[cisco-voip] phone to phone paging

[Fred Nielsen]

It doesn't necessarily have to be a DID. but you are right you do need to
burn an extension the way it works today. But frankly, the extension isn't
really a big deal, as you can mask it from the end-users completely and use
something really obscure that would never conflict (i.e make the real
extension something like 1111xxxx or whatever lead-in digits that won't
overlay with your dialing plan.. and translate appropriately).

 

What bothers me the most is that you have to burn a line appearance.  Those
can be precious when deploying 7940s as your standard.

I already have Berbee InformaCast for paging between phones.  So I know
about paging software. BUT I have an assistant on a PBX phone and the admin
just got a 7940 phone.  One DID on the 7940.  I know I could setup a second
extension on the admin's phone and set it to auto pick up on speaker phone,
but I was wondering if Cisco has made any kind of code dialing to do this.  

 

What I'm thinking would be nice is to make a translation pattern of 3.xxxx
would set the call pick up to speaker phone on that extension.  This way you
don't have to burn a second DID / extension.  Does anyone else think that
would be a benefit?  Are current PBX does this with a 7+extension.
