Ahh I see.

In response to your other question about the auto-provisioning of Cisco phones, 
I wrote some scripts that work against an active directory and setup the phones 
automagically. I'll send the link your way if you'd like.

Did not mean to infer they don't perform wonderfully with Asterisk.  By "hack" 
I meant that Cisco does not offer any official support for them on Asterisk.

Cory,

Precisely what do you mean by 'Anything other than Callmanager will essentially 
be a "hack"'?

I've got nearly 100 Cisco 79x1s in production using Asterisk against the SIP 
image. They're not 'hacked', they're set up properly against the Cisco provided 
SIP image and are rock-solid stable. I would pit them against any of the 
cheaper model SIP phones any time, any place, any day.

I've written scripts to do nearly everything that call manager can do without 
paying hundreds of dollars per user for the call manager software. Just about 
the only thing they can't do at the moment is BLF because they require SIP over 
TCP to handle SIP messages about BLF status, something that I'm not willing to 
implement just yet.

In the past, Cisco phones have had a bad rap as not being usable outside of a 
call manager environment. That's just not the case.

Darrin,

The files you are using are consistent with SIP for Cisco Call Manager. 
Anything other than Callmanager will essentially be a "hack". I am not sure how 
proprietary the Avaya system is in regards to registration and "open-SIP" 
support. Asterisk and any iteration of it will support it, but Cisco hasn't 
really designed a load compatible with it yet. I can tell you that I haven't 
really found any configuration file generation tools for these files. The 
reason being is that these loads are mainly used for SCCP and SIP Cisco 
systems. There is a well known tutorial on how to "Hack to the CP-797

Re: [asterisk-users] Polycoms and BLF

[Jeffrey Phelps]

I am using Polycom IP550 with BootROM 4.1.2 and SIP 3.1.2...

 

It appears that the "Enhanced BLF" feature is what I'm looking for on
the Polycom, but it also appears that it was written to work with the MS
Live Communications server or the BroadSoft Servers...

 

That sucks...

I'm trying to get the BLF to work correctly on my Polycom phones.  I
have the buddy watch working correctly, but can't get the BLF to change
based on the state...

 

Example:

 

When an extension is ringing, I get the same 'red light' that I get when

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with getting the Polycom

Re: [asterisk-users] Compiling to use IMAP: how?

[Jeffrey Phelps]

What version of ubuntu are you running??  That makes a difference...

But you need to install libc-client.  On my system it is libc-client2007b and 
libc-client2007b-dev

Once you install those packages, then do './configure --with-imap' and you 
should be good to go...

You need to read the documentation, specifically doc/imapstorage.txt,
which is conveniently located in the source tree and named with a name
very similar to the feature you are trying to use :-)

Hi Noah,
 
 
 
Yes, there is a way with Exchange 2003 to use a master user.  After
doing lots of IMAP hacking and testing on Exchange 2003, I found that
there IS A WAY!!!  I am using Asterisk 1.6.1-Beta2, but this should also
work in 1.4.x as it is Exchange specific, not Asterisk specific.
 
I'm sure this is the long awaited for secret that many IT Professionals
have been looking for and here is how it works...
 
In your voicemail.conf:
 
ext_num =>
vm_pass,user_name,user_email,user_pager_email|imapuser=domain.com\admin_
user_name\mailbox_name|imappassword=apmin_user_password
 
The admin username is just the username, and the mailbox name is just
the prefix (before the @ symbol) of the e-mail address.
 
Example:
 
1688 => 1234,1688,

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6, IMAP Voicemail and externnotify

[Jeffrey Phelps]

I too am looking for a way to get the externnotify= script to run on poll 
events.

Right now, I have a script that runs as a cron job every 60 seconds, but with 
150 voicemail boxes, I constantly have at least 40 or 50 instances of the 
script running at a time because it takes so long to run it through all the 
mailboxes...

Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6, IMAP Voicemail and externnotify

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I have Asterisk sitting between the PSTN and a legacy PBX.  Asterisk is
doing some IVR work prior to forwarding calls to the PBX and it also
acts as the voice mail server for the PBX, with Asterisk configured for
IMAP storage.

When a call comes in and the caller leaves a voice mail, the VoiceMail
application calls the program configured in voicemail.conf
(externnotify=).  I use that program to create a call file which then
turns the MWI on the PBX's phones on or off.   Turning the MWI on is
fine when voicemail is left and turning the MWI off works great when the
user checks his/her voicemail using the handset.

My problem is that I want the MWI to be turned off is the user checks
his voicemail via an email client.

I'm aware of the new IMAP polling* parameters in voicemail.conf, and I
have them set.   It has become apparent to me that the only time the
externnotify script is called is when the VoiceMail[Main] application is
accessed.  It appears that the script is not called when Asterisk polls
the IMAP server to check voicemail.   Is that correct?

Thanks.

Sorry to hijack this thread (at least I changed the Subject), but this

I have IMAP voicemail working with Exchange 2003 using a single username

Right now, I am setting up asterisk to use voicemail with my Cisco Call
Manager (Which I detest BTW...) and I have everything working, EXCEPT:

 

I cannot get my externnotify script to run when any changes have been
made to the VoiceMail...

 

Scenario:

Caller leaves Bob a voicemail  -> externnotify calls script which turns
on his Cisco MWI.

 

Bob checks Voicemail  ->  Bob deletes Voicemail  -> asterisk says that
the voicemail was deleted, but doesn't run my script again to turn off
the Cisco MWI.

 

 

I would just like to know if there is any work around for this.
OR.  Maybe Someone is working on adding this into the code
so that it works...

 

I'm running * 1.6.1-beta2

 

Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.
