[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Hot Desks??
Hi, Has anyone worked out a way to use Asterisk in a Hot Desk environment?? I have not been able to think of a way for the user to have control over which IP phone will ring when that users extension is dialed without the user needing to reconfigure the phone.. Something like this would be cool.. User dials *8555 (or similar) and is prompted to enter their extension and then password, after successfully validating the user is then prompted for phone number (being some IP phone ID number or an external Mobile or Home phone number).. All calls made to that users DID number or extension are now routed to the registered destination device.. Any calls the user makes from any IP Phones carry the correct caller ID information as well.. Anyone got something like this or any form of user manageable extension control or hot desk type solution working?? Or any suggestions how it could be archived??

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Hot Desks??
Actually its easier than you think... Allocate a control extension for each hot desk user. implement call forward and cancel call forward... I did this with a ifo storage in the astdb so it holds during a restart... your dial plan must be macro'd for this to work properly... have a look at junghans site (I will get around to publishing my complete solution when I finally sort all the functions out On Wed, 02 Jul 2003 10:21:47 +, WipeOut . wrote: Hi, Has anyone worked out a way to use Asterisk in a Hot Desk environment??

How about the logon wizard of the snom 100? I think that does something simlar to what you want. It's designed to allow different people to login to a single phone. - Original Message - From: WipeOut .

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Hot Desks??
The snom phones (and I assume others) allow you to have multiple SIP accounts on a single phone. The user logs in to the phone which logs in *. The downside is that you can only log in to accounts set up on the phone rather than any account set up on * but is useful for shared desks etc.. W - Original Message - From: WipeOut .

The problem with this solution is that you are moving the logic to the phone which can very quickly become an admin headache.. the more the config and admin can be central and server based the better..
