asterisk users - Aug 2004 - First Post: Any existing AVAYA Switch -> Asterisk Voicemail configs?

This is my first post, so please feel free to direct me to another list
if needed.

 

I am in the early stages of researching Asterisk.  I administer a small
Avaya Definity G3 switch (~400 users).

 

Can anyone point my to resources/documents/actual implementation notes
of using Asterisk's voicemail with an Avaya Definity switch? 

 

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Brian Hudson

Nope, this list is appropriate. There is some startup reading to do, however
:-)

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Avaya might get you started.

www.voip-info.org is a very nice resource to check before posing a question
in almost any case :-)

Hope it helps!

Yes, check the Wiki, I believe there are some Avaya notes in there
that speak of the Definity. http://www.voip-info.org. Do a search for
Avaya, or definity and that should direct you to at least some
information.

As far as integration with Voicemail, that is something I am currently
battling with a Merlin Magix switch. I don't believe it can be done,
at least with the signalling to light up the phones when a message
comes in. This seems to be a proprietary signalling between the Avaya
messaging card and the rest of the system. Good luck, and let us all
know if you figure anything out!

Hey Brian, my name is Brian too. I too administer a Definity.

I use Asterisk for personal use, but to use Comedian Mail with
Asterisk should be about the same as using anything else like Intuity
Audix.

Create your hunt group in the Definity, and then assign how ever many
analog ports you want, like for the Intuity we use 8 ports. I assume
you would have to use zap analog cards in the Asterisk server. Then,
from the Definity just plug your analog extensions into your zap ports
and then configure Asterisk to send all zap calls to the extension you
define for voicemail.

Give your users the extenion of the hunt group, and then the Definity
will dial first available zap extension.

I think you would need FXO cards in your asterisk box, but someone
else should confirm that.
