[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream Flashing (different issue)
OK, this is a different flashing issue than the one that's being talked about. I have a few of these phones (GrandStream 101) and when a voicemail is received the light on the LED starts blinking and the dial tine stutters, this is cool. BUT..... How the **** do I get it to stop, I have had mine covered with paper for the last 2 days because the blinking LED panel is driving me nuts. I have received the messages in my email and looked at them on the web. I am thinking that I have to check them by calling into the Asterisk system and mark them as read or something in order for this to quite. Two problems, I don't know how to check them by phone just yet and I will likely never check them by phone. Any thoughts?

I've noticed a similar problem. I've got an inline caller-id box that shows message waiting and an analog phone that shows the number of new and old messages. They both continue to show message waiting even after I've listened to and deleted the messages. So it looks like Asterisk isn't clearing the message waiting light. That would explain why your GrandStream is flashing as well. - |Daryll

If you do not want to use this very useful feature you can just remove the files in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/*/INBOX/ -- Dave Cotton <dcotton@linuxautrement.com>

[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream Flashing (different issue)
If your users only want to receive voice messages in email then you could set the delete flag to yes in the voicemail.conf file. If set to "yes" the message will be deleted from the voicemailbox (after having been emailed). The delete flag, when used alone (instead of with voicemail broadcast), provides functionality that allows a user to receive their voicemail via email alone. I would think this would prevent the MWI on your phone from turning on, but have not personally tried it. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Todd Routhier - Lightwave Technologies, LLC.

It doesn't matter how you delete the message either. You can use the * phone interface or simply delete the files associated with the message. As soon as the files are gone from the INBOX, * sends a SIP command to the phone to turn off the MWI. As long as there are any active messages in the INBOX, the light stays on. If you would like to be a guinea pig for my VB program that allows you to manage your mail folders and messages from a Windows GUI, I'll send you a copy. The only caveat is that I haven't yet found a way to get perfect synchronization with file access to the mail store. The user needs to be careful not to modify the INBOX while * is taking a new message. For me this is usually not a problem, since I would never be not answering the phone when I am listening to/moving/deleting messages - as a result, * would never be writing a new message when I was using the VB program. The program requires the VB6 runtime (available from MS for free) and that you have SAMBA running on the * server. Sincerely, Stephen R. Besch
