<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Hi All, <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We’re using Asterisk 1.4, and Cisco phones exclusively
(mostly the 7961G, but a few 7911Gs and one 7912G for the time being—all running
the SIP firmware image, plus a few analog extensions until the next capital
funding cycle).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Each user has a phone at his or her desk, but there are also
a growing number of “common area” phones (hallway, kitchen,
conference rooms, data center, etc), and our users tend to be relatively mobile
– revolving around their office, but might have a quick meeting in a
conference room, or be BSing in the kitchen, or what have you. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The request has come for users to know that their desk phone
is ringing and be able to grab their calls, without having to log in/log
out/forward their extension (after all a lot of this is very impromptu – you
might just be waking back to the kitchen to grab a soda, bump into a coworker,
and have a 20 minute discussion about widget X) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It is, of course, quite easy to make multiple sets ring
simultaneously (e.g SIP/xxxx&SIP/yyyy) – but both sets get the same
caller ID info, so if I were to do this no one at the common area sets would
know who the call was for. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Is there any way to feed different caller ID information to
both sets while keeping them ringing simultaneously? My idea is to prefix the
called extension to the name field (so as not to break redial/callback features
on the phones) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For example, call from John Smith (x2789) to Jane Doe (x1234)
would ring Jane’s desk, the nearest conference room, and kitchen phones
and present the caller ID as “John Smith” in her office, but “1234>John
Smith” or something similar on the common area phones. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Regardless of the advisability of implementing this in real
life, does this question make sense and is there an easyish way to implement
this? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>TIA for any pointers – and please keep in mind that I’m
still a relative newbie for both Linux and Asterisk. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
