HI Brian, This too is an excellent option for implementing the switch over and I will probably do it. However, nothing trumps a big red line button lit (red) when the phones are forwarded. Does anyone know how to send a PRESENCE event in an XML dialplan? Anthony's Book's example looks so sweet, but it is from a socket. http://books.google.com/books?id=-6nzkugPG70C <http://books.google.com/books?id=-6nzkugPG70C&pg=PT540&lpg=PT540&dq=freeswi tch+event+turn+lights&source=bl&ots=4-5IfOJ3rF&sig=BsSDSKva7FKfzZ0w2HFeWJQ5_ ek&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2S7iT639OYTS6gG2v-0H&sqi=2&ved=0CFEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=free switch%20event%20turn%20lights&f=false> &pg=PT540&lpg=PT540&dq=freeswitch+event+turn+lights&source=bl&ots=4-5IfOJ3rF &sig=BsSDSKva7FKfzZ0w2HFeWJQ5_ek&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2S7iT639OYTS6gG2v-0H&sqi=2&ve d=0CFEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=freeswitch%20event%20turn%20lights&f=false Sean From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Brian Foster Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 4:52 PM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Users need a red flashy light thingy Or have your magic extension forward to an IVR, tells her the current status, press one to enable, press 2 to disable, then confirm it instead of two different numbers Brian Foster Endigo Computer LLC Sent from a mobile device.

I have the DialPlan set up nicely so they can dial *72 to forward all DID calls to their answering service and *73 to turn it off. Today she Dialed *72 to turn it off 4 different times, and since that is the code to turn it on --- it did NOT turn off. She was livid and sent me hate mail about how "terrible IP phones are and they never work ." I even consoled her saying how *72 and *73 have no inherent indicators to show which means on and off. I have offered the obvious solutions of SPEED DIAL buttons that are labeled "Enable" and "Disable". Now my question. Anyone have any ideas how to use a line button, or possibly MWI to indicate that lines are forwarded (a db value). MWI is clearly in use so line button is my preference, but if MWI had a flash function, etc???? I have unused line buttons - How can I make them show busy (like shared call appearance) from the switch? Maybe a dummy user/extension I do something clever with? If it matters the phones are Cisco 504G (4 line).
