[Asterisk-Users] Sending DTMF after recording new voicemail
I'm trying to use Asterisk for its voicemail capabilities while interfacing with a legacy Toshiba PBX. Is there a way to have Asterisk send a DTMF code to an extension to turn on the message waiting indicator light? When a user leaves a voicemail, I want Asterisk to pick up one of the lines attached to it, and then dial #63<ext>, which is what sets the message waiting indicator light in the Toshiba system. Conversely, I'd like to be able to turn off the lamp by sending a different set of digits to the extension when there are no new voicemails. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

> Does the Toshiba have a SMDI (Simple Message Desk) interface? Is iton a serial port?> MWIt has the ability for SMDI, but there are no available card slots in the system b/c it is at capacity. We are moving over to Asterisk in stages and this is the first part. Does Asterisk have SMDI support built in or has someone written a module for it? Thanks, Andrew

I dont know if it will work or not but have you tried something like this? I am
sure there has to be a way to do it.
exten => 1001,1,VoiceMail2,u1001
exten => 1001,2,Dial(ZAP/#631001,5)
or maybe somehow you can use the pager section in voicemail.conf

You can use the externnotify feature of voice mail to create a call file when a voice mail is left or retrieved. This can in turn be used to turn on or off the message lamp. I use the externnotify feature to execute an application that I wrote in freepascal to send sip notification messages to an external system.

Umar, Thanks for the response. I think I understand how externnotify can be used to create a call file. But, I don't see how that this can be used for turning off MWI after messages have been viewed. Do you have an example of how you accomplished this that you'd be willing to share?
