If you need to avoid using a mouse, you can use the Polycom attendant console instead: http://www.polycom.com/usa/en/products/voice/desktop/soundpoint_ip/sound point_ip_attendant_console.html -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anonymous Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 08:55 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] PBX Console Originally posted by: mailto: Hi, I've been looking into the one bad thing about * which is there's no practical solution to running a console. You know the kind where you have rows of buttons each representing an extension. You press the button of the extension you want to transfer the call to, and it's done. There's the beginnig of GUI version but it's going to eat resources for running X which can become less than desirable, besides it's not very competitive having to use a mouse to handle calls. Too slow. So my idea is to have a text window. We can run at a higher res than 25x80 and squeeze a fair number of extensions onto it. The idea is to either use the extension number to access an extension or for less than 100 station system, use a two digit number for each person. This way there's minimum typing for the operator. This have enough space to easily display busy, hold, vmail etc. as the status of each extension. This way with a flatscreen monitor, or dual for bigger systems we can even run the console away from the server and use minimum bandwidth. The other status screen would be a voice mail screen where you can A) see the status of voicemail. Lines in use etc. B) change the name and features associated with voice mail. -- Steve Szmidt HTML in e-mail is not safe.
