Poor Man's Intercom

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_configuration_example09186a00807f3301.shtml

Has anyone tried this? Any way to make it work with multiple phones simultaneously. I tried putting a different extension - 32200 through 32203 - on four (4) separate phones. I set the extension on each phone to Auto Answer with Speakerphone. I then put those phones in a Line Group with a Distribution Algorithm of Broadcast. I then set up a Hunt Pilot that points to that Line Group. When I dial the Hunt Pilot, the first phone in the group answers, the other three (3) disconnect - aka hang up - and then the phone that answered goes to a fast busy after a few seconds. If I dial the 32200 through 32203 individually, the "intercom" effect works as it should. Anyone know of a way to make this work on multiple phones simultaneously or is it just not doable. Just another of those weird thoughts that creep into this old and feeble mind now and then. I'm also thinking of writing scripts that step through extensions with pre-recorded emergency warnings like "Evacuate the building immediately", etc., so when the route point is dialed it touches every phone in the building. Anyone done anything similar. Thank You.

The hunt group is working as designed. There is now way to do what you are
doing in the current versions of CUCM.

Re: Poor Man's Intercom [In reply to]

So you're also saying that there is no method of having a script dial an extension and play a prompt when that person answers? Prompts can only be played for calls "inbound" to the script?

Thank You...

Re: Poor Man's Intercom [In reply to]

The below statement isn't exactly correct.

You could build a script with an http trigger that has a "place call step" and play a prompt in the "successful' branch.

There are some caveats though about how many out dials you can do at once.

Re: Poor Man's Intercom [In reply to]

For one phone this is entirely possible. Your original example
however included multiple phones going offhook and hearing the prompt
at the same time. When you call to a shared line or broadcast line
group only the first phone to answer will get the call. Outside of a
conference bridge all calls are one-to-one, not one-to-many.

What you are talking about with multiple phones is the same as a
broadcast page. You will be better off sending on a multicast source
and using the XML SDK to trigger the phones to listen to the multicast
stream. As someone else pointed out there are limitations to how
many outbound calls you can make at a time. Alternatively you could
start a Meetme conference from the IVR (maybe?) and use CTI control
of the phones to make them dial into the conference.
