[asterisk-users] Playing music through VoIP handsets while on hook
This is something I've seen with some key systems and PBXs. When the phones are on-hook, they can play music throughout the office instead of having an overhead speaker system do it. Never heard of it being done with VoIP, but figured I'd ask if anyone else has. I don't see any way to do this on any phones I've looked at. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Playing music through VoIP handsets while on hook
I've seen this implemented on polycom phones where a secondary extension is on the phone that is setup to auto answer and they have something on the PBX side that is configured to call some or all of the secondary extensions On Jan 10, 2013 8:28 PM, Carlos Alvarez car...@televolve.com wrote: This is something I've seen with some key systems and PBXs.

Depends on whether the phones are local to the server. Unless you're looking at hundreds of phones, a 100MB network running 80k to every phone wouldn't even notice. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Playing music through VoIP handsets while on hook
Lol yes it was all local on a gigE network even :) I also didnt say it was the most elegant solution but it seemed to work well with them they even had grouped it into extensions and I'm sure you could even write some logic to make sure the calls are local On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 9:31 PM, Carlos Alvarez car...@televolve.com wrote: On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 6:42 PM, Christopher Harrington ch...@acsdi.com wrote: Wow, that seems wildly bandwidth inefficient.

You can setup an IP port combination that the phone will accept audio at; once stream data starts arriving, the phone will start playback. [*] and possibly others as well, but that is what I have on my desk. Reasonably multicast will be ignored during a call though. AFAIK Asterisk supports Page to multicast. VLC or the like may also be audio sources.
