How do I ring multiple phones on outside call (Express)?

[Chris Campbell]

Hello,

As I continue to learn CME by experimenting in my house, I am trying to create a setup where a call coming in on my line from the phone company will ring all phones in the house.  I'd also like to be able to put a call on hold from one phone and pick it up on another.

It looks like the feature best able to do this is shared lines (please correct me if I'm wrong).  Right now I can make an outgoing call from either phone, but when an incoming call happens, it only rings one of the two phones -- it seems random which one it rings.

Here's what I have right now for the configuration:

voice-port 0/1/0

 connection plar opx 2074

 caller-id enable

!

voice register dn  3

 number 2074

 name outside line

 shared-line

voice register pool  1

 busy-trigger-per-button 2

 id mac xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

 type 7821

 number 1 dn 1

 number 2 dn 3

 dtmf-relay sip-kpml

 description 4001

 codec g711ulaw

 no vad

 paging-dn 1

Looks like I just needed to rerun create-profile under voice register global and then run a restart under each phone's pool.  I just tried it and I can put a call on hold and then go resume it on another phone.  Thanks!

Glad you got it to work.
