cisco and Polycom phones. I have some experiance with the Cisco 7940G, but the process of flashing the phone with the SIP firmware left a bad taste in my mouth (not to mention the added expense for the phone). What is the general consensis about
