*1.4 has a module for "advanced hints", provides states of any thing you want to put in the Asterisk database. You could use that to trigger it. On a separate note, I'm looking at writing some scripts to display other information scrolling in the display (your account balance - LesNet now has it available via http get).
On a similar note, using the Aastra coding model, there's a whole VM module that queries and displays various info as well as call playback using agi. Combining the two, I'm going to attempt put a scrolling display of various information including the non-primary voicemail off all registered phones as well as my lesnet balance. Going to take a stab at that tomorrow. (I'm assuming 5xi sets here...assume it could work on 480 units too) If you can wait, I'll post something if I get it working. D.

No matter which mailbox had new mail, the phone flashed the "main" MWI. The user could not tell which mailbox had new messages. Working on Dave's link suggestion, I made a soft link for the "Work" subfolder of each mailbox to the "shared" mailbox. This allows each user to pick up the shared messages but does not light the MWI at all. Still searching for the Holy Grail of separate mailboxes with separate MWI on the phone. Can anyone explain "hints" to me? Can they be used to convey MWI info? Or is there a way to send a SIP message to the same effect? regards, Drew David Cook wrote: Anyone got an answer for the related phone display problem on Aastra? Example, line 1=2 mgs, line 2=1 msg, line 3=0 msgs, phone display says "3 MSGS" but no notification of which line has msgs if any. This is really important when people share a physical phone. Currently the only way to find out if you have voicemail on the line is to call VM and see what it tells you. Conversely, phones like the Cisco 7060 change the line icon to an envelope. Now the owner of line 3 knows they have visual indication that they don't have vm. - dbc. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Bour [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: January-31-08 1:21 PM To: Drew Gibson; TAUG Asterisk Mailing List Subject: RE: [on-asterisk] VM Notification on Aastra phones I tried hints too in same situation..didn't get it way I wanted. What I do in this case... create extension for each phone for the "shared line", ie, lines 1,2 regular extension, line 3 is "support"...create a queue if you want with it too... but for that extension, in the voicemail folder, create one real folder, then link one for each of the shared extensions. The mwi then lights for everyone if there's a support mailbox message. They can each assign their own passowrd to pick it up too. the command to link.... ln -s xxxreal xxxextension where xxxreal is the actual real mailbox. and xxxextension is the one on each users phone. tedious, yep....a rough hack but it works.

Each user has their own personal mailbox which will light the main message light but I need to have the shared mailbox flash one of the BLF's on an Aastra 9133i or softkey on the 480i. In the past I tried setting up a separate line complete with Asterisk account but I remember Asterisk got confused over callerid. Is there a method using "hints"? I must confess that I have never been able to get my head around hints, perhaps I have yet to find a good explanation of what they are and how to use them. Has anyone made this happen and can point me in the right direction? regards, Drew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
