[Asterisk-Users] BGM Music
Is there any way to play background music on a sip phone while the phone is not in use like many legacy pbx's offer? Could you take 7960 and use the 6th line in a similar fashion to the all setup maybe?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] BGM Music
Thinking about it further you could set the 6th line to autoanswer and have the pbx call you and play MOH when none of your lines on the asterisk box are in use.

Sure, create an extension that has on-hold music and dial it on the speaker phone using the second line.

Interesting. Would that call take a lot of * resources? Being up all the time...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] BGM Music
You make a good point. However in a corp environment where there are many users, one distraction is users playing music on there pc's. So the in this case corp has decided that one music can be provided via the phone. If the user wants something to listen to, that is available. Otherwise there is no music. So corp has also decided sound on pc's shall be disabled. Anyway, I just wanted to hear what the options were.

Some people like features and this is a feature that many systems have. I have had users ask for this specifically when installing other systems such as the NEC IPK and that system has this feature as well. - Original Message - From: Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] BGM Music You make a good point.

Asterisk is the new, the now, the hip... shed the old and bring on the new. editorial However, there are very few real green fields out there, and people have expectations. It really doesn't matter to the average employee using a telephone that you can do all these new and neat things. What matters is that they knew how to use the phone efficiently yesterday, and today with their 'new-fangled' phone system nothing works like it did. Many organizations who do business centered around the phone (sales, customer support, etc.), create procedures and policies around the way the phone works. So in that case, you either make asterisk work like the previous PBX system, or asterisk doesn't get installed. Such is real life. I was flying home from Sydney to San Fran a while back and I was sitting next to an vehicle engineer for one of the major US manufacturers. He worked in Australia and was telling me how widely CVT transmissions were in use in AU. He told me of all the huge benefits over manual or automatic geared systems, and I asked him why we didn't have CVT transmissions in the US. He said, because having the engine running at one specific RPM even while accelerating or decelerating disorientated drivers used to engine sounds correlated with acceleration/deceleration. I read an article just in the last few days comparing three new convertibles (mercedes, audi, and saab), and they really loved the audi, but one of the negatives they gave it was that it had a CVT and many drivers found that disturbing So from a commercial point of view, people who are working to install asterisk in place of legacy pbx or keysystems will always run into certain expectations, and so you will continue to see the messages on this list asking how to make asterisk do things like model XYZ PBX/key system does. /editorial Asterisk is about new and exciting ways of doing things and not some BACKWARDS old legacy PBX way of doing thing. * will let you be creative in ways PBX's in the past only dream they could.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] BGM Music
Call parking is kludgy when compared to the cool instant feedback provided by a Cisco Callmanager solution. This was the one thing I was talking about .. We did app_valetparking to act like cisco CCM in a way. I love it... I hate the current call parking its the most hacked together thing in asterisk IMHO, thats why I refuse to use it and use app_valetparking in its place. bkw ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
