RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?

[Joe Antkowiak]

Got so many people asking for it, here’s what I used for the intercom announce:   http://www.jsci.net/asterisk/intercom-tone.gsm   It’s not great, but it does the job.  Actually trying to find something better…   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Antkowiak Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?   This is what we have for this customer.  They have five phones right now.  Their normal extensions are 610x, but for intercom its 510x:   exten => 5101,1,Dial(SIP/5101,10,tA(intercom-tone)) exten => 5101,2,Congestion   If you want the wav file, let me know.  If you make your own, be sure to put a 1-2 second pause in the beginning, because when the cisco answers it takes a second or to before it will send any audio to the speaker.   -----Original Message----- From: mitchel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?   Hey Joe,   Could I get a sample config for playing some intro tones on the intercom? I have the same thing but nobody is using it now because they are afraid of having someone call in and "listen in" so we need some way to announce the incoming intercom call.   Thanks, Mitchel Joe Antkowiak <> wrote: I am currently using 7960's with *, and line 6 is set to auto answer. Works great, customer is happy. As far as an intro-tone, you can set the dial command to play a sound (using the announce option) before the call is connected. I grabbed a simple tone wav file, and made it play that. Now, when the intercom ext is called, it plays the tone on the destination phone, and wa-la, intercom So it works. Let me know if you need sample configs. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philipp von Klitzing Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 12:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?

Is this still the case? Dunno about Cisco, but wanted to let you know that the recent Grandstream firmware (.55 and later) now also has an auto-answer option. Still I guess I should mention that the microphone of the GS phones in speakerphone mode is far from a brilliant implementation (-> echo for the remote speaker talker, and too thin sound from the person in the room).
