So I can get the Left key position #5 on Obi2182 to Monitor another 2182, but the NAME does not display.
I've confirmed it is properly entered in Expert mode and in XML, but it displays:
Monitor Ext.
680123456 / remote obi number
The name does not display. I can't imagine this is how it is supposed to work?
...and after about 40 mins of working, it suddenly turned to amber X (not working) for about 30 secs and then back to idle. I confirmed the other extension was not touched.
I'm not sure I have the CallStatusAggregator down right.
According to the AdminGuide, it reads like ONE device per network will act as the aggregator and all devices would point to it, presumably with their own status.
But it wouldn't work like that. I pointed one 2182 to the 2nd one, also pointed the 2nd one to itself (maybe that is the problem?), and amber X.
When I changed the 2nd 2182 to point to the first as aggregator, the monitor started to work.
But in this second method, could only monitor ONE other extension.
I want to monitor the other extensions on each of the phones. Many reasons, including knowing if they are on the phone, intercom, etc before trying to contact them via intercom, xfer, etc
Can someone help me straighten this out?
Thanks.
PS- I tried pointing both 2182's to OBi202, but now after a minute or so the display is back to amber X (offline)
