I tried to use message waiting indicator, by "Subscribe for MWI" in the web menu of the phone. However, it does not light up / flash, even if a voice mail is waiting. Where is the switch to turn it to? bye Ronald
you need to set 'mailbox=extention' in the sip phone's context in sip.conf....

Ronald, it's the context listed in voicemail.conf (I got caught on this as well) I really wish Asterisk was better documented; it's bullshit the way it stands at the moment.

Brian, Whilst I don't have the technical skills to document Asterisk I do have the money to fund it. I offered a bounty of $200 for someone to write a 1 page 'how to' document to install AMP (since rescinded). I only had 3 people ever contact me and no one actually followed through with the documentation even though 2 people said they would work on it over the weekend (approx 2 months ago now). In addition I currently have a $2,000 bounty for a video version of Meetme and haven't had a single person even reply to take up the challenge. How much more encouragement do you need?

The point is that the message waiting indicator doesn't light up, at all, ever. All that happens when messages are waiting is that the display blinks and the phone gives a stutter dialtone. That's it. There is no light under the button - there should be, but there isn't. The "blinking" phone designers should have put those stupid blinking red leds - that only flash on boot up - under the message button and flashed the display during boot up. But they didn't and we're stuck with it. Such is life. Stephen R. Besch

In my >extensions.conf file - the appropriate line is...Aha! Now I understand... I had completely misinterpreted the meaning of this field. My fault.. I thought one had to indicate the voice mailbox id (ie the id you define in the voicemail.conf file) and NOT (as it really has to be...) the extension number you have to dial to get your voicemails. In other words my BT's had each a differente number in this field, whereas one just has to put in whatever extension you dial to get to the exten => 300,1,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => 300,2,Hangup in the dialplan. As simple as that, then... Thanks a lot, Aldo
