[Asterisk-Users] Station Lines

2005-06-08 Thread Sean Cook
I am not sure if this is really possible but I figured I would ask
anyway.  I have a customer who wants an asterisk system.  Currently they
have a BizFon system.

The feature that he really wants is to be able to pick up any line and
have all the stations show up on his phone.  Is this possible in
asterisk?  If so can someone point me in the right direction?

That describes a key system. Asterisk is a PBX. Trying to make Asterisk
function like a key system (while possible) is difficult, and will
result in much frustration. 

Instead, you are best off showing this person how to use a PBX properly.
It may take a little getting used to, but it's best in the long run
because you won't be supporting a goofy system.

Pick up any line: yes.  All stations showing up?  If your phone has multiple 
line appearances and you hint them properly, yes.  Alternatively you could 
use the asterisk management portal software but that runs on a PC.

I worked with the old BizFon systems...   Nasty nasty nasty.
