Exactly. I was pretty sure the answer was no on the busy call handling, but I wanted to be sure before I started asking "Why are we doing this?". I really need to understand why we are doing what we are doing and find out if it is really being used. It could be this was the closest thing they could get to the functionality they really wanted. I think a hunt group is more what they wanted.

Anyway, thanks again for all the help.

Realize you are asking for a digital system to return a BUSY signal when calling a user with a digital handset.

Yes you can dumb down the phone (with some) to handle a single call at a time). Since the phones can handle more than 1 call, have voicemail and such, it really centers on the "reasoning" behind trying to do this.

We normally see incoming calls in our environments hit a hunt group to handle "manually live person answered calls" during business hours.

In a call center environment, you would use other tools, such as the upcoming OpenACD integration.

Start by understanding what the system has and publishing that to your users. I find trying to get every bit of functionality isn't always prudent right away EVEN if it is possible. Users need to grasp the basic differences when migrating from a KEY system. Fortunately you can put the handsets side-by-side for an acclimation period.

    Just want to know where the differences are so I can communicate
    those to the users. If I'm the sipX admin, I need to know more
    about the system than anyone else in the company. If I'm asked a
    question, I need to be able to answer it.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Other features are phone specific.

    Did you want a SIP Communications System or a TDM PBX?  ;-)

        There is a sample Quick reference guide in the book, but it only
        mentions *78 for directed call pickup and *4 for picking up a
        parked call.

        If you read through the TUI section in chapter 8, it mentions
        the following:

        Directed Call Pickup: *78 + ext
        Pickup a Parked Call: *4 + park orbit
        Intercom: *76 + ext
        Paging Groups: *77 + paging group number
        ACD sign in and out: *86 & *88 respectively

        Are there any others?

        There are in-conference commands and v-mail menu options
        also, but
        specifically I was looking for feature codes.

        The main reason I was asking is that moving from a standard
        PBX w/analog
        phones to sipXecs and digital phones some features are moved
        around and
        I'm looking to ease the transition or at least make a
        cross-reference.
        Users are used to doing everything via the phone's keypad.
        Now some
        items are moved to the web portal (call forwarding) and some
        to a menu
        on the phone (speed dial). I'm trying to think about user
        training.
