Hello

Whenever I receive voicemail on CISCO or SNOM or Analog Phones (Scitec), I would
like to have some kind of indication in terms of beep sound or blinking
voicemail indicator....Could you please tell me the way to enable this feature
through Asterisk.

Regards
Tony

Hi Tony,

	this is called Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) in asterisk.  I
haven't set it up myself,
but from what I've seen there are a few parts:

1) setting a mailbox=1234 etc. in the extension definition in the channel
file
2) setting up the phone

Have a look around the wiki
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=SIP%20mwi

It says CISCO works http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+phone+cisco+79xx
and ADSI, and grandstream,
I assume SNOM can, it's just not documented on the wiki yet, maybe you can
contribute that :-)

Cheers,
Woody
