CCM doesn't use SIP to do this, it uses SCCP. A proprietary cisco protocol. The SIP protocol has been extended to include a subscribe and notify function, allowing a SIP UA to subscribe to a 'service' and be notified of changes in that service. You could use this to at least be able to turn led's on and off, however, you would have to build some functionality into Asterisk to support a sip barging feature based upon picking up the handset attached to the notified line. I'm not sure what the different sip phones that support subscribe/notify actually do when you hit that button when it's lit as well. Obviously you would need some kind of signal from the phone to asterisk to request being connected to that media stream. Would it be an INVITE? How would it be formatted? I'm sure all this is answered in the RFC that describes the subscribe/notify function, it's been way to long since I skimmed through it. -Chris ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[snip] The short answer is: "No, Asterisk does not support this out of the box, and even if it did, Cisco phones with SIP images do not support this out of the box." The medium answer is: "I have no idea if any of the SCCP (skinny) drivers support the 79xx phones for remote indication lamps. I gave a 7914 operator console to JerJer a while back to see if he could get that running, but no news lately. I have completely no clue on three-way (or barge-in, or shared line, or whatever you want to call it) with SCCP." The long answer is: If you're marginally handy with C and have some spare time, you might be able to do this with some of the SIP phones. The Polycom IP500 and IP600 support the SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY message transmissions for indicator lamps, which seems to almost-sort-of-maybe supported in Asterisk, but not quite. I haven't had time to experiment with those phones enough with Asterisk to see what would be required to make it fully operational, and I doubt I'll have any time to do it in the near future, but you could buy one yourself and see what you get running. Once you've figured that out and corrected *'s code for presence and indicators, it should be a short journey to create a new channel type that represents existing channels and allows a third extension to "dial" an existing call leg, a la chan_local, but different. See my discussion on the chan_multi idea here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04117.html Feel free to beat your local Cisco representative around the head and neck with a blunt instrument and describe to them how they're losing the SIP battle with their (apparent) intentional crippling of the SIP image on the 79xx series.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] one extention, multiple phones
On the Merlin Legend I believe the function you're talking about is on the MLX-20 receptionis's console. When the system is in hybrid-PBX mode, you can simply press a line button that's in-use and you can listen in on the conversation and even talk, it basically puts you in a conference with the other person without actually setting up a conference. Not sure what the equivalent of that in * is... or if there even is one... -Chris - Original Message - From: "Reid A.

I'm a little bit rusty on Meridian (it's been a few years since I've worked on them), but I don't think it can do this either. Monitoring an extension for busy status is done all the time (IIRC Nortel calls this busy lamp field), but you still can't just pick up an in-use extension and start talking.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] one extention, multiple phones
You can easily ring different phones at the same time within the dial command. For example, SIP/4024&${PRITRUNK1}/16505551212&${PRITRUNK1}/1411212 A blind transfer will move the call to the next phone. Or you can park the call.

Sure there is. You can only have one extension per call by default. Wait a minute! Good ol' Transfer works fine. You just transfer it to the extension you want. No reason you cannot have an extension for each room which all ring. The call goes to the extension which answers first. You can have conference calls too. Now every room can join in. You can have conference rooms that only allow certain rooms even. - -- Steve "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

If this is the intention, then you probably want to use call parking.

[Asterisk-Users] one extention, multiple phones
Is it possible to get a few 7960's and asterisk to allow all of the 7960 phones to use one extentsion and can only be used by one person at a time, have it indicate on the other 7960's when one of the others has the line engaged. Basicly so like I can setup a rule when an incoming call comes from IAX to divert to this extension, it will ring the extension (thus all phones), and allow me to place a call on hold on one phone and pick it up on another and the original phone would acknowledge that the call has been picked up and disengage. Can I do this without call parking? Basicly the same model as having a bunch of phones on a pstn line with each phone having a hold button. The goal here is to allow me to pick up a call on any of the 7960's anywhere in my house and be able to move from room to room as needed by placing the call on hold and picking it up on one of the other phones in the house. /"\ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \ / - ASCII Ribbon Campaign .
