Here are two brain teasers for the group. (Well one brain teaser and maybe I'm just daft on the other one).
1. Directed call pickup on Aastra 9133i/480i 2. BLF's from a remote switch Q1 details: Asterisk 1.2 (SVN-branch-1.2-r3892), 9133i Firmware Version 1.4.2.1081, BLF's working just fine. Extensions.conf has a functioning *88 macro for call pickup. Aastra.cfg has: directed call pickup: "1" directed call pickup prefix: "*88" Aastra phone doesn't seem to recognize ringing state of phone attached to a BLF and prepend the prescribed prefix. If I dial *88 + ext when another phone is ringing it works just fine. However hitting the BLF key in that ringing state fails to prepend the *88 to the dial command. BLF is supporting ringing state as the light blinks when call is ringing/solid when on a call. The phone doesn't seem to recognize the ringing state and prefix the ext with *88. Notable is that I got the "directed call pickup prefix:" line from a Google search which talked about putting the prefix in a similarly named field on the phones Web UI, however the field does not exist in my Web UI even though I believe I have the latest firmware. Is the name/syntax of this line incorrect or is something that has gone MIA in the latest firmware? Q2 details: Anyone have any ideas on how to have a BLF for a set on a different switch? My business partner has an asterisk switch in his location, I have one in my location. We have integrated the dial plans, yada, yada ... Now I want a BLF on one of my DSS keys to show when he is on the phone on his switch, and vise versa. ( ... naw, take that back. I don't want him to know when I'm here J ) Thoughts/possibilities/ - dbc.
