Thanks,
That is the direction that I'm leaning.
I just have to figure out the best way to abrevite the "prefix" that I add to the caller id. In a perfect world, I would find a way to insert a carriage return so that I could have my "code" at the top line, and the actual ID underneath it. Unfortunately, I don't think that this is possible.

I have working with a polycom IP500 phone.
I like the idea of having each line button on the phone as a separate sip device. If I understand it right, each phone could have three extensions (one for each line.) This would be great since I could then use the dialplan to forward calls to the desired extension.
I envision something like this: Extenson 101 - Company-A Extension 102 - Company B
I've adjusted my dialplan to prepend a "hint" to the callerid so that I know which menu choice the caller picked: exten => 1,2,SetCIDName(A-Sales: ${CALLERIDNAME}) exten => 1,3,Macro(stdexten,101,SIP/ext101) exten => 2,2,SetCIDName(A-Sup: ${CALLERIDNAME}) exten => 3,3,Macro(stdexten,101,SIP/ext101)
Now if I could get multiple extensions on one phone (one for each button.) I would be all set.
Thanks!!
The way you describe what you want, there is no need for multiple buttons on your phones, just callerid is good enought since it gives the best visual for the users. In fact long before callerid was available to the comsumer markets, companies used this when ppl called different DIDs or groups from menus. All you would do would be to change the caller id and then have the call go thru the regular dialplan of ringing your extensions. You only need the new extensions if you want a different voicemail (which can also be accomplished in other ways, but some times this is the easiest). _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
