Hi,

I'm currently evaluating FreeSWITCH to see if I can migrate to it from
Asterisk (which gives me now all functions I need, but has some problems
with predictability). I need only one atypical functionality:
1. we have one main extension, which clients call. lets name it 5555
2. when someone calls 5555, then immediately rings only one
phone (1001) and 15 seconds later 3 more phones (1002-1004). phone
1001 should be dialled once per call to 5555
3. all phones (1000-1010) have BLF monitoring 5555, so anyone can
pick it up when someone calls it

ad 3. it is acceptable that all phones monitor 1001 instead of 5555 to
pick up connection to 5555

After reading and googling about possible implementation in FS for few
hours I couldn't find anything useful.

Could you tell if it is possible to implement in FS without artificial
limbs (i dunno if it's best English word for what I mean like I had
to do in Asterisk?

greetings,
Seweryn

Seweryn,

Which phone(s) are you using? FS does BLF very well with Snom, Grandstream, and Linksys. Also, the dialing scenario you mention is actually very easily handled with FreeSWITCH. The devs are very clever and they set up a dialing syntax mechanism that allows one to do all sorts of unique and even exotic dialing setups.

Do you have a spare Linux machine and a few phones that you can do some testing with? That would be the ideal way to get started quickly. If you do have a Linux machine then the quickest way to get FS running is to do this:

Just remember one thing: FreeSWITCH is quite different from Asterisk, so there is a bit of a learning curve, but it's totally worth it.

The default config demo's this.. its using the db app to store the
UUID and the intercept app to pickup the call.

The tip I can give you here is you have to set the
"presence_id=5555@domain" on a session so 1. the events are fired for
that... and 2. you actually get the BLF for 5555 The presence ID
will allow you to set arbitrary things you can then subscribe to on
the phone.
