[asterisk-users] Multiple users and a single extension

2007-01-05 Thread Phil Finkler
Hi all, Quick question. Is there a way to have multiple people have an extension, say 900, to their polycom 501 SIP phones on one of the blue buttons to where when a call comes in, I can have it simul-ring and folks can pick up the line on their phone? I'd like to set up a tech support extens

2006-12-28 Thread Phil Finkler
Hi all, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but is there a way to check your voicemail by calling your extension from the outside? When I call my own extension from outside and hit pound or star, it just stops my greeting and gives me the "beep". I'd like to call my extension and press a key

I used _XX. Since it was used in the examples I got from voicepulse. Maybe I can modify it so it's standardized by using 's'. Any idea why they'd use something like that for incoming calls? Are you sure 600 would match _XX.? I thought _XX. Was just two digits. Thanks for t

Hi all, I'm trying to incorporate using the i extension in my callplan to determine if someone enters an invalid extension. My internal extensions are all 3 digits (100-104). The problem is, the callplan doesn't see that say, extension 600 is invalid, it just goes back to the beginning of the

I've gotten this Polycom 501 pretty much licked, but I need to know if there's a way in a dialplan to say if someone dials their own extension it goes straight to voicemail and asks them for their password. I thought I saw an example of this on the web but I can't seem to find it. Any advice appre

Hi all, Can someone point me in the right direction here. What I'd like to do with Asterisk is a) dial a 3 digit extention (i.e. 100) on my polycom phones and after the 3rd digit is entered, it dials that extension and b) dial 9 to get out like older PBX systems. Since my internal extensions

I installed the asterisk-addons from source and installed them. It looks like it copied format_mp3.so but I'm not sure if 1.2.14 addons are compatible with asterisk 1.2.10. Also I unpacked the asterisk source for the 3 MOH .mp3's and copied them to the appropriate location. Still MOH is not work
