Re: [asterisk-users] Need some help with a very simple Queestion..

Hi Gavin,

You don't need queues to ring two phones, you can simply use the dial
command:

Dial(SIP/1SIP/10001)   -- Would dial SIP extensions 1 and 10001.

Now if you want the ability to have multiple people waiting on the line for
those two extensions, that's when you need to look at the option of queues.

Cheers,
AR

Hi List,

Just a simple question for the list this time..

I need to setup 2 Phones than can Both ring when an incoming
call is made to a certain number...

I have done this 3,000,000s times with CCM and have no
problems with it, But it is the 1st time I have needed to do
this with Asterisk.

I think it can be done using Queues/Agents but I'm just unsure
how do it..

The setup in question is a very small 5 Phones System based
on SME 7.1  SAIL (Asterisk  web interface) I have a small
Sandbox setup here with me to test the test before I need to go
set it up on the live system. My test phone is a Grandstream
GXP 2000 but I will be using SPA-941's in the Live Environment

Any help with this simple question would be great.

Best Regards

Actually, what he's referring to is that posters should start a NEW
thread for a new subject.

To send a message to the list, click Compose or New or whatever the
button is on your particular client (apologies to those using console
clients like Mutt) for new messages and enter the list address in the
To: field.

This means *not* clicking 'reply' to an existing message on the list and
then rewriting the subject line (seems like a lot of extra work anyway,
doesn't it?) People do this because they can't be bothered to type the
list address. That's not hard to solve -- add the address to your
address book and create a nickname for it.

The reason is that it screws up the message threading. If you are using
a threaded reader, or if you are in the archives, you'll have a tree of
messages with the original subject line (say, My Asterisk server blew
up!) and in the middle of it there'll be something totally unrelated
(say, Marmite is good on scones.)

Very frustrating if you're trying to read through a thread in the hopes
of solving your problem.

It's most important for the archives, as these are saved for future
reference and are insanely confusing when somebody has piped in to an
existing thread.

Right.. After a little clicking around and getting a fresh pair of eyes to
help me look-over the web interface of SAIL, I found a way of
doing what I wanted by adding an Alias and making all inbound calls
ring the alias.

Thanks For your suggestion Gordon, That also worked by hand editing
the .conf files...

Is Marmite also available in Ontario, or only Out West?

RE: [asterisk-users] Need some help with a very simple Queestion..

2007-05-11 Thread Chris Bagnall
 You don't need queues to ring two phones, you can simply use the dial
 command:
 Dial(SIP/1SIP/10001)   -- Would dial SIP extensions 1 and 10001.

I would strongly suggest you might want to create a queue for it anyway. One of 
the things I've noticed in the past (and it's not asterisk's fault - it's a SIP 
endpoint issue) is that the majority of phones declare themselves busy in 
their SIP reply whilst they're ringing. So, for example, if two calls come in 
very close together and both phones are ringing for the first call, the second 
will receive busy even if the second SIP device could take that call.

Regards,

Chris

As far as I know, Marmite is available all across this land, from sea to
sea to sea.

Three cheers for Marmite.
