Besides email notification, is there another way to get asterisk notify the user that they have a message? Example: Some analog phones have a blinking light that lets the user know that they have a voicemail message. Is asterisk capable of doing this?

I used to have email notification working with my voicemail services but it stopped working when I installed the new version of asterisk. I have not changed my voicemail.conf file, so I'm out of ideas. Does asterisk use Sendmail to send messages, or does it have its own method for sending email?

Is there a way to record your own voice messages ("Welcome to my PBX, Press 1 for ...") using asterisk and an analog phone, or do they need to be recorded using traditional voice recording software? Also, I am confused as to why my replies to the message board are never indented. Call this the ultimate newbie question, but how should the reply be worded so that I don't screw up

This morning, I received a very strange error message on the Asterisk console. The error occurs when I try to access iconnect WARNING[196621]: File chan_sip.c, Line 386 (__sip_xmit): sip_xmit of 0x80d0854 (len 649) to 213.137.73.178 returned -1: Bad file descriptor I also get this error when I try to reload: WARNING[16384]: File chan_sip.c, Line 5355 (reload_config): Unable to get IP address for

Is it possible to have both a busy and an away message when the call waiting feature is enabled? extensions.conf ... exten=>403,1,Dial,Zap/3|10 exten=>403,2,Voicemail2,u403 exten=>403,103,Voicemail2,b403 ... Because I have enabled call waiting, I can't see how it will be possible to get the busy message to play (because there will always be a dial tone). Am I right, or do I have

Here is the situation that I would like to create: Call comes in Receptionist sees that the caller ID is Jenny <8675309> Receptionist picks up phone and transfers call to Batman Batman looks at his phone and sees that the caller ID is Jenny <8675309> I can't seem to figure out how to forward the caller ID. Is this possible with Asterisk?

Ok. I just got a TDM10B and it is in with my X100P. So as it says in the provided instructions, I used the command modprobe tor2 I get an error message saying that there is no such device. My zaptel.conf looks like this: fxsks=1 fxoks=2 So I load the X100P first. (modprobe wcfxo) Then I load the TDM10B (modprobe tor2) Then I'm told that the device doesn't exist. Please help

So I have an X100P, and a TDM10B both working (at least I think they are). The drivers have been loaded and ztcfg -vv shows no errors in the configuration of two channels. When I run asterisk -vvvc and pick up my phone (plugged into TDM10B), I don't gear a dialtone. in phone.conf, I have [interfaces] mode=dialtone format=slinear ... Shouldn't that produce a dialtone when I pick up the

Here's the problem: I start asterisk, and it takes up around 3-4% of my CPU resources. However, this number continues to climb over the hours until it is close to 100%. Usually it takes around a day to climb up to approximately 95 or 96% Has anybody experienced the following problem before?

I was playing with the agent application to see if I could get it to work. Everything works fine, except that Asterisk plays musiconhold while an agent is logged in and is not taking a call. Is there a way to disable the music in this situation? Imagine working tech support where you had to listen to hold music when you weren't taking a call. Now think of your company's choice of hold

I just wanted to try out Festival, but I can't get it patched.

Ok. I am confused. I now have conflicting answers to my question: Do you need to use a special phone to use SIP? My setup is X100P and TDM10B. I would like to connect to iConnectHere, which uses SIP. Has anybody done this before (using similar equipment to what I have listed above)? And if it is not possible, could somebody please explain why. I don't understand why this wouldn't

I am always getting multiple PCI Master Abort messages when I try to plug in a second TDM400P. I have asked this question before, but I nothing really solved my problem and I just put it on the back burner for a while. I am at a point where this is a crucial issue. I have read that the Zaptel devices share an IRQ, is this causing the problem? Is there a way that I can manually change the IRQs of
