Grandstream 2000 and beyond. Although I think it's pointless just stating a phone type - this doesn't actually answer the posters questions.. > hbk wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I am still dreaming of replacing our now 16 year old Panasonic with *! >> I have played with * for many years but are uncertain how to get >> "Panasonic" functions like: >> >> KEY system buttons/LED or LCD soft keys indicating outside line usage. This I don't know about - Just how do you monitor a Zap line from a VoIP phone, and arrange it so that pushing a button on the phone connects you to that line... Personally, I'd re-educate the users - they now have a PBX and not a Key-Line system. Old habits die hard though... >> Intercom function that allows one way talking true speaker on all phones >> in a group. See the Page() application. >> Intercom function that allows two way direct speaker phone conversation >> from approved phones without receiver having to touch his phone. Page again - the "trick" is to get the phone to (a) auto-answer when a magic command ise sent to it (or if it's a muli-account phone assange one account to auto-answer in speaker phone mode), and (b) hangup the call when the remote end hangs up. The Page() function has 2 modes - one speaker, 1 or many listeners (one way talking) and complete full-duplex (2-way intercom mode, but you really only want to do this between 2 phones!) >> Any suggestion on Phone and how to implement? I know that Grandstreams and Snoms support the Page() function - presumbly the Polycoms and most others do too, but I'd really think about the re-education step to move from a Key-Line to PBX system...
