[cisco-voip] 'buzz' secretary's phone?

[Haas, Neal]

Well now, have him use email, that might be more efficient. Nortel went the way of telegraph. :>

You might have him select a certain speed dial on his phone, that corresponds to a specific number on the secretaries phone, she doesn't need to pick it up just read what  it means on the phone........more Coffee, bring me a doughnut.....

Good luck

We already have that set up.  The problem this user has with that is it puts their current call on hold.

He uses it almost like a teelegraph.  1 buzz means x.  2 buzz means y.  3 menas z and so on.  It's really an antiquated methodology but it does have it's merits.

He likes it because it doesn't interrupt a call in progress and the secretary doesn't need to be looking at the phone or the PC to get the 'message'.

Yes InformaCast can do this.

But what we did was just add a speed dial on the Supervisors phones and then add a NON-DID to the secretary's phone that says "Boss is calling" (not really but tell them that any way). Now the boss has a direct line and the secretary has a line that she knows she needs to answer and that does not go to voicemail.

I have a small group of users who were fond of the old PBX feature where they could 'buzz' their secretary.  I think this was some sort of signaling key in the Nortel world.

Does anyone know if there is an XML service that might accomplish this?  Would the basic Informacast product be able to accomplish this or would we be better off finding some sort of buzzer box that we could crossconnect to the secretary's location?

Thanks in advance!
