[Asterisk-Users] 4 X100P's, 4 7960's Same Box?

Cisco's CM can do the multiple line appearances, showing state.  We
could not ever get ringback on any phone except the extension that it
was assigned to.

Our workaround was to get a sidecar for each handset.  With the side
cars, you get colored lights that blink different colors for different
call states.  When it rang back, it would blink orange (I think) which
was a visual cue that it needed to be picked up.

I have not yet tried this with *, as I just left BYU to go to a small
company with an annual IT budget of about a burger and 2 fries.  But I
know the skinny protocol is going to support it.  There may be some
features we need to fill out in the code for * to be able to take
advantage of those features.

Hope this helps,
David Gomillion

excellent choice.

yes for inbound.  1 rings 1... 2 rings 2.. and so on.  Not the best
method
of doing this.. but ok.

Not possible with SIP... might be with Skinny.  Use parking or transfer.

Nope. (See previous answer)

see

Nope. (Not with SIP)

I have 3 in my Dell Poweredge 500SC but you need to have a good bios.
One
that will let you put each card on its own IRQ.

These warnings are stupid.  They should be at the top if you really want
people to read them.
