The reality is, of course, that telephone systems have provided this
function for many years. A DSS/BLF is available on MANY so called legacy
systems, so until this function is readily available , customers that
require a receptionist will continue to go elsewhere.
Perhaps it is time to rethink the way data is exchanged between the CPU
and the DSS/BLF?

Well the problem with the sidecar is simple. Just try to light all
lights three times within one second. If you have 50 keys there is
already hell breaking loose. If you cascade side cars and say have 100
LED, this is a real Xmas tree. The CPU drowns in XML notifications. We
already had trouble, and we don't want to double it at this time. Good
work, IETF.
BTW this is not only a problem if the phone. If the PBX has to supply 50
phones with 50 LED and e.g. they are going off hook at the same time, we
are talking about a burst of 50 * 50 = 2500 messages which will have
some impact of the PBX CPU as well.
We need to do something about this first before we can start having 100
or 150 LED on a device.
Christian - yes I am from snom.

So how did the Polycom with sidecars work? I like the idea
of a dedicated FOP display but not sure why you would need it
if you have a Polycom with sidecars.

We installed a snom with 3 sidecars. Kinda worked, but had so many
quirks they had us replace with a Polycom. All their other
phones were
of the poly variety. We installed a dedicated lcd running FOP for
display. Receptionist was much happier.
One of the key problems was she like to set the handset on
her desk.
But then the snom would not ring.

The 360 has an expansion unit. It adds 42 extensions.

Hmm, which phone from Snom are you using for this? I've
looked around
their website and I can only find 3 VoIP phones, the
300, 320 and
360.
The 360 by the looks of it only has 12 buttons you can assign to
different extensions; am I missing something or is that
the phone and
you just do 12 per phone?

Yes - set up about 10 of them at a business last year.
Monitoring is fine - picking up calls is a bit iffy at
the best of
times.
(that is, picking up a ringing call by pushing the
extension button.
*8 works fine)
