Does anyone know if or how to configure Asterisk/Freepbx and a Handset to enable users to login to the respective phones.
I know CISCO has such an option in Call Manager however I cannot find any doco’s that enable such a feature in asterisk/freepbx. I know you can configure the followme extension however it does not enable the user to login to the phone.
I have multiple users in the office and they constantly switch between phones, having a login on the phone would make life alot easier…
It sounds like your FreePBX is running in extension mode (the default mode), which uses a 1 to 1 relationship between user and device. To allow 1 to many, or adhoc, relationships between a user and device(s), FreePBX needs to be switched into deviceanduser mode. This allows a user to login to any adhoc device with his extension and password. I don’t use this mode, so I can’t offer much help, but here is a link to get your started. You can also search the site for “deviceanduser mode”.
