Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?
That won't work.. That'll DIAL multiple phones/extensions, but will only
bridge 1 of them when it auto-answers..
What we need is a way to have something like meetme call multiple extensions
and bridge them to a meetme confrence (all of them muted but the admin of
course, as it's a one way page) and then we would have a true paging
system..

I've got a small and crude recipe for those of you who want to experiment and hopefully create some better and more complete examples than the one I've thrown together below. Create a new line on each of the Cisco phones, and put the configuration into sip.conf as you normally would. I figure you have enough clue to create a new line in sip.conf and on your Cisco phones at this point. Go into settings - Call Preferences - Auto Answer (intercom) and then make the new line you've just created as auto-answer. (I wish there was a way to do this via the configuration file! Having to set this while sitting in front of the phone is silly and wasteful.) Now that you have created a valid Asterisk-capable SIP line that auto-answers, here's how you get the paging features to work: Here's what I have in extensions.conf: [conference] exten = ,1,AbsoluteTimeout(21) exten = ,2,AGI(callall) exten = ,3,MeetMe(,dq) exten = ,4,Hangup exten = t,1,Hangup exten = T,1,Hangup exten = h,1,Hangup ; [add-to-conference] exten = start,1,AbsoluteTimeout(20) exten = start,2,MeetMe(,dmq) exten = h,1,Hangup exten = t,1,Hangup exten = T,1,Hangup Here are the contents of /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/callall #!/bin/sh cp /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/*conf /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing Make sure to make the script executable. And then for every extension I have as an auto-answer, I have a file like this in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin : Channel: SIP/2006 Context: add-to-conference Extension: start Priority: 1 CallerID: Office Pager So, I have three lines that are configured for automatic answering - SIP/2006, SIP/2007, SIP/2008. I have three files named 2006-conf, 2007-conf, 2008-conf in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin that get copied into the outgoing call spool directory every time I call extension . These three lines are the auto-answer lines on each of the three phone devices I'm experimenting with. Now, dial from any phone and you should have one-way paging. Voila! People who use the pager may have to get used to waiting 1-2 seconds before speaking to allow all the phones to catch up with the audio stream. All of the phones hang up after 20 seconds, regardless of if the person originating the page has stopped talking. Change the AbsoluteTimeout values to increase this interval. If you want a really confusing loud mess, then change the dmq options to dq and you'll get an N-way conversation going with everyone who has a phone. Bad. If you want a really interesting office surveillance tool, change the dmq to dt and you'll suddenly be listening to all of the extensions in the office, like some kind of mega-snoop tool. Useful for after-hours listening throughout the entire office. Someone should improve my scripts with the following changes: 1) AGI should automatically show the caller ID of the person originating the call instead of a generic pager address 2) The AGI should take arguments of what extensions to call and then dynamically create the list of files that get copied out to the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing directory JT ___ 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

The cisco v6.x sip releases also include the ability to auto-answer a call (required for phone paging), however some folks tend to suggest that is a security problem as anyone can call that autoanswer extn number and listen in on whatever is going on around the phone. There is no beep or other indication the phone/microphone is open. If your customer is looking for overhead (as in PA) paging, there are lots of postings relative to add-on hardware, etc, to do that.

There is no beep or other indication the phone/microphone is open. We are on Cisco's beta program where we get to try out the new sip software before it's released, report bugs, suggestions, etc. This was one of the things I pointed out to them. I suggested adding a beep or something just before it answers. At the very least, they could make the icon of that line different than the regular idle icon. They didn't add the beep, but they did add the icon so when the phone is idle, you can see that it could auto-answer. I'll try suggesting it again for 7.X of the SIP image. ___ 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

As far as an intro-tone, you can set the dialcommand to play a sound (using the announce option) before the call isconnected. I grabbed a simple tone wav file, and made it play that. Now,when the intercom ext is called, it plays the tone on the destination phone,and wa-la, intercomSo it works. Let me know if you need sample configs.-Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED][mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philipp vonKlitzingSent: Friday, May 07, 2004 12:57 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?Hi! able to support intercom/paging.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system?
I would apprechiate the wav tone... Regards, Steve Kalcevich Quoting Joe Antkowiak [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This is what we have for this customer. They have five phones right now. Their normal extensions are 610x, but for intercom its 510x: exten = 5101,1,Dial(SIP/5101,10,tA(intercom-tone)) exten = 5101,2,Congestion If you want the wav file, let me know. If you make your own, be sure to put a 1-2 second pause in the beginning, because when the cisco answers it takes a second or to before it will send any audio to the speaker. -Original Message- From: mitchel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Phones as paging system? Hey Joe, Could I get a sample config for playing some intro tones on the intercom? I have the same thing but nobody is using it now because they are afraid of having someone call in and listen in so we need some way to announce the incoming intercom call. Thanks, Mitchel Joe Antkowiak wrote: I am currently using 7960's with *, and line 6 is set to auto answer. Works great, customer is happy.
