I'm looking to possibly replace our current Asterisk-based PBX when sipX 4.2 rolls out (which I understand will have a much prettier interface).
While 4.x finally makes sipX more "Asterisk-like," in that it can now operate as a b2bua, the one issue that I don't think has been addressed yet is the ability to configure overlapping prompts and extensions in the Auto-Attendant. Specifically, when configuring an Auto-Attendant under "Actions" the following is stated: "To allow the attendant user to dial someone's extension at any time, do not assign an action to the first digit of the digits in the range of internal extensions. For example, if your internal extensions all start with 1, leave 1 blank." I don't know what others think about that limitation, presumably it's not a big deal since it is still there, but I just think that's kind of weird. Asterisk, in comparison, doesn't force me to "skip" using the "2" in Auto-Attendants just because our extensions start with a "2." Furthermore, I can't recall the last time I stumbled across an Auto-Attendant that went something like: "Press 1 for sales, Press 3 for billing..." Is this situation likely to change anytime soon? Or is the limitation I speak of non-existent (perhaps someone can explain what I'm missing). Thanks. -mark _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
