[Asterisk-Users] VM access

2004-09-06 Thread Larry Shields 



Can someone tell me 
how to get to a mailbox login prompt when accessing the Asterisk VM remotely via 
a PSTN line? I am running version CSV 8/25/04.

Thanks,
Larry

You could dedicate a PSTN line( phone number) 
for that purpose. You could put a menu system(auto-attendant style) and 
just dial 8500(demo is set for this exten to be the gateway to VM). Or if 
your operator answers, have her transfer your call to 8500.

On most VM systems you can press the * key or # key to get 
a login prompt during your greeting. Is that not possible with this 
system?

Thanks,

It is but you need to modify your dial plan to make it work.

I do it like such
[inbound] ; context that takes inbound calls and matches em and routes according
exten = 91808,1,Macro(stdexten,101,SIP/101) ; fwd
exten = 55,1,Goto(all-exten,101,1) 
; fwd goes start to my stdexten to 101 which doesn't have the options
to press * at vm
; the did goes to all-exten which has some added dialplan features to
make * work for vm

[all-exten]
exten = 0,1,Macro(stdexten,0,SIP/0)
exten = _[1-6]XX,1,SetVar(VMBX=${EXTEN})
exten = _[1-6]XX,2,NoOp(${VMBX})
exten = _[1-6]XX,3,Macro(stdexten,${EXTEN},${EXTEN})
exten = a,1,VoicemailMain(${VMBX})
exten = a,2,Hangup

the a extension is called when * is pressed while in vm . The macro
returns to the context and goes to the a extension

If you hist * during the outgoing message you'll get sent to the a
extension, if that exists in the current context.

Eg:

OPERATOR = 2121
; dump them to vm
exten = s,1,VoiceMail2(2345)
; if they enter 0
exten = o,1,Dial(OPERATOR)
; if they enter *
exten = a,1,Goto(ivr|2345|1)

Ok I think I found what I am looking for. You 
need to added two items to your configs.

; Add the following context to your extensions.conf 
(2001 is the main mailbox that allmymessages are left 
in)

[vmlogin]

exten = 
a,1,VoicemailMain(2001)exten = a,2,Hangup

exten = 
i,1,Hangupexten = t,1,Hangupexten = h,1,Hangup
; Add the following to the voicemail.conf to define 
what extensions context will handle the * key or 0 key while in the voicemail 
application.

; Exit to specified context after the 
user presses * or 0exitcontext=vmlogin


Now 
when listening to my outgoing greeting, I can press the * key and get my mailbox 
login prompt.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VM access

Larry,
I have my extensions.conf set up to wait for a * before ringing the inside phone, like 
this:
[incoming]
exten = number,1,Answer
exten = number,2,Ringing
exten = number,3,ResponseTimeout(2)
; Cover * for voicemail access
exten = *,1,VoiceMailMain(1)
; Ring IAXy after ResponseTimeout = 2 sec.
exten = t,1,Dial(IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED],20)
exten = t,2,Voicemail(u1)
This way I can dial in and hit * at the first ring to access VM without ringing the 
inside line. DISA and the like could be achieved similarly.

Brad,

I like the idea that no inside extension rings when you want to check VM
from an outside line.

Thanks,
Larry

You could add an extension to your default context that takes you to VM:
 
exten = 500,1,VoiceMailMain
exten = 500,2,Hangup

Simply include the default context in your incoming context
 
include = default
