Flash Operator Panel would do it. Also the Aastra 55i phones with the expansion module, which has 36 lines on it should work, but you will need to cofigure your Asterisk for Shared Line Appearances (also called Bridged Line Appearance) for the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) to work. The Aastra 55i would show you if they are talking or not.

All, In the design of an Asterisk system using Cisco 7900 series SIP phones we are struggling with giving the reception folks (3) hardware that can tell them the status of everyone in the office (10 or so) (On the phone, out of office etc) Something that would register each of the extensions we choose and give status of that ext. What hardware (Phone or other) could we give the receptionist to do this? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Jones Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 4:53 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Learn some terminalogy before mounting thistask.
