I understand that the Asterisk SLA implementation is somewhat different from most key systems and PBX systems. I also understand that in Asterisk, one does not put an SLA line on hold since it is just a MeetMe conference. However, is there any way to make the BLF flash when the answering party on the Asterisk system presses the hold key on their set and leaves the calling party alone in the MeetMe? The current behaviour is to leave the line BLF solid, not flashing. -- Muiz Motani <muiz at askaritech.com> Askari Technologies

What brand of phones are you using, and are you using up-to-date firmware for them? -- Kevin P.

I couldn't tell you what version of firmware they are running. -- Muiz Motani <muiz at askaritech.com> Askari Technologies
