Re: [asterisk-users] Paging for analoge devices

2008-05-13 Thread bilal ghayyad
Hi Steve;

If we give a look for the link
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+page
there are some topics not cleared to complete the
paging senario:

1) Why to use Set(_ALERT_INFO="RA")? And how can I
know what each device take? 

2) Does the following work for Polycom:

SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:\;answer-after=0)


3) Can I do paging without use Page and only by using
Dial (but I will set the previous paramters as
needed)?

4) Any configuration need to be done on the Meet Me
conference to have the Paging working fine?

Regards
Bilal

I am going on memory but I do recall that Aastra had a phone that used
ADSI codes that would 'turn on' a speaker on an analog phone

Re: [asterisk-users] Paging for analoge devices

2008-04-28 Thread Steve Totaro
Bilal,

So you want to page through your analog phones, no overhead paging.  I
doubt this is possible.

I think your options are an IP phones such as the Polycom that
supports paging or using an AMP and speakers usually mounted high on
the wall or flush with a tile ceiling.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

Yes I suspect the GS ATAs (286/486) have the same option and have a
simple single pair analog RJ11 jack for an analog device.  Might be
even cheaper and definitely lower profile than a full blown phone.

Besides that I have had bad luck with GS phones (based on the BT102s)
losing registration.  This was quite some time ago but the ATAs never
gave me any problems.

Steve Totaro

One of the lowest cost solutions I've used for this is a Grandstream BT-200.
You can buy the phone for around $50, it supports auto answer, and it has a
miniature audio jack already on it. Just run the output to an amplifier and
speakers and your good to go.

Bilal,

Sorry to reply to my reply but if you can register multiple accounts
and setup auto answer on one of those accounts, it could work.  The
problem is, I am not sure if there are any ATAs that have this
ability.

Thanks,

Re: [asterisk-users] Paging for analoge devices

2008-04-28 Thread Steve Totaro
Bilal,

No, I do not think that you can make this work.  You would obviously
need auto answer or how else would the audio come out of the speakers?

I thought you were talking about overhead paging.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

[asterisk-users] Paging for analoge devices

2008-04-28 Thread bilal ghayyad
Hi All;

Just would like to know if Boger, UPAM, and Onkyo can
be connected to the FXS ports and take extension from
asterisk?

And why Onkyo is needed if I need to use horn
speakers? 

Regards
Bilal

Just thinking about it, I could pick up a nice
refurbed Onkyo and some
horn speakers and create an industrial paging system
complete with a
couple of zones for much less than any other over
priced "paging
solution".

A and B speakers could be used for two zones and
balance could be used
for two other zones.

You may be able to find the device a little cheaper, but without the brand
name, by searching for "UPAM".  Typically, these will have the "AT&T" or
"Lucent" names branded on them, despite being identical and
manufactured by exactly the same entity.
