incorporating cyberdata paging amp with piaf

[therock112]

hoping someone here who has programming experience can help out:

I am interested in finding a solution to this issue.

heres what I need to figure out, when a ring group is called, i want to play a ringing tone (wav/gsm file) on the cyberdata paging amp, which always auto-answers when called, no way to turn off auto-answer.

i am quite certain this issue can be solved with the right coding in asterisk etc, i am no programmer tho.

sip phone extension : 200 (answers only when someone picks up)
cyberdata paging amp : 201 (this auto answers permanently)
cyberdata intercom : 202 (calls originate from here)
ring group : 600
members of ring group 600 are ext 200, with ringall strategy set.

the following would be the code, I think:
exten => 600,1,Dial(SIP/200)

heres what I would like to achieve:
when someone presses the intercom button, ring group 600 is called, extension 200 starts ringing:

1. play a ringing.wav on extension 201 (exten => s,n,Playback(/paging/ringing))
2. if timeout occurs, stop playing on ext 201
3. if call is answered stop playing on ext 201

how would i know if a call has been answered or cancelled tho, specificaly when answered by 200 or cancelled by 202?

any help would be appreciated.

thx

Sound like you are trying to turn the speaker into a shop ringer?

Is there not a setting in the speaker to ring x times? Have you asked the Cyberdata guys to put something like that in?

the pitfall as I see it with the paging amp is that, there is no option (confirmed with cyberdata engineers) to disable auto answer, which is a shame....

it always auto answers, i wish they had added that feature in there.

with polycom phones and others, by sending a alert-info sip header, auto-answer could be enabled on demand etc, something like that would have been fantastic....

cyberdata is working on releasing Version 2 of a paging amp that will have it....i wish they could modify their existing firmware to incorporate this functionality etc.

Honestly, then I would not try to make it do something it not suppose to. Maybe have that extension join a conference that has a ring tone for MOH....

Dunno.

i am pretty sure someone with programming skills can make this happen, unfortunately I am no programmer......

by getting it to work programmatically, I dont think I am violating anything with cyberdata or the asterisk community in anyway, heck isnt that the beauty of open source....
