Hotdesking

[jcadman (Joshua Cadman)]

I am currently using Freepbx on a raspberry pi which has several trunks with different extensions and caller IDs, I know with other systems like Cisco they have features to login and out on phones (hot dealing) and found that there is an option for freepbx with endpoint manager for $149. Is there a cheaper way to setup hotdesking or any way to have hot desking or even to use the default *11 and *12 for logins and have them both on one line with bold so it lights up when you are logged in.

FYI: I currently use device and use setting.

Thanks,
Joshua

FYI, I am not sure commercial FReePBX modules (EPM) work on Raspberry Pi’s, the are not supported commercially for sure. Device and user mode is hotdesking. As far as making a phone react in a certain way, I imagine that would be more on the endpoint side.

What phones do you use? If Sangoma, EPM is free of charge. There is also the open source equivalent OSS.

I recommend reading and following up with additional questions.

[SOLVED] BLF Hints Not Working

Hello all, I am experiencing an issue with BLF for non-extensions, like *280 for our call flow control feature code, or *45 for the call queue toggle code. I did check that the call queue toggle is enable to create the hint for BLF, but when I configure a Cisco phone to BLF *45, I see an orange light instead - the same is true for call flow control. I also have dynamic hints enabled under advanced settings, and asterisk.conf also has execincludes=yes under [options]. When I type ‘core show hin…

Advisability of Device and User Mode

Hi We had one client who ran for years in user/device mode – this worked, but it was quite a hassle. We now have another large client who wants to swap to this mode. What opinions are there about this mode of working? Essentially, the client wants to force the users to “log in” to be able to receive calls. Peter

Both parts of that are “not supported”.
