[asterisk-users] PTT push to talk solution

[Pete Mundy]

Hi Jerry

As others have eluded to, the 'PTT' feature can mean different things to different people depending on their background.

Is it fair to say that you're looking for a one-touch button which initiates a call to the other end and causes the other end to automatically answer in speakerphone mode?

If that would foot the bill then have a look at the auto-answer feature of Yealink and Snom phones (and others I'm sure). It can be easily triggered by adding a SIP header line into your dialplan so that the necessary header is included with the invite (this triggers the auto-answer at the remote end).

If you have either of these brands to play with and need the dialplan code just sing out.
