Re: [asterisk-users] Message waiting question...
Hi
For those interested.
I've ported the following solution:
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4236
for asterisk 1.2.10
it works well.
To activate MWI over IAX2 add the following line in sip.conf or
zaptel.conf etc...
mailbox=IAX2/{iax2_context}/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
For some weird reason though, on my panasonic while I can hear the
message waiting tone, the little enveloppe icon doesn't appear on the
phone
The patch against 1.2.10 is attached to this email.
I have also ported this solution:
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4371
to asterisk 1.2.10 if anyone is interested.. It's more powerful but
much more complicated to configure ...

This was before 1.2 so it may no longer work at all. At the very least
it will likely required some updating. Doable, just depends how much
time you want to put into it :).
I think I got it working with Asterisk 1.2.10. I can see the mailbox
information being sent between the two servers.
However, my SPA3000 is still not getting the MWI properly. I believe
that the problem is with the configuration file. I'm not sure I fully
understand the information provided: in the bug report there are
several conflicting setup and I'm not sure which one is good.
Setup being:
SPA3000 -(SIP) Asterisk1 ---(IAX2) Asterisk2
and I want SPA3000 to check if there's voicemail waiting on Asterisk2.
On Asterisk2:
in iax.conf I have:
[iax_peer_name_to_asterisk1]
type=friend
mailbox=500
host=dynamic
...
in voicemail.conf
voicemail_server=iax_peer_name_to_asterisk1
[default]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] = password,email etc..
On Asterisk1:
iax.conf:
[iax_peername_to_asterisk2]
type=friend
username=iax_peer_name_to_asterisk1
secret=..
host=asterisk2_hostname
sip.conf:
[spa3000]
mailbox=500:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Am I correct?
I haven't digged too much in the source code, I'm starting to have a
good understanding but any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for this link, very interesting. I've started porting it on Asterisk 1.2. For it to work, do you need to use two patched Asterisk on either side? or only on the machine wanting to retrieve the MWI status ?

Anyhow, Asterisk1 and Asterisk2 are connected using IAX2. What I would like is to have the SPA3000 Message Waiting indicator based on the voicemail message hosted on the Asterisk2 server.

[asterisk-users] Message waiting question...
Hi I have the following setup: SPA3000 (at home) -- Asterisk1 server (at home) --- Asterisk2 server (at work). The reason the SPA3000 isn't connected directly to Asterisk server 2 is because the SPA3000 can't register to more than one SIP account at a time, plus it was more fun that way :) Anyhow, Asterisk1 and Asterisk2 are connected using IAX2. What I would like is to have the SPA3000 Message Waiting indicator based on the voicemail message hosted on the Asterisk2 server. Is this possible?

The MWI will just query the database to see if there are messages, and since there will be... MWI will be sent to the phone. 2. Using the ability to execute an outside application that exists right now and using your own method to communicate back to turn on MWI (maybe generating a SIP NOTIFY to poke the phone with?). 3. Share the voicemail directory over something like NFS.

Re: [asterisk-users] Message waiting question...
Might be easier to share the directory over WebDAV. Only need to have one port open on the work firewall (if in place) to allow access and can also run it over SSL.-brandonOn 7/26/06, Joshua Colp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message -From: Jean-Yves Avenard[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]To: Asterisk Users Mailing List -Non-Commercial Discussion [mailto: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com]Sent:Wed, 26 Jul 2006 11:19:34 -0300Subject: [asterisk-users] Message waitingquestion...
