[asterisk-users] hotline with Polycom

[Jonathan Barratt]

We use this "hotline" / auto-dial functionality in our Polycoms. In the
phone-specific XML config file we have the following entry:

 

  <call>

    <autoOffHook call.autoOffHook.1.enabled="1"
call.autoOffHook.1.contact="201"/>

</call>

 

This dials extension 201 when the handset is lifted. I think it's pretty
self-explanatory, but if you have questions, feel free to ask...

 

Best wishes,

Subject: [asterisk-users] hotline with Polycom

 

Hi All,

 

This is more of a hardware question that an Asterisk question so I hope
this is still the correct place for the post.

 

I know with the Linksys phones you can create a hotline by using the
dial string of (S0<:number>).  I have been trying to do this with a
PolyCom phone but I have not been very successful.

 

Does anyone know how to create a hotline phone with a PolyCom?

 

The idea is that you pick up the handset and it automatically dials a
number.  It will be used in a foyer or front door.

 

Many thanks

David.
