I'm deploying a new sipx system as a 'favor' to a local club, and decided that since 4.6 was the latest incarnation, that I should start there, rather than face an upgrade in the future. So...
Using 4.6, I would like to be able to dump any number of extensions into one voice mailbox, rather than use individual mailboxes for each account. These extensions are rung by a hunt group, but are also reachable as individual extensions within the building. Not knowing how else to do it, I've configured a Forward in each extension to ring the extension for 20 seconds, and then if no answer forward to the common voicemail extension. Voicemail permissions have been disabled in the called extension. In testing, calling the extension directly results in routing straight to voicemail, and calling the hunt group in which the extension is listed also results in a direct dumpt to voicemail. Removing the Forward resulted in a successful ringing of the phones in either the direct or Hunt Group calls, but of course with no voicemail option. I have not tried going to an Auto Attendant as part of the final routing prior to voicemail. Additionally, within the Hunt Group testing, if any one of the extensions is not registered (a few of these are portable devices - Unidata mostly), then the Hunt Group fails and the incoming call goes straight into voicemail. If all devices in the Hunt Group are present, then the Hunt Group works normally. Is this the way it's supposed to work? As part of the troubleshooting, I started all of the services, just in case there was some dependency of which I wasn't aware, with the intent of shutting the unnecessary ones one-by-one once the the concept worked correctly. Many thanks in advance for your time and advice. Philippe
