Hello All, I have Polycom IP 500 phones which I would like to have message waiting indicators on. So far, I have my system running well but the problem I am seeing is that MWI doesn't seem to tell my phone that it should display a MWI state. The light does not show when you have message nor is there any indicator on the text lines of a message waiting. The wiki doesn't cover this enough to help me find why I do not get the notification on the phone when a message is waiting. Is tehre anyone out there with Polycom phones who has Message Waiting Indicators working with the IP 500? If so, can you tell me how you got it working, what variable to set in * or the Polycom cfg files? Thanks! W -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a patch just about ready for res_data, but I am not quite there yet. Also, if you aren't populating from a database do you have mailbox=exten@context in your voicemail.conf? Hope this helps, Robert Jackson
Just make sure you have defined the mailbox number in your sip.cfg file. example: [222] context=local type=friend host=dynamic username=222 password=p222 dtmfmode=inband defaultip=10.1.2.222 mailbox=222 That's all it took for my asterisk + IP500 setup.
