ats 6011s and asterisk
Has anyone gotten an ATS 6011s wifi phone to work with Asterisk? Are these phones locked?

Disable DND on Polycom
Does anyone know how to disable the Do Not Disturb button/function on a Polycom SIP phone. We have far too many staff members that are putting their phone on DND and forgetting to take it off. I want to remove the ability for them to put it on DND
Configuring an inexpensive answering machine
Hi. I'm looking for advice on how to configure an inexpensive answering machine. I would like a turnkey answering machine that can deliver a long greeting (up to 20 minutes), capture messages for play back, and handle unexpected power outages. Remote greeting configuration and message play back is required. Extensions are not needed. The system will monitor one analog phone line. The ideal answering machine is inexpensive, low maintenance and unlikely to make outbound calls (i.e. no dial-out.) What's the best way to proceed? Best Regards, Brent
fiddled with mailing list settings; enabled digest mode
Hopefully i didn't break anything enabling digest mode ;-)

I'm going to use the above manual for examples in the below: First, identify the DND key's number, depending on the model of the phone (pages 30 - 32). For example. DND on the SoundPoint 301 is key number 23. Open your sip.cfg. Search for the word keys (the is important). On a default sip.cfg, you should find: keys key.scrolling.timeout=1/ Review pages 132 - 133 to decide how you want to change the DND button. A good choice for the 301 would be to change to a Message Retrieve button. Insert your choice within the keys command and save, eg. keys key.scrolling.timeout=1 key.IP_300.23.function.prim=Messages/ Once that is done, reboot your Polycom phones manually, or use sip notify polycom-check-cfg SIP NAME from the Asterisk console. Make sure that you change the button top on the phone ;-) Mark.

RE: [on-asterisk] Disable DND on Polycom
You cannot disable the DND feature, but I believe there is a way to disable the DND button. Look into the keys configuration parameter. -Original Message- From: Bill Sandiford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 6, 2007 10:25 AM To: asterisk@uc.org Subject: [on-asterisk] Disable DND on Polycom Does anyone know how to disable the Do Not Disturb button/function on a Polycom SIP phone.

Toll Free
Hello, I have a question more about telephony and long distance. A bit off topic, I know, but I hope someone will help me with it. When someone acquires a toll free number, they pay usually some long distance carrier to provide it. However, I would assume that the call from one end to another travels through several carriers, and the one that was hired by the customer will split the cost with others, right ? And also, calls coming from different geographical places may take different routes, through different carriers ? My customer's problem that they have a toll free number for faxing, coming into one of his land lines. Most of the calls coming in are OK, but for a few of his customers, the quality of the calls is too poor to be used for faxing. However the same customers seem to be able to fax him just fine if they don't use the toll free number. One of my thoughts was that his toll-free carrier may use VoIP for some segments of the network, and VoIP is known to have issues with faxing. Thanks, Liviu
Call forward not available - very expensive
Hi, I had a bit of a outage last night as there was a short imterruption from Rogers. During this outage, my asterisk server can not connect to my provider (Unlimitel) and callers were getting busy signal. I just found out that adding call forward busy would cost me $5/month wheras Bell used to just charge me $1.3/month. Not sure if I really agree on the high charge for such feature only used once in a while, but I wonder if anyone has an alternative for such situation. Thanks, Richard
Re: [on-asterisk] Configuring an inexpensive answering machine
Brent, I guess this hinges on what you mean by inexpensive, and how you want it to handle power outages. If you're willing to spend a couple hundred bucks, then one of several Asterisk configurations would work. You could buy a cheap PC for $50, an FXO card for $30, a UPS for $70 and you with a bit of work, you're in business. That would only give you a short amount (maybe 10 minutes) of runtime in a power outage. You could get a WRT54GL, load Asterisk on it, and hook it up to an ATA and that would use much less power. You might do that for close to $200. There are tonnes of other configs that can work. As for non-asterisk solutions, you're looking at pretty basic features, other than the long message length. Still, I'm sure if you looked hard enough you'd be able to find a consumer grade, solid state answering machine to do what you want. Good luck.

Re: [on-asterisk] Call forward not available - very expensive
I don't think this is unreasonable, Unlimitel has to C/F on busy to a PSTN number which may be long distance and could last any number of un-billable minutes plus extra provisioning of circuits has to be made and so on. If you or your client need the extra insurance then $5 per month is worth it .
