Hi all. I am new to the list and new to asterisk. I have asterisk installed and running. I am using it as a voicemail server only. What I would like to do is send users to a general mailbox that will be addressed as <companyname>@asterisk and give them the option to wait for the tone and leave a message, or press 9 to dial by name. My questions are: 1. What is the best way to do this? Right now I have incoming SIP calls going to a context called [From_SER]. My config looks like this: [From_SER] include => MailBox include => ACMEInc exten => 1,1,Goto(${EXTEN},s,1) [MailBox] exten => _XXXX,1,Wait(2) exten => _XXXX,2,Voicemail(u${EXTEN}) [ACMEInc] exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,DigitTimeout,5 exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout,10 exten => s,4,Voicemail(${EXTEN}) exten => 9,1,Directory(${EXTEN}) It seems to me like this should work, but I never reach the ACMEInc voice mailbox. If I address a mailbox number like <sip:1234@asterisk> it takes me right in based on the _XXXX dial pllan so I know I have a working system. 2. Once I am in the ACMEInc mailbox, if I dial 9 to reach the directory, it doesn't do the transfer. How can I set some kind of global paramater that says if I dial 9, go to Directory(${EXTEN}) ? Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Dan Poulsen
How is the user going to know about the 9 if you don't tell them via a voice prompt? This is how I do it. I drop incoming calls into lcrmainmenu and if they press a 1 during the first background, they will drop into the second menu which gives the company directory and if they fail to press a key, they drop into the general vm box. One note, once you go to Voicemail, this menu is history and the keypresses that apply to Voicemail apply and not those showen here(or in your case 9).
