Unless something has changed in asterisk that I missed, I don't believe it is possible to use *8<group #>. As mentioned previously, those phones that have a defined 'pickupgroup' are the only ones that can pick up a phone/line that has been defined with a 'callgroup'. If you have a small installation, then just include something like: callgroup=2 pickupgroup=2 in all sip phone definitions. (I don't know if '0' is a valid number that can be assigned to callgroup or pickupgroup. You might test it after you've made it work with some other number.) _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
