Rich is correct. Example: Night security guards may need to catch an
inbound calls that could ring at more than one station. Maybe one is
doing rounds and the other is at another desk off site. Sometimes call
forwarding is too slow. There are many reasons why this could be used.

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.

Hello,
I can understand why asterisk is designed to not to allow two UAs with the same usr/pwd,
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-February/037284.html, but I have to find a
solution for this.
My first option is use SER as an extension end of Asterisk, to allow more than one SIP
endpoint to register with the same details http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+at+large. I
wonder if there is another way to do this. Of course, I am talking about a SIP proxy behaviour,
simultaneous registration, both phones ringing at the same time and first to answer gets the
call.
Kind regards,
Victor.
