Where can you get version 18?  I only see v. 16 on www.grandstream.com/Firmware.

[Asterisk-Users] Problems with udev on FC3

I vote for parking slot appearances, so users don't have to remember an extension number where a call is parked.  They can just press the flashing button.

Ok.  I was just wondering.  I didn't know that you could just download

This is commonly referred to as a "key system". Asterisk is not terribly 
well suited as a key system since it is a pbx. The difference is 
(leaving out all the subtleties) that a key system is based on the concept 
of pstn lines while the pbx is based on the concept of extensions. Even 
the whole pstn cloud can be thought of as extensions. 

You could possibly make something similar if you really _really_ want to 
using agi scripts and redirects through the manager port to a meetme 
conference. Before going down that road I suggest you first consider if 
your client is best served by this solution or if it is just an artifact 
of their old system.

Peter



Thanks for that answer.  That clears up a lot of questions that I had.  This isn't really a functionality problem.  It's more a problem of breaking the users of their old habits and switching them to a new platform.

[Asterisk-Users] How to emulate a multiline phone in Asterisk

2004-11-15 Thread Jim Dossey




I have a client who currently has a Toshiba PBX.  We are trying to replace it with an Asterisk system.  One of the features that they have on their current PBX is the ability to select a POTS line by pressing a button on their phones.  They have 10 POTS lines and they can select any line by just pressing the corresponding button on their phone.  They can also join an existing call by just picking up the handset and pressing the button for the call they want to join.  This isn't like a conference call because you have one outside line coming in and 2 or more people inside the office on that call.

I've looked through documentation and searched the Wiki, but I can't find a way to do that in Asterisk?  I could let them select a POTS line by setting up an extension on each of their 10 lines, and letting them dial that extension.  But can you do that when someone else is already on a call on that line?

Also, related to that question: Are there any SIP phones out there that have 10 programmable buttons that could be programmed to select one of their 10 POTS lines - so they don't have to dial the extension number or some key sequence like "*99"?

TIA

Sorry if this has been discussed before.  I'm fairly new to Asterisk.

[Asterisk-Users] Question about remote POTS lines

2004-11-15 Thread Jim Dossey




I have a client who asked me about a situation they have.  They have a main office and 3 remote offices.  We are installing an Asterisk server at the main office with SIP phones in the remotes.  Each remote office only has 1 person.  The remote offices currently have a POTS line that has a published number.  They want to keep that number.  The problem is that they would like to somehow link those remote POTS lines back to the main office, so people in the main office can answer their calls when they are away.  They could install an asterisk server in those remote offices and link them back to the main office, but that seems like overkill for a single POTS line.

Any ideas?

OR, downgrade the Budgetone to 10 meg, or, replace the linksys with a newer one.



How do you downgrade the Budgetone to 10Mb?  I don't see anything on the configuration page to do that.  Also the specs on the Budgetone say it is a 10Base-T port.

Be carefull with assuptions regarding the Linksys. There were several
different models (versions) of that hardware, and the early models
did not support 100 meg ethernet worth a darn. Some packets make
it through and a large number did not. Change the port speed on

[Asterisk-Users] External call initiation

2004-11-09 Thread Jim Dossey
I have a client who needs to be able to initiate an outgoing call from a
legacy Unix application.  They use a legacy accounting system on a Unix
system using CRT as a telnet client.  They have the ability now to have
the Unix system auto-dial their phone to place a call.  For example,
they can pull up a customer or vendor record in CRT.  The application
uses the CRT "pass-thru" option to pass a modem dial string through
their PC to a modem plugged into the PC's serial port.  The modem is
attached to their telephone so that they lift the receiver, pick an
outgoing line, and the modem dials the number.

I need to be able to do that using Asterisk and a SIP phone (or an ADSI
phone).  Any ideas?  Is this possible?

I was thinking that maybe there would be a way for the Unix box to
command the Asterisk box to connect to the SIP phone, and place the
outgoing call, and then join those 2 connections together.
