Anthony:

I am trying to get either of the above features to work with *, but can't seem to get it quite right. If anyone has them working, I'd sure appreciate an extract from the relevant config files.

Or, maybe I'm tilting at windmills, and * doesn't support them - in which case, the underlying business need is to provide the one incoming call on more than one extension at the same time, and have all other extensions stop ringing when one of them answers the call.


Asterisk does that by specifying multiple SIP extensions in a single DIAL command:

exten => 102,1,Dial(SIP/netvoice-102&SIP/netvoice-103&SIP/netvoice-105,20)


The other scenario is typical boss/secretary stuff - we need an incoming call to ring on both extensions at once as above, plus the ability to indicate to the secretary when the boss is on the phone.


This is known as SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY in SIP parlance (see the comments in http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+standard+extensions) and uses the "hint" priority in extensions.conf along with specific support in the SIP phone. SNOM phones have it -- Grandstream has promised it in a future firmware U/G to the GXP-2000, and its anyone's guess if the Sayson/Aastra 480i will ever get it. Have no idea about the Polycom.

Does anyone have anything like this working?


In short, yes.
