[asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones

[Alec Davis]

I have done a similar exercise for Grandstream GXP2000 phones, to display
the extension number, user name, DND status.
It uses apache, php and mysql. Uses SIP Notify to update the phone's
display. Phone display status changes within 2 seconds.
 
I published the initial test version at the following address,

We do have some CISCO 7940's but never got around to doing the XML to play
the appropriate deck of cards.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Changing labels on Phones


We have several types of phones, Cisco 79xx, Aastra 9133i etc. We have a
"hotdesk" type system where anyone can log on to an extension - however what
I would love to do is relabel the phone with the current "owner" when this
logon happens. I know that I can change the sip.conf and phones tftp file,
however this is a big problem with the Cisco's as they take *forever* (ok,
maybe 2 / 3 minutes) to reboot (VLAN problem) 

1) Has anyone actually solved this VLAN issue with the cisco ?
2) Is there any way of changing a label without rebooting the phone ?

TIA
