We had a Centigram solution. The data circuit, or more commonly a serial link, is used to signal the which analog line is about to receive a call and why (No answer, Busy, direct, etc).
Without the serial connection, or if the lines were plugged in a different order than they were identified in the Centigram software, calls ended up in the main greeting instead of the mailbox they were intended for.

Get a channel bank (or better yet, just get a T1 from the ILEC) and a Digium card. Configuring voicemail and extensions is pretty easy, just look at voicemail.conf. The only puzzling part is the data feed... what's it for, determining which line is ringing which voicemail box? If so, perhaps it can be converted to DNIS on the T1? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
