You could park them, and then use the intercom feature. <br><br>The intercom feature in Polycoms requires you to set the SIP Header information in your call, and also use the XML config files to tell the Polycom how to answer a call with the header you will be sending.
<br><br>If you want all your phones to react the same way, do this in you sip.cfg file. Otherwise, do this in the cfg for the individual phone. Within the <SIP> </SIP> tags, put this: <br><br><alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value=
"Ring Answer" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="4"/><br><br>In my extensions.conf I've just put this:<br><br>exten => _*51XXX,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Ring Answer)<br>exten => _*51XXX,2,Dial(sip/${EXTEN:3:3})
<br>exten => _*51XXX,3,Hangup<br><br>Anyone who needs to intercom dials via *51EXT, where ext is the three digit extension of the person they need to intercom.<br><br>So, if your secretary were to park the person first, then intercom the called party with the parking space the person is in, this should be the solution to your issue.
