[Asterisk-Users] Shared Call and Bridged Line appearances onPolycom IP501

[Paul Crick]

Hi Anthony

I'm pretty sure Asterisk doesn't support the shared line appearances the
way Polycom does, but you CAN get calls to simultaneously ring multiple
destinations. The wiki has documentation for the Dial command - you're
going to specify multiple targets.

Example: 123 is the boss's phone which should ring his desk as well as a
secondary line appearance on his secretary's phone

exten => 123,1,Dial(SIP/123&SIP/123b)

Where 123 is his phone, and 123b is a separate registration/line key on his
secretary's phone.

You can get in to all sorts of clever stuff with macros where it'll ring
her phone first, then roll over to his if unanswered within X seconds or
busy, ending up in his voicemail if neither phone is answered/available.
Feel free to give me a shout if you need a hand.

Cheers
Paul
