Hi there, we came up onto a problem as we are now moving from a Siemens F650 to the FreePBX Distro.
There is a standard inside the HFA protocoll of the F650 which allows all pickup group members to see on their phone display, who is calling one of the other pickup group members without any sound. Just a display notification. I was trying to build something like that with entries inside the extensions_custom.conf, but without success.
It's very pity that this feature is not implemented into the FreePBX as standard.What we exactly need is the following:
Extension 1,6,8 and 36 are in the same pickup group.
If Extension 6 is getting a call from PSTN, or an internal extension, the Phone-displays from 1,8 and 36 should have a message like this: "call to 6 from XXXXYYX" so that you can decide to pickup the call via *8 or not.we are using yealink phones. We know, there is the option to switch on the BLF notification, but there we can't see the CID from incoming call. And you are able with this funcion to use the directed call pickup (*22 in our case) to pickup any incoming call from any extension you have as BLF Button. which includes CEO etc. This is definitely NOT what we want!
So I finally came up here and now asking you, if you know a way to finish this task with success.
Please help!
[EDIT]
For sure, the message should be displayed only as long as the extension is ringing. Afterwards, the message should disappear from the group members displays.[/EDIT]
