[cisco-voip] Poor Man's Intercom

For one phone this is entirely possible. Your original example
however included multiple phones going offhook and hearing the prompt
at the same time. When you call to a shared line or broadcast line
group only the first phone to answer will get the call. Outside of a
conference bridge all calls are one-to-one, not one-to-many.
What you are talking about with multiple phones is the same as a
broadcast page. You will be better off sending on a multicast source
and using the XML SDK to trigger the phones to listen to the multicast
stream. As someone else pointed out there are limitations to how
many outbound calls you can make at a time. Alternatively you could
start a Meetme conference from the IVR (maybe?) and use CTI control
of the phones to make them dial into the conference.

So you’re also saying that there is no method of having a script dial
an extension and play a prompt when that person answers? Prompts can
only be played for calls “inbound” to the script?
Thank You...

Has anyone tried this? Any way to make it work with multiple phones
simultaneously. I tried putting a different extension — 32200 through
32203 — on four (4) separate phones. I set the extension on each
phone to Auto Answer with Speakerphone. I then put those phones in a
Line Group with a Distribution Algorithm of Broadcast. I then set up
a Hunt Pilot that points to that Line Group. When I dial the Hunt
Pilot, the first phone in the group answers, the other three (3)
disconnect — aka hang up — and then the phone that answered goes to a
fast busy after a few seconds. If I dial the 32200 through 32203
individually, the “intercom” effect works as it should. Anyone know
of a way to make this work on multiple phones simultaneously or is it
just not doable. Just another of those weird thoughts that creep into
this old and feeble mind now and then. I’m also thinking of writing
scripts that step through extensions with pre-recorded emergency
warnings like “Evacuate the building immediately”, etc., so when the
route point is dialed it touches every phone in the building. Anyone
done anything similar. Thank You.
