Hi all,
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.
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.
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.
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!
Regards,
Cassius Smith
