asterisk users - May 2004 - asterisk voicemail retrieval using a cisco 7940

can anyone give me a reference to the retrieval of voicemail from the
Asterisk PBX using a cisco 7940 phine running sip image.

i have configured a single voicemail box using the script, the corresponding
entry in voicemail.conf and configured the extension to use the voicemail
box .

i can see from the asterisk console the message being passed to the voice
mailbox, and correspondingly the sip phone indicates voicemail by the
flashing red on the handset and the envelope on its console

it would seem further configuration work is required to access the voice
mailbox

TIA

Graham,

You need to configure something in extensions.conf to access voicemail. 
I usually use something like this:

exten => 8500,1,VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 8500,2,Congestion

Then you'll want to configure the voicemail URI on the 7940 so that it 
calls extension 8500.

One nice thing about the Cisco phone is that they will keep track of WMI 
separately for each configured line.

exten => 123,1,VoiceMailMain

Then dial 123 or what ever you wanna call it.
