How to broadcast a call with CME

Here’s how to broadcast a call with Cisco Callmanager Express. You will need to use the overlay DN functionality. In this case we want to broadcast calls to DN 100 on two phones.

First, you define 2 ephone-dn’s with the number you want to broadcast calls for:

ephone-dn 98 dual-line
number 100
huntstop channel
no huntstop
!
ephone-dn 99 dual-line
number 100
preference 1
huntstop channel
!

Then, you use the overlay feature to add multiple ephone-dn’s to 1 button on the ephone’s:

ephone 101
button 1o101,98,99
!
ephone 102
button 1o102,98,99
!

This has been tested and approved on CCME 4.0(3).
