anyone able to ring multiple locations all phones at same time

[bigjerms]

I need to find a way to ring all phones at three locations at the same time.

1 ip office 406v2, 2 ip office soe.

SCN between all sites.

I need all the phones to ring simultaneously at all locations.

Anyone been able to get this to work.

Hi,

Create a separate hunt group and put all the extensions you want to ring into it. Choose Hunt Type as Group for this hunt group. Now, if you'll direct calls to the hunt group's extension number, all the members of the hunt group will ring.

He wants extension at different sites to ring. This is currently not possible. Look for this feature in IP Office 4.0 Q1 2007.

found way to do it, but its kind of wishy washy.

Put phone line splitter before trunk module and split the trunk into however many locations you want to ring. Then put in call routes for those locations you want to ring on each trunk port.

First call one to answer gets the call.

It has some other querks, but overall it seems to be working ok.

Can't you have a group at the main site that has all the users of that site in it set to Group Type Ring AND then add a user that has Forwarding turned on that forwards to a shortcode that calls over the VOIP line to a group on the other systems that rings all phones?

So a call comes in and rings lets say the "Main" group at site A. One member of that group is set to forward on hunt group calls. That Extn. forwards to a short code that looks like this:
Shortcode- #123
Number- 400 (a group at site B)
Feature- Dial
Line ID- 15 (ID of VOIP line to site B)

In theory this seems like it would work. I will try it when I can but if anyone sees a hole in it I don't let me know.

Forwarding for Huntgroup Calls don't work when Huntgroup is set to ring in Groupmode.

I'm not sure if the original group keeps ringing once the overflow time is met and the overflow group is ringing but if it does then you can create a group with just that user in it (the one who is set to forward) set it to linier and have the "Main" group overflow to that group.

Would that work or does the priginal group stop ringing once the overflow starts (I don't think it stops).

 

[janni78]

The original group stops ringing when it goes to overflow.

What you can do is to make it ring on one group on the first site and then after a time go over to ring on a group on a second site.

Release 4.0 is planned to allow users of one site to members of a group on another site across SCN.

Bigjerms solution sounds interesting and crazy though

 

[bigjerms]

Its crazy, sometimes if you pick up the call at the same time from two of the locations you actually have a 3 way conversation.

I got the idea from another tech that said it might work, and that he had no other idea on what to try until Avaya adds the feature.

It eats up quite a few analog ports, but it seems to work.
