I ring multiple phones ALL THE TIME without needing duplicate
username/secrets. The following line wrapped, but you can still see
what's happening. When someone dials extension 3400 the devices with
SIP the three SIP usernames (we set them to MAC-[a|b|c|d] where the
letter indicates which line on the phone.) We set each line on each
phone to a seperate name.
exten =>
3400,1,Dial(SIP/0004f201862c-b&SIP/0004f201fb0e-b&SIP/0004f201e6a3-b,30)
Regardless of what has (or has not) been implemented in asterisk, there
is a very valid business reason for wanting an extension number to ring
on multiple phones and to determine the status of an extension from
multiple phones. Business have needed (and implemented) that for years.
Having such an implementation in asterisk would definitely be a major
plus (regardless of what our definitions of a pbx and keysystem happen
to be).
Many people seem to want this feature. I think they are just
confused. I've never actually heard of a good reason to let multiple
devices register with the same username/secret. Most of the time they
want a call to ring on multiple devices and they are trying to make
a device == extension, which is not correct. A device is a device and
an extension is an extension and they are not the same thing and there
is no 1-to-1 mapping between them.
