For paging, and I have not done this yet, you would probably have to invite all the phones to a conference with the auto-answer

 

The below works great for intercom though ….

 

Polycom which I have used…

 

exten => _*7XXX,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=Ring Answer)

exten => _*7XXX,2,Dial….blah

For intercom, do you mean placing a call that is automatically answered by the called party?

 

If so, the following works for legacy phones connected via a Citel Handset Gateway, amongst others:

 

exten => _*803X.,1,Macro(user-callerid)
exten => _*803X.,2,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=info=alert-autoanswer)

exten => _*803X.,3,SIPAddHeader(Answer-Mode: Auto)
exten => _*803X.,4,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:4})

(so you dial *803 and then the extension number you want to target)

 

Similar techniques can be used for page.

I have a company that I am going to be moving away from a legacy PBX to Asterisk. They use page zones pretty heavy and I would like to keep that functionality. Basically when someone is not at their desk the receptionist pages all of the phones, telling them there is a call. Does anyone out there know of the best phones to do this with and if it is really even possible. I see that intercom is not supported and paging appears to be minimally supported.

 

Thanks

 

Curt
