I have had success with 5, but if you have 6 you can have a
hard time transferring with no lines left, unless you use
features.
The correct usage is more like 11 though, since you can use
call waiting...
Must you use cisco? I like both cisco and polycom,
but I beleive both polycom & snom have good functions for determining busy
status. Cisco seems in my opinion more of a user phone (I mean, no
seperate hard hold button), where the polycom has a nicer interface with
transfers...
Given you are using digium cards, you would not neccesarily
be dedicating lines to keys, though you could, really a normal pbx is better for
handling this. For example, I usa a Panasonic dbs at one of my offices,
because the multi-line abilities work well with the people I have there.
If they had to learn how to transfer a call, forget it. Plus, you can get
a 20 extension panasonic for about the same price as a 8 extension cisco
setup. Then I tied the asterisk into the trunks and analog extensions, so
I get a more seamless approach.
For 8 lines, why would you need this anyhow? Are you
planning remote agents and such? Because you could probably do it for
less cost than 20 7960's.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manjit Riat Hi, We are looking towards
a 8+ CO line setup (20 extensions) in our office but we do not want an
IVR(auto-attendant) feature. All incoming will be answered by a receptionist. I
have read the multi-line configuration for cisco 7960 thread in this list but
that way I believe we could only display 6 incoming lines. What will happen to
the rest? Does the expansion module for the cisco 7960 work with asterisk? Any
other phones with more lines displayed for the receptionist. Or another solution
to tackle this? Thanx |
