[cisco-voip] Hardware question ----- possibly OT, but perhaps not..

[Voll, Scott]

Do you have Berbee informacast?

 

If so, this is very easy as you can setup button on the phone to
broadcast and or text a phone.  Pretty slick.

 

Education pricing isn't too bad and you could get a way with a small
package to just include the phones you need this to work and page to.

hi folks--- 

My school district wants me to find some sort of network-based 'panic
button' 
that the secretary can use to quietly alert people that there's a
problem in the front lobby. 

We don't have a sophisticated enough alarm system to tie into that-- so
the usual analog buttons wouldn't do much --- 

I'd like to find some sort of IP-based button that would trigger some
network events-- 

Here's the part where we get into the 'not OT' bit--- 

They want a push of this button to flash up a message on several
people's phone displays 

(does anyone have some simple and complete code they'd share for pushing
a message to a phone?) 

 

Anyone got any ideas about where one can get a pushbutton triggerable
network event device?
