Ola Lidholm wrote: In queue.conf (or is it called queues.conf?) you can set up a call queue with all your phones already in it. Which will mean that if you pass the incoming call to that queue all phones will be ringing until one person picks it up. At my work we have it set up like that. And additionally, people can join or leave the call queue by dialing certain extensions on their phones, which can be convenient when people do not want to be disturbed. I do not understand exactly how you mean your system works, how does the users know when someone is at the door? Since no phone is ringing it seems to me like a guessing game to know when they need to dial in to the meetme to open the door? Do you have free sight to the entrance door so that you can see if someone is already there? /Ola LOL. There's a door chime that rings that everyone can hear, and there's a second or two after it goes off where we all look at each other to see who's gonna budge. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [asterisk-users] Doorphone
I looked at a call queue, but it didn't seem to work the way I want. Agents need to log into the queue to get calls, seemingly. Of course, I only stopped on the topic for a short period. with the meetme conference, anyone can answer the door from any phone by dialing the conference extension, just not open the door.

Hi Ray, I can't really understand why you want to use a meetme conference? Why not use a call queue instead? /Ola Lidholm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whatever one man is capable of conceiving, other men are able to achieve. - Jules Verne. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users winmail.dat___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [asterisk-users] Doorphone
Responsibility for answering the door is shared by the entire office. But A) noone wants their phone to ring, there's a door chime) and B) noone specific will accept responsibility for answering the door. So, we need a solution that follow I'm answering the door now, these are the buttons I push.

You can have static agents so they don't have to login, check http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+call+queues Wondering why you don't just dial multiple-phones, like this Dial(SIP/7001SIP/7002SIP/7003) The first one that answer the call is the lucky one. That way, your DTMF signals would work. hth ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users winmail.dat___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
