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

[Mergenthal, Chase]

Would it be feasible for the 'Boss' to send an Instant Message to their 'Secretaries'?

I really liked the ATA/Jolt solution, but I think Jabber/Lync has replaced electrocution...

On a slightly more serious note, you could just do an external alerter (Flashing light / Ringing Bell) that rings when he calls the extension setup for it.

I'm sure the secretary would appreciate a strobe light or a Klaxon going off.

I think I've got a solution.
1. We need to use an ATA-187.
2. Take the wires and connect them to a metal plate.
3. When he dials the ATA's extension, the secretary will experience a jolt. One jolt means x, one means y, and one means z.

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!
