Andrew:

The key here is try to create a way to integrate Asterisk Voicemail with existing Meridian PBX and send the MWI to M2616. I'm investigating the propietary protocol used by Nortel in the integration between Octel-Dialogic and Meridian for MWI. I believe is good idea to create an appl (and execute that appl in voicemail.conf like external application) for connect to the Meridian console port (Serial interface) and send the command to the end M2616.

So, if you have some other idea is very welcome.

Cheers.

Chris.

Aside from using a Norstar ATA connected to an FXS port on Asterisk and executing a hookflash *1, no. There isn't a really good way to do it, as that is part of what keeps you hooked into their proprietary crap.

It's the same as trying to tie in SIP phones through Asterisk to a Norstar system. I have it done through a PRI but even then Norstar sees the phones as external destinations, so I can't pick up Norstar parked calls and can't transfer calls over.

Andrew,
Is the Norstar VM integration the same as that the Meridian-1? I remember VM boxes like Octel use a Dialogic card that emulates a bunch of Nortel 2616 phones to send the MWI.

Cisco Unity also does it in a similar manner except they need to use external handset emulators like PBXLink.

Cheers.
