Dear Sir/ Madam,

My client is using Asterisk based telephony system. He has 300 concurrent users with two PRI Channels.

He is requesting to add the intercom feature in his phones. Can you assist me please doing that?

I would appreciate your kind responds.


Best Wishes,

Dear JG,

Thank you for following up with me.

Kindly note that I asked about the capability of the phones and now I am
asking about the way I can do it to my client's phones, because he is asking
for a demonstration.

Yet you’ve not even told us the phones in use. You can’t just expect a mailing list to do your work for you. You need to look at the handsets and see what they support, and how they support it. You don’t even say if the handsets are SIP or not, the PSTN connectivity is pretty irrelevant.

Then this may be the wrong forum. Intercom is also a bit vague---there are a couple of different
options. Have a look at: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Paging+and+Intercom

You might just have to set the auto-answer feature of a phone, but this would be phone specific.

JG confirmed that "it" is possible, but "it" has not been defined.

Without knowing what kind of instruments you are using, a possible "it"
would be for a party to dial a 4-digit extension number to talk to someone
internally, completing a call without using the PRI trunks.

Indeed, "it" is rather vague.
The intercom I came across the last couple of decades, were simple
analogue-phones, without a dial-pad, with only one button.
If you lift the receiver and press that single button, you'll ring the
other phone. And vice-versa.

That sounds do-able, for any kind of phone connected to Asterisk.
With a wildcard in the dialplan, you can create an truly "any-key" Smile

But the O.P. might expect something else

Dear Mr. Adam,

Thank you for you kind words and for judging me.

I am a system integrator and I have a whale clients in UAE , I will not proceed further in dealing with Asterisk because of the lack of support and because of the rude emails.

I have no idea what is wrong with you people. And I hope you get well soon from whatever is happening to you.

I suggest that your question amounts to "please do my homework for me." This may be understandable given that you are a recent grad and probably don't have much experience in business communication and/or Asterisk complexities.

You cannot expect a mailing list to rush to answer vague, unanswerable questions -- nor emails that don't show that you've tried to answer the question first.

Consider, if I asked:

"I don't understand how to set up Asterisk. Can someone tell me how to do that?"
vs.

"I have a Dell R210-II with 32g of memory and two gigabit ethernet interfaces, I've installed Asterisk from the FreePBX Distro v9.99 and have an assortment of Polycom and Snom IP phones. I've configured paging as described in http://wiki.snom.com/Interoperability/PBX/Asterisk and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Page, and it is working for the Snom phones but not the Polycom phones. Can someone point me at what it's going to take to make the Polycom phones work?"

I’d expect to get attempts at an answer to the second one, but would expect snide and rude comments (at best) to the first one.

This is free software supported by volunteers who are helping you because somewhere in the past someone helped them or perhaps they were just brought up properly.

No one really cares about how many clients you may have. No one here will make any money from that.

Have you read the free books on Asterisk?
Have you at least followed the installation instructions to some point where you are stuck.

I don't see where you have explained what you want to do with the PBX once you have it set up. There are a lot of different applications possible - Small office, enterprise with many branches, call center with thousands of incoming or outgoing calls, etc.

Have you looked at what phones you want to support - brand, features?

Have you selected a type of trunk that your telephone company offers? Do they have a document describing how to interface an Asterisk PBX to their trunks?

What were you expecting a total stranger to do for you when you asked your question?
If you want to hire a consultant to set up your first few clients and train you, than you should say so.
Free advice comes in many forms but there is a limit about how much free time each one of us has and you will get different people helping you depending on the question that you ask. We are not all experts at everything. Most of us are people like you or end-users who are supporting their own company's phone system.

Although you may have found them rude and unhelpful, I think most of the responses had a common theme—we need more information about what you have and what you want to do before we can help at all.

I have no idea what is wrong with you people. And I hope you get well soon from whatever is happening to you.

I suggest that your question amounts to "please do my homework for me." This may be understandable given that you are a recent grad and probably don't have much experience in business communication and/or Asterisk complexities.

You cannot expect a mailing list to rush to answer vague, unanswerable questions -- nor emails that don't show that you've tried to answer the question first.

Consider, if I asked:

"I don't understand how to set up Asterisk. Can someone tell me how to do that?"
vs.

"I have a Dell R210-II with 32g of memory and two gigabit ethernet interfaces, I've installed Asterisk from the FreePBX Distro v9.99 and have an assortment of Polycom and Snom IP phones. I've configured paging as described in http://wiki.snom.com/Interoperability/PBX/Asterisk and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Page, and it is working for the Snom phones but not the Polycom phones. Can someone point me at what it's going to take to make the Polycom phones work?"

I’d expect to get attempts at an answer to the second one, but would expect snide and rude comments (at best) to the first one.

JG confirmed that "it" is possible, but "it" has not been defined.

Without knowing what kind of instruments you are using, a possible "it"
would be for a party to dial a 4-digit extension number to talk to someone internally, completing a call without using the PRI trunks.

Dear Mr. Mitual,

Kindly check the attached mail where Mr. JG confirmed to me that is possible and I already informed my client of that.


Dear Mr. Steve,

I am not expecting a mailing list to do any work for me. All I was asking is for you to guide me because this is the first time we deal with Asterisk phones.

Yet you've not even told us the phones in use. You can't just expect a mailing list to do your work for you. You need to look at the handsets and see what they support, and how they support it. You don't even say if the handsets are SIP or not, the PSTN connectivity is pretty irrelevant.

You are misjudging this community.

It is staffed by volunteers. Their range of experience and knowledge range
from rank novices to experts that you couldn't afford to hire. They do it
out of the kindness of their hearts and because they have been helped in
the past.

I've been on this list for about 10 years and continue to be amazed at the
knowledge and ingenuity exchanged for 'free.'

People are more likely to help if you include sufficient information and
demonstrate that you have at least tried to resolve your issue. Nobody is
interested in doing your work (be it homework or work-work) for you.

Be thankful there are no 'Carl J. Lydick's on this list. He was a
brilliant VMS programmer back in the day. If you asked an intelligent
question, you would get an amazing answer. If you asked a stupid question
or indicated you had not invested any effort, you might receive an
obfuscated command that would erase your disks if you were to ignorantly
'cut-n-paste' the command.

Asterisk is a fantastic product. It is like a Lego or Erector set. You
have all the bits. It is up to you to fulfill the vision in your head.

If you are looking for paid support or a canned solution, it is available.
You just looked in the wrong place.

Maybe it's just a 'cultural misunderstanding.'

Hey Danni,
Having whale client means you ought to ask for paid consulting in first place.
People over here have already told you that Analog phones are not capable of doing paging.
Also so far you haven't indicated what model n which asterisk system your client has. These are the most crucial elements to get desired answers. Do some of these work before asking for help here (we all term these as homework ) or have a paid consultant who would do the needful.
Hope this should set the tone right.

After a couple of off-list exchanges, I suspect (no facts) the situation
is this:

She was sold an Asterisk system for one of her clients from an
unscrupulous vendor. When she asked the vendor for support, she was told
'we' (the mailing list) ARE her support.

Thus, it was not entirely unreasonable for her to assume that the support
she had paid for would be familiar with her configuration and would be
eager to provide service since "As vendors you are supposed to be
interested to expand your business area and as I told you we have a huge
database of clients that need such products..." (Actual quote.)

I chalk up the 'rude and non-professional' accusations as 'unmet
expectations' and 'cultural differences.'

Again, no facts in evidence, just my interpretation from the off-list
exchanges. My apologies in advance if I've misinterpreted the situation.

I've copied the parties to the off-list exchanges in case they would care
to clarify my assumptions.
