I was going to setup my extension on my employee's phone so he could answer calls as well as myself. I noticed that once he registered, I could no longer receive calls on my own phone. Is this a limitation of Realtime or something else in Asterisk? I've had multiple devices register to the same definition somewhere else before in Asterisk.

If I can't do it that way, I'm thinking of having his phone register as some other, new extension (in addition to himself) and just have calls to my extension ring that new extension as well. I'd also have that new extension's voicemail point to my box, therefore he can check my voicemails as well. He has a Cisco 7960 and currently all voicemails (whether you enter sales, support, etc.) all dump into my box. Perhaps I'll divide that up as well to take advantage of the 6 lines on his phone.

Comments or alternative suggestions?

As far as i know you cant have two devices register to the same
extension. We use XXXX-1 XXX-2 and so on if their is a need for the same
number to be on multiple phones. Now if you just want the calls to ring
his phone then all you have to do is just add his extension to the Dial
statement in extensions. Thats assuming that he already has an existing
registration on his phone that does not duplicate yours.
