Hi,
I have a Siemens Gigaset DECT base connected to a Sipura SPA3000.
The Message Waiting indicator on the handset works fine in this
configuration.
(I've used both the S100 and SL100 phones / bases, the operation is
identical.)
The illuminating Message button on the handset can also be configured to
dial *97 so it's a single press if you have voicemail waiting.
One 'gotcha' with the SPA3000 (and probably other similar devices) is that
by default it internally recognises *nn codes and these all need clearing to
allow Asterisk to handle everything.
You also may need the latest V3 firmware (even on V2 hardware) especially if
you want to use the FXO port as an asterisk trunk.
I assume the other Sipura / Linksys devices will have similar features. I've
got a SPA2100 dual FXS unit, but I've not got that in use at the moment. I
think MWI worked on that but I can't be 100% sure.
For the last week I've also been using a Nokia E65 as a WiFi/SIP handset.
I'm still experimenting with the overall system setup, but so far this seems
to work fine - one handset for both fixed line mobile calls.
Robert.

Subject: [asterisk-users] DECT to SIP gateway experiences
G'day. I hope this isn't off-topic for the list.
I am looking at an Asterisk setup that includes cordless
phones. The three choices I can see, at this stage, are:
* wifi phones
* an ATA and a cordless analog phone
* a DECT to SIP basestation
The various wifi phone options don't grab us as suitable --
they are costly, have poor battery life and even the best
have pretty mixed reviews. They just don't, at least in
Australia, compare well to the non-wifi options.
I know a lot of people have success with an ATA and a
standard analog cordless phone. We figure that is the fallback, but:
It seems to me that a direct SIP to DECT gateway could have
significant advantages in terms of supporting the MWI
(voicemail) indicator on the DECT phone directly -- there
just isn't any way I could trigger it on any of the analog
sets I have at the moment.
Unfortunately I can't local any information on this; the
documentation for the Zyxel DECT gateways and Siemens Gigaset
DECT bases don't say
*anything* about their supporting MWI hardware from a SIP server.
The other killer feature that a DECT base could theoretically
offer is some sort of soft menu system -- ADSI, XML, or whatever.
That would make for extremely nice integration with the
CallerID database in Asterisk, voicemail, etc.
So, can anyone comment on support for MWI in the SIP DECT gateways?
How about soft menu support?
Regards,
Daniel
