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.

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

Freeswitch is so much better than my customers deserve.
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).
Thanks in advance,
Sean
