Greetings all, Has anyone managed to get dialplan status hints working across multiple servers? I've separated a load of SIP users out across 2 servers today, but it'd be useful if they could still see each others' status. I've replaced the various hint lines for the sip devices now on another box with: exten => 210,hint,IAX2/otherserver/210 Where 210 is defined on the other server as follows: exten => 210,hint,SIP/210 All of them report state as unavailable when doing a "show hints" in the dialplan. Have I got the syntax wrong, or is this something that's not meant to work in the first place? Thanks in advance. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

You should be able to throw an OpenSER box in between the two Asterisk systems, and with a bit of configuration get it working. We do something similar, except the SER box sits between the phones and Asterisk. It passes the SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY messages backwards and forwards between the two.

At this point, IAX2 does not support any device status reports at all, as far as I know. I know that Alan implemented something in Firefly a while ago for it. We could implement this in SIP, by forcing an outbound subscription, but if all the servers are Asterisk servers there has to be more simple ways to solve this as well as cross-server voicemail notification. /O
