Just a note: If it's any consolation, the Nortel BCM has a similar problem. It sets up a conference, adding one member at a time. On my clients system, we would often observe that the page was nearly over by the time some phone were added to the conference.
IE Given a page of "Dave, please call reception, your wife is on the phone.", some phones would only hear "on the phone" while others would hear the whole page, and others would hear something in between. It was funniest to be in a room which contained several phones. It was like a THX demo or something where something sneaks up from behind you. This is just to say that even the big guys struggle with things like this. That we're able to find solutions on our own without waiting for a patch from the vendor, is a credit to Asterisk and to the community. Dave On 11/1/06, Tony Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It has taken me quite some time to get all the Polycoms in my place to be configured for paging. The Page() command in asterisk uses the Meetme functionality coupled with auto answer on the polycom phones to implement paging. My problem is that with a number of phones (I have about 8 currently), the Page command seems to sequentially (and rather slowly) ring each phone. All works great, however, if the person paging hangs up before all of the phones are called, a number of the phones are left connected to the meetme conference. Does anyone have any experience in setting up paging? I have had to write a agi extension that checks to see which devices are in use and to exclude them from the paging list.
