[Asterisk-Users] Question setting up a "bat phone" extension.

[Eric "ManxPower" Wieling]

It's called "hotline" or Private Line Auto Ringdown (PLAR).

SIP: It's a function of the phone, look for "hotline" in phone docs
Zap: immediate=yes, runs exten => when phone is picked up
Cisco and others: Look up PLAR
