I have finally set correctly the Message Wait Indicator feature on my
Grandstream (I was using the wrong context - I thought the documentation
referred to the {mailbox=210@Context} extension context not the
voicemail context).
Voicemail.conf
[internalvoicemail]
20 => 1111,dean,dean@cogs.net,,attach=yes
30 => 2222,jodie,jodie@cogs.net,,attach=yes
Sip.conf
[20] ; Deans extension
type=friend ; This device takes and makes
calls
username=20 ; Username on device
secret=password ; Password for device
host=dynamic ; This host is not on the same
IP addr every time
context=from-internal ; Inbound calls from this host go
here
mailbox=20@internalvoicemail ; Activate the message waiting light if
this voicemailbox has messages in it
Anyway happy it's all working, but when a voicemail message is left and
MWI kicks in, the whole LCD display on the Grandstream flickers on and
off not just the message wait light.
Not that this is a problem but is there some way to make it that the
message light only flickers on and off.
Cheers,
Dean

The flashing display IS the message waiting light, from what I can tell.

[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream message light button

The only lights on the unit are the LCD backlights and the four red ones around the "5" key. My complaint is that, it would not have changed the cost much to have the LEDs designed better. Light the buttons, not the four trying to come through the case, and flash the message button, not the LCD screen. -- END OF LINE -MCP
Lol - that's actually quite funny, they could have reduced the cost by removing the message button. Like I said, works fine with the whole display flickering on and off, thanks for your input-just thought I was missing something, maybe it's there for future development.

Wow I never knew that was what that space was for. I just set it up then and works great. I always thought it was for 3rd party voicemail systems not realising if I put in the asterisk voicemail extension it works straight away. You learn something new every day. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Robert Hajime Lanning Sent: Tuesday, 25 May 2004 9:21 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream message light button <quote who="Dean Collins">> Lol - that's actually quite funny, they could have reduced the cost by > removing the message button.Well, the message button itself does work. You can program the extension it dials, from the web interface. -- END OF LINE -MCP _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
