Hi Simon,
Thanks for your response!
It appears that "Bellcore-drx", where x={1-5}, is predefined somewhere...
but where? Is the value of "Bellcore-drx" an integer? or a data structure of
some sort?
I cannot see how one would dial/ring simultaneously disparate phones with
one SIPADDHEADER and one DIAL command. For example:
exten => 1,2,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: info=<Bellcore-dr2>)
exten => 1,3,Dial(SIP/3000&Sip/3001&SIP/3002,30,mAPt)
exten => 1,4,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
will ring three extensions/phones, but with the single SIPADDHEADER line
preceding the Dial line, only one of the phones will have the correct
Bellcore-drx value in place.
One would have to have one SIPADDHEADER line for each extension/phone to
be dialed, correct? In which case the phones will not ring simultaneously.
Perhaps, to clarify, we want all phones to ring simultaneously, a
particular distinctive ring for each callee, so that no matter which phone he
is near he can recognize his own distinctive ring and answer the call on the
nearest phoneset. If all phones were of the same type, using the same
Bellcore-drx definition it would be easy. But with a mix of different
brands/models, each requiring a different Bellcore-drx to invoke the desired
distinctive ring, It appears impossible to set them up to ring simultaneiously
with the same distinctive ring regardless of the phoneset brand/model.
If this ispossible, how? What am I missing?
Thanks again,
