multiple Line keys and/or way to have extension ringing via BLF to make sounds

[Leon Zetekoff]

Hi there...

When can we have multiple LINE accounts on the PBX? We are using GS phones and under Freepbx we were able to have multiple SIP accounts provision on our phones. This is a small synagogue that has multiple locations and extensions for each location.

In lieu of this, as a bandaid, is there a way if a BLF extension is ringing to have the phone play ringing sound as long as it's not off hook? Or is there some other way to accomplish this? Being able to see the inbound callerid would be a plus too.

GS GXP2135 and GXP2170 being used.

Thanks leon

this goes back to the discussion a few months ago about shared call appearance. is there any status on that?

Actually you can have multiple lines but you need to customize your templates.
And yes, this is really painful to do, especially if you have differents "multilines" for each phone.
one phone = one template.

Don't really know Grandstream but i think this is the same as Yealink.
You can copy paste the settings for the first account and make a account 2,3,4 etc...

<!--  Account Settings  -->
   
    <!--  Account 1 -->
   
    <!-- Account 1/General Settings -->
   
    <!-- Account Active. 0 - No, 1 - Yes. Default is 1 -->
    <!-- Number: 0, 1 -->
    <!-- Mandatory -->
    <P271>1</P271>
