[cisco-voip] shared line on ATA186

[Frazee, Timothy]

I am familiar with pickup groups and line group etc....

my question is: will the ATA freak out if both ports ring at the same time. I assume it wont as it would be a big deal.

the other question I had is if anyone knows if I can daisy chain two bogen amps connected to the bell input off of one ATA?

what is the ringer equalivance of a single port on an ATA? will it drive two bell inputs on two amps?

If I understand correctly, you need two ATA ports to ring
simultaneously. I'm going to make a presumption that you are needing to
ring a night bell so people can pick up a call from anywhere in the
building.

I would set up two extensions on the ATA ports, say 4201 and 4202 for
example. These extensions would be in a Call Pickup Group that the
potential call answering people would be able to access. Then create a
line group with the ATA extensions as members and the Distribution
Algorithm as "Broadcast". Associated that line group with a hunt list,
then a hunt pilot with the hunt list. The hunt pilot might be 4200, for
example.

Then, whenever you need the night bells to ring, send incoming calls to
4200. The Broadcast Hunt Group will make both extensions ring
simultaneously, so the night bell inputs to both paging systems would
ring. People can hit More Pickup (or More GPickUp plus the group number,
as is appropriate for their phone) to answer the incoming calls. 

Be sure that the Busy Trigger for the ATA extensions matches or exceeds
the number of incoming calls you need them to be able to ring for
simultaneously. By default, I think this is set to '2', so the third
incoming caller would get a busy signal.

Hope it helps!

Robert
