I was asked to help with creating an alert system in the case someone is threatening our receptionist. Our front desk is on the first floor of our building and our offices are located on the second. If someone comes in and is threatening the receptionist we want the ability to alert the people on the second floor. The first thing that came to my mind is using the paging and intercom app. When our receptionist calls the paging number there is a beep heard on their phone. Since this will be used in an emergency situation having the receptionist's phone beep is not a good idea. Is there a way to stop the beep on the dialer's phone? We are using Snom 760s. Is there a better way to do what we are looking for?
The second part to this is we are looking at having two options, the receptionist needs help and a warning that something is happening but not to come downstairs. I know the paging and intercom app can play an announcement after the phone's auto answer but this setting is setup in the general section of the app so I can only setup one announcement that is played regardless of what paging extension is dialed. Is there some way to setup an extension that will page a list of phones and play a specific announcement?
I don't know how to get the version of our FreePBX system but our core is running version 2.11.0.1 and we have the Paging and Intercom version 2.11.0.8 installed.
