Hotline/Warmline, also known as Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR), is a line used for priority telephone service. When using with a SIP phone you must make sure the phone supports this feature. As of this writing I know that Polycom SIP phones support sending a signal to Asterisk upon the offhook event.

Cisco ATA 186 + Asterisk
The Cisco ATA 18X series can run either SCCP, H323 or SIP voice protocols making it very flexible.
Another note of importance is that they do not support two ports running the G.729 codec simultaneously. If one port is using G.729, the other will use G.711. In this manual we are using a SIP firmware (ata_03_02_04_sccp_090202_a). If you want to update to other firmwares or perhaps protocols, I suggest you read the last 2 linksĀ provided in the resources section.
