The message waiting options seem to be geared for a normal office environment where there is a one-to-one relationship between a user and a phone/mailbox. I want to have a mailbox that is shared amoung a number of people and want the message waiting light to turn on on multiple phones. I can direct the voice mail to the common mail box. I can direct the individual users to the common mail box. I can light the message waiting light on the associated phone. I can not figure out how to light the message wating light on the rest of the phones. ..don support@microtechniques.com White Plains, NY
use 1 of the broadcast mail patches on bugs.digium.com so when a msg for a shared box comes in it is copied to all the priv boxes associated w/ that group so the mwi on all those phones goes on as well On Sat, 07 Aug 2004 13:32:30 -0400, Don Hughes <support@microtechniques.com> wrote:> The message waiting options seem to be geared for a normal office > environment where there is a one-to-one relationship between a > user and a phone/mailbox. > > I want to have a mailbox that is shared amoung a number of people > and want the message waiting light to turn on on multiple phones. > > I can direct the voice mail to the common mail box. > I can direct the individual users to the common mail box. > I can light the message waiting light on the associated phone. > > I can not figure out how to light the message wating light on the > rest of the phones. > > ...don > > support@microtechniques.com > White Plains, NY > > _______________________________________________ > 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 >
Don, I have the same situation at home. I have a shared mailbox (500), and each of my other two SIP phones have their own. I wanted the MWI to light up for either the individual or shared mailbox. I didn't want to use broadcasting, since I wanted the message to "clear" when either of us listened to it. In your sip.conf (or Zapata.conf if using analog sets) use the mailbox= line to set MWI. You can specify multiple mailboxes to monitor. Here's a snippet of my sip.conf for one of my phones: [550] type=friend host=dynamic context = default username=550 secret=xxxxxxxxxx nat=no canreinvite=no mailbox=500,550 This will light the MWI if new messages exist in either mailbox 500 or 550. -Reid -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Don Hughes Sent: Saturday, August 07, 2004 1:33 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Message waiting The message waiting options seem to be geared for a normal office environment where there is a one-to-one relationship between a user and a phone/mailbox.

Our message waiting stopped working on all of our polycom phones. I have tested one of the phones on a different server and it work fine. The main server that we just went into production with does not send the message waiting info. There is no light or number of messages showing. How can I trouble shoot this?
