RE: [Asterisk-Users] Sending broadcasts to all phones?

2004-10-18 Thread Edward Eastman
As explained on the wiki page
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Cisco+7940-7960+auto-answer+config you don't
just do a dial(phone1phone2) you put all the phones through to a
conference, the one drawback of this is that you have to set one of the
cisco's lines to autoanswer, which you probably won't want most of the time.
If you've got a 7960 this probably won't worry you too much (who needs 6
lines anyway?), but on a 7940 it could be a pain.

I can't see any way around this without modifying the cisco firmware (unless
you could do something cunning with the cisco phone's telnet interface?).

 Well, actually, it's not on the WIKI.  The WIKI would help you set up
 a Cisco phone to auto-answer, but that's not all he needs here.
 The problem is that if you dial phone1phone2 then the first phone
 to auto-answer will receive the broadcasted call.  The other phones
 in the list will not hear anything.  Well, that'd be what I'd expect
 to happen with Dial(), anyway.
 
 Stan seems to be asking for a system where the caller hears a ring tone
 until all phones (auto)answer, and is then able to speak to them all at
 once.  It'd be kind of like an enforced conference call, but with one
 speaker and multiple listeners, and with all audio received from the
 called phones thrown away rather than distributed.
 
 It could be done, but would need a new Dial()-based application to do
 it, I think.  Perhaps there's an existing facility that can be used to
 to do this.  If there is then I can't think of it.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sending broadcasts to all phones?

2004-10-16 Thread Torsten Krueger

Hi,

On Sat, 16 Oct 2004, Stan Brinkerhoff wrote:

 able to pick up the phone, dial an extension, and it broadcasts what he
 says over every phone in his house without the phones having to be

 What is this feature called?
 Would it be possible to set this up with Asterisk given the appropriate
 phones? (Cisco?)

I'm thinking about the same problem with snom phones. My thougts regarding
this feature are as follows.
This can only work with the help of the phone. With the Snom 190s and Snom
200s two ways to do this come to mind.

a) Let the phone autoanswer an incoming call
With the snom phone you can configure Auto-Answer of incoming calls.
Unfortunately this can only be globally activated. What would be needed is
the possibility to configure this feature dependend on the incoming line
or on the incoming CLID. A solution based on the CLID would be the better
solution.

b) Let the phone issue a call
Via the Webinterface of the snoms an outgoing call can be started. To make
use of this a bunch of things has to be done.
- Generate an extension where the e.g. receptionist can issue his/her
  announcment. (call 995, get a voiceprompt leave your announcement after
  the tone, hangup.
- Save the recorded announcement as GSM or convert it respectively
- Generate an extension where the announcement can be heard
- Let an agi-script lookup which phones to contact
- Let the script determine which phones are busy (because the snom phone
  will   send any ongoing call to the parking orbit when an extension is
  dialed over the webinterface)
- Let the script do something like curl http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -d  NUMBER=996

Both solutions unfortunately are specific to the phones used. Solution a)
would be much more simple than b) . I've asked the snom support on
thursday wether they would consider implementing this. BTW: has someone
experience with the sourcecode and tools they provide on their webpage?

Regards
Torsten






 Thanks,
 Stan
