Hello, is there some way to make Asterisk light up a certain light on an IP-phone ? Like MWI, the message waiting indicator can light up if there is voicemail. Could this light, or even other lights (like BLF-buttons) be used to give a visual notification to the user ? For example : if a certain value is set in the Mysql-DB and Asterisk reads out this value, can Asterisk react upon it inside the dialplan to make a light lit up ? 2nd example : if a certain extension is called, can we perform inside the dialplan an action that makes a light lit up on a Snom or Yealink IP-phone ? I don't know if all this is at all possible, but it doesn't harm asking I guess... If BLF works, then maybe more things are possible in the same way. Just thinking outside the box here. Kind regards, Jonas. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20110512/9e0cafc4/attachment.htm>

Kind regards, Jonas. [Danny Nicholas] The answer is highly dependent on flavor of Asterisk and phone. In my experience, Asterisk can generally only light up the MWI light on any applicable phone. I have Polycom 501 phones and I can make MWI light up by leaving a message for that phone or my generic extension 108. If I zap the message, the light goes off. So in either of your examples, I could call an AGI to turn the light on or off. As I read, SNOM are pretty much equivalent to Polycoms regarding MWI functionality, don't know about Yealink. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This way you can have a BLF light react to any event you want. The MWI can be manipulated in several ways.

Which works great for what I want. Thank you for the feedback. Do you think it is also possible to get info displayed on the screen of the IP-phone ? Any idea how that would work ? Something tells me that this will depend on the brand/type of IP-phone.

I would think that that is down to either your indications.conf (could
be wrong) or the handset itself.
I know most Yealink and GrandStream handsets let you change tones in
their individual config. Not too sure about others.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Light indicator managed by Asterisk
Hello,
this light indicator thing is working just great by following the same
guide as BLF (with hints).
There is just 1 thing bothering me : it is a call that is being made to
an extension, which Asterisk immediately hangs up. This makes the
IP-phone go "beep beep beep beep", a normal ringtone when the other
end
(Asterisk) has terminated the call.
But is there a way to give a signal to the phone that the line has not
been disconnected so it does not make this annoying "beep beep beep
beep" sound ? Perhaps a stupid question...
This is my dialplan :
exten => 7777,1,NoOp(devstate)
exten => 7777,n,Answer()
exten =>
7777,n,GoToIf($["${DEVICE_STATE(Custom:light)}"="BUSY"]?unbusy:busy)
exten => 7777,n(busy),Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:light)=BUSY)
exten => 7777,n,Hangup()
exten => 7777,n(unbusy),Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:light)=NOT_INUSE)
exten => 7777,n,Hangup()
After the Hangup(), the IP-phone goes "beep beep beep beep" indicating
the call has ended. I should be glad with this ringtone signal, but not
in this case.
Kind regards,
Jonas.

Just thinking outside the box here.
BLF lights can be manipulated with Hints and the
DEVSTATE function to
set custom device states. This way you can have a BLF
light react to
any event you want.
This means that extensions/hints need to be defined to be able to
control a BLF-light that monitors this extension ?
I agree that this gives some control over a light/button on
an IP-phone.
The MWI can be manipulated in several ways. Last week
someone asked
this question and got several answers.
You don't perhaps have a link to the discussion ? I don't
really follow
this list constantly so I've certainly missed out on this subject.
