<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Hi all,</div><div>I'm planning a new Asterisk installation; the users want to duplicate the paging function they have with their current Panasonic hybrid system. They dial *3 and announce a held call on line 3, for example, and the announcements comes out of all the desktop phone speakers. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm planning to implement this using the Page() application in addition to parking the call. The O'Reilly book doesn't talk much about Page(), just says that it dumps the channels into a dynamically created MeetMe room which is quickly torn down.</div><div><br></div><div>To make this work with typical desktop speakerphones, is there anything I need to do in sip.conf? (I was thinking I might need to set autoanswer=yes, for example). I can use a second line presence on all the phones to support this if necessary; I'm using SPA-942s. I don't want all the phones to ring - just have the announcement audible at each phone without the user needing to pick up.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I apologize for not being able to try this out myself - I'm out of the country with no access to sip phones right now. Any help/lessons learned using Page() would be most appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Cassius Smith<br></div></span></body></html>
