The snom phones (and I assume others) allow you to have multiple SIP accounts on a single phone. The user logs in to the phone which logs in *. The downside is that you can only log in to accounts set up on the phone rather than any account set up on * but is useful for shared desks etc..

Hi, Has anyone worked out a way to use Asterisk in a Hot Desk environment?? I have not been able to think of a way for the user to have control over which IP phone will ring when that users extension is dialed without the user needing to reconfigure the phone.. Something like this would be cool.. User dials *8555 (or similar) and is prompted to enter their extension and then password, after successfully validating the user is then prompted for phone number (being some IP phone ID number or an external Mobile or Home phone number).. All calls made to that users DID number or extension are now routed to the registered destination device.. Any calls the user makes from any IP Phones carry the correct caller ID information as well.. Anyone got something like this or any form of user manageable extension control or hot desk type solution working?? Or any suggestions how it could be archived?? Later.. -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
