[asterisk-users] MWI working perfectly. Shouldn't it be broken??
I have a Sipura 962 endpoint on Asterisk 1.4 where the MWI works perfectly, however my theory is that it should be broken. Obviously I'm wrong but Sip show subscriptions does not show the endpoint subscribing to the MWI status on Asterisk, even though all of the other endpoints on the system DO subscribe for their respective mailboxes, including SNOM Polycom endpoints. I'm confused. Isn't MWI subscription the method by which the device is setting its MWI? I know that Asterisk 1.6 is moving toward an event-driven model, but I'm running 1.4.21.1, so why is this working? I know that some smart cookie on this list will know the answer, but unfortunately I am not said cookie. FYI, it's not an issue of the subscription not YET subscribing etc. If I were to restart the system and endpoints, all the subs slowly show up one by one, but the 962 never does -- even after days, weeks, and months. Yet the MWI always works perfectly from the get-go.

This is necessary for some phones for MWI to work. If you _don't_ want Asterisk to do this, you can set the subscribemwi=yes option in sip.conf. This tells Asterisk to _only_ send MWI with an associated subscription. -- Russell Bryant Senior Software Engineer Open Source Team Lead Digium, Inc. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] MWI working perfectly. Shouldn't it be broken??
I see. Thanks Russel. And I now notice that if I explicitly tell my 962 the IP address of the mail server, it will also subscribe. Do I understand correctly that we are not talking about redundant MWI status traffic here, we're ONLY talking about the notion that asterisk ignores MWI subscription status and behaves as if it has 100% MWI subscription. That is unless subscribemwi=yes is in sip.conf. Is that an accurate summary?
