[Asterisk-Users] Re: One Extension - Two Calls?

[casasterisk at valnet.com]

Polycom IP501.  So do you set each line to register with the same info then?  Also, does this allow for two phones to have the same extension number and both get the call?  If so then I must have something else wrong because like I had written, only one phone rings if two are configured for the same extension.

On my 4-line IP phones I can have 4 simutaneous calls come in with only the 1 registration. When a second call comes in you push line 2 and Asterisk starts music-on-hold on line 1. What kind of IP phones are you using.
