<div> The snom360 phones along with the current CVS-HEAD of Asterisk can presently do this. You'll want to do a wiki search on "Hint" in the dialplan for implementation details.</div>

<div> Polycom has also just released a DSS sidecar to go with their 601 model phones, but the firmware to support more than 8 appearances at a time is still in the works. </div>

<div> If you need something "now", I'd go with snom360's and Asterisk. I have deployed this already in production and it is working quite well. The DSS LED lights solid when the person is on the line, and blinks when their phone is ringing with an incoming call.

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">I have a client that has an old Merlin system. They would like to move to an Asterisk based system, however, with their existing system each phone is capable of displaying who is on the phone within there office. This is done by lighting a red light for each line(extension) that is in use. Has anyone been able to neatly create this feature? Perhaps an XML application can be written for the Cisco 7960's that would be capable of displaying which extension is being used and which extensions are not in use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
