      That's just a ring group with a direct dial button assigned. Nothing weird at all.

        They have a Nortel BCM400 right now. Thus the reason to consider new phones.

        That was the reason to consider new phones in 1999.

          Is there a way to have it ring different than a normal call coming in to the ring group?

            Most certainly, you can configure a ring group with a custom ring.

            Of course, the phone in this room will be ringing. So it might upset the creeper more.

              Exactly this would not be a silent alarm or panic button this would just be your phone suddenly calling a bunch of other phones

                Sure, just set a different ring for that number.

                  So from this topic here you might be able to add one of these to dial the ring group.

                  Not sure how exactly... still investigating. This would remove the ring-back, and possible still call the group or send a message.

                  So might be worth a look...

                    Ah... I see what these devices can do, they can send an SMS message among other business integrations.

                    So just hide it under a desk or somewhere not so obvious and you'd have a "panic" button.

                      Very much NOT this. This would be immediately known to everyone in the room as the phone would begin ringing. Said person causing the uncomfortableness would then know something has happened and could turn violent or some or suicidal or who knows.

                      This type of situation requires a SILENT event to happen in the room.

                      With FreePBX and a Yealink phone I would build a button to use use the API in Asterisk.

                      I have never been tasked to set this up so it is untested by me.

                      1. make sure you can do a dial via URL on your PBX
                        • Here is an old Elastix example: http://striker24x7.blogspot.com/2012/08/click-to-dial-or-php-api-to-dial-from.html
                      2. setup an XML XML Brower with a click to dial as the target

                        I'm not saying it is a good idea, but his request was for a bunch of phones to start ringing.

                          Might be some distance away, wouldn't necessarily be audible in the patient room.

                            No. When you push a speed dial on your phone , you immediately hear ringing locally on the speaker phone.

                                  That's a cool project, but not really practical for this job.

                                    Nortel has a feature they call "voicecall" where when you press voicecall and then dial an extension, it calls the other extension, beeps once, and immediately puts their phone on speaker phone. If a feature like this were available, that would work because the person on the other end of the line would immediately be able to hear what is going on in the room.

                                    As for the beep, I have heard rumors that the beep can be disabled. I have heard that car dealers disable the beep. Then when they leave you in their office to "talk to their manager" they go to the manager's office and then voicecall their phone. voila - they can now hear your conversation and if you were to search for a bug, you wouldn't find it because it's right in front of you.
