Multiple Phones On Same PJSIP Account

I am creating a dialplan where a single user (Alice) has two offices. Both of her phones should ring if her extension is called.

I could use a ring group, but I’m wondering can both phones use the same PJSIP extension account (username/secret)?

Thanks

  • On my home Asterisk, I have created a home queue and made both of my phones a member. The first phone that picks up get that call.

  • Yes. This is one of the major advantages to using PJSIP instead of chan_sip.

    (Other than the quality of the code and whether it’s maintained.)

  • That begs another interesting question…with analog phones picking up two extensions on the same “line” allow multiple people to participate on the call (without a “conference” feature)

    Does this become possible with multiple phones on the same PJSIP account? Or would the first phone answered need to somehow conference in the other phone?

  • Ok I’ve got multiple phone sets registered with the same extension/secret.

    However, this causes a strange problem. If I have 3 phone sets registered on extension 123, and I then call extension 123 (from extension 456), only a SINGLE phone set will ring.

    Is this by design or a bug? Does only the most recently registered phone set ring when I call the extension? Seems odd…is there a way to change it so ALL phones on the same extension will ring? (I’m using SNOM + PANASONIC + Aastra phones)

    Thanks Brian

  • What values do you have for “max_contacts” and “replace_existing” in pjsip.conf?

  •     Are you using PJSIP_DIAL_CONTACTS in your dialplan?  You need to use that in the Dial command and not just PJSIP/XXX for all extensions to ring.

  • Thanks was it! Upping max_contacts to 5 solved it.
