No. The 7914 doesn't work with SIP, either. 2) Can I use 1 button press on that 7960 to transfer the call to that free line ? Not to the best of my knowledge. 3) Besides the physical differences, are there functional differences between 7960, 7940, 7912, 7905 ? (ea, are there functions (like hold, transfer, ... that are missing on a certain model ?) or are the firmware images of alle equipments the same ? There are two families, 7960/7940 and 7905/7912. I've heard that the 7912 UI is slightly better, but I haven't seen it. I'm happy with my 7940. 4) Can Asterisk (or own extensions/scripts) drive the dis- play on the 7960, 7940, 7912, 7905 ? (for example: incomming call from XXX => we do db lookup => when found, we show their Maintenance status on the Cisco display of the phone that answers the call) You have room for around 20 characters of caller ID status. That's about the only thing you can display on the Cisco. 5) I understood that the 7920 (Wireless) does not support SIP. Does this limit this equipment very much ? (no call transfers, or on-screen info, or ... ???) Or has anyone heard of a newer model that will support SIP ? The 7920, 7970, and 7935 are SCCP-only. They'll probably work with one of the SCCP drivers for Asterisk, but I haven't tried. 6) Can we make following scenario work with Asterisk ? Incomming call => secretary she answers and looks on her 7960 + 7914 who's free she transfers to X during transfer, a db lookup is made (or own Postgresql) to find a matching original tel number. As a parameter, X is passed, so via IPC we can do a pop-up on his PC (when on) with info of the caller. X receives the call on his 7912 / 7905. On his Cisco display some extra info is showed to tell him that info was found and he should look to his PC. Mostly. I'm not sure if the 7914 works right with Asterisk and SCCP, but the SIP firmware on the Cisco phones won't even recognize it. There are a few alternatives--look at the flash operator UI (search the wiki for a URL). The transfer/DB lookup/IPC bit is just a simple matter of programming. The phone pop-up is limited to one line of caller ID information.

You can see who is busy or idle or not registered, you can transfer via drag and drop, you can popup a webpage with the callerid passed to your web application (in our office, we open a webpage with customer information and details before we pick up the phone). You can modify the callerid text before transferring to pass information, and many features more.. Its not exactly what you want, but similar. It needs a PC, you cannot do it just with phones. http://www.asternic.org Best regards, -- Nicolás Gudiño Buenos Aires - Argentina ___ 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
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79xx + asterisk + some functions Q
It seems that's it not that trivial to replace a common (commercial) PBX and to have instandly all these functions. Anybody experience with Cisco's CallManager and the support of the asked functions ? > http://www.asternic.org This is very nice and will help a lot, that's for certain. thank you already for this much appriciated help alex -- visit us at Infosecurity NL - Stand 08.B121 13-14 october 2004 Jaarbeurs - Utrecht Netherlands Free Registration, click here: www.axsguard.com aXs GUARD has completed security and anti-virus checks on this e-mail (http://www.axsguard.com) ___ 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
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79xx + asterisk + some functions Q
Just some more information regarding the 7914 addon for the 7960 phone. The 7914 requires upgraded firmware to be able to work with a 7960 of firmware 5.x or above. Do not upgrade the firmware of your 7960 above 5.x until you have done your 7914 first as you cannot downgrade the Cisco to a pre 5.X version in order to flash the 7914. I was experimenting with chan_sccp2 as it is claimed to have 7914 support. I got the 7960 working ok with chan_sccp2 but was unable to get the 7914 going and could find no information on getting it working aside from references to it and a screenshot on the sourceforge site. I also found the chan_sccp2 module to be reliable but not robust. For example pressing a speeddial button whilst on a call would bring down *, taking the handset offhook and leaving it offhook would also bring down *. In the end I have gone with the SIP image and am using the Flash Operators Panel which IMHO offers better functionality anyway. It is also cheaper to buy a 15" LCD panel and secondary display adapter, mounting the panel next to the users workstation than it is to buy the 7914 (Which for us cost more than the 7960 itself!) The Flash Operators Panel also has the ability to 'monitor' an extension and then launch a URL when a call comes in.
