Hi,

The only reason for phones is thats what I've got lying around. My broadcast desks are analogue for the most part so you can't do anything fancy with them.

I suppose I could get a 1U rack mount and wire it in that way but then they are an order of magnitude more expensive than just a phone. Plus I can disconnect the ringer and leave it in the studio for on air or general purpose.

We do have an older Trixbox based Asterisk server that handles on air and the main office. Theres no reason why I can't work directly on that, I'm just using a VM and some IAX trunks for the moment.

Regards,

Wayne

A limitation of the Asterisk Manager interface is its not really
suitable for lots of clients. You can use Asterisk Proxy programs but
it was a bit complicated for me so I wrote a Server component that
interfaces with the Manager Interface. It then uses XMPP to send
simple control messages for call incoming, transferring, answering etc.

Whoa yeah.  :-)

If you press AMI too hard, Asterisk puts a gun to its head.

Spent 3 years working with VICIdial, which was, at heart, a response
to that exact problem.

All I'm doing is using a £50 Cisco IP Phone in the studio (so far Cisco
and Grandstream are the only ones I've tested with the Auto Answer
header, I've tried various software phones but none of them work with Auto Answer). I'm then wiring the headset socket into the studio desk.

Any reason you went to a phone, instead of just going directly to an
audio interface on the switch?  Is it your general PBX as well?

Cheers,
