[Asterisk-Users] Programming an unlocked ADSI phone?

Thanks for the reply Tim - I was beginning to think nobody used this stuff
;-)

As you can tell, I'm a relative newcomer to ADSI - I'm really not sure what
to expect once the phone gets programmed, but I would not expect to see
(PLEASE PROGRAM ME) still, and I would have hoped it would not have broken
voicemail so readily.

I'm not using a channel bank at all ... I have a very simple setup using two
x100p FXO cards and one TDM400P FXS card.

As I mentioned below it does appear that SOMETHING was loaded into the
phone, and it does appear to at least TRY to use ADSI when accessing
voicemail.

It's odd ... it's like everything worked but I'm left saying ... okayyyyy,
now what? The phone isn't incredibly functional at this point - even if I do
go into the services menu and select 'Asterisk PBX' this selection only
persists until I use the phone once. Also, there aren't soft keys for
anything useful like transferring a call ... how WOULD one do that with this
phone anyway?

-Darren

What kind of channelbank/FXS port are you connecting to?


I've seen problems connecting to some of the older versions of the
Adtran Total Access 750's.  I wouldn't doubt there would be problems on
other channelbanks with older firmwares.  Of course, no firmware on CAC
AB1's


I have the AAstra 480, Adtran 750 Channelbank (updated firmware), T100P
card, and it worked fine on the first try with current CVS.

Update.

As I mentioned in my first post (below), I had managed to get the phone
to
accept a download from asterisk, but it still said PLEASE PROGRAM ME
after
the download was completed. After further investigation it does appear I
downloaded SOMETHING to the phone, because if I select the services
button
on the front of the phone, I get into a menu that says:

      Services
> Asterisk PBX
   Asterisk slot 2
     <available>
     <available>

If I select the first one in the list, the phone does change from PLEASE
PROGRAM ME to "** Asterisk PBX**" and there's a VMail softkey!! However,
if
I pick up the handset and replace it, I'm back to "PLEASE PROGRAM ME"
again.
Is this normal?

My second problem is that when I dial voicemail from this handset now,
which
is ADSI-enabled, I see the following message on the text screen:

Comedian Mail
(C) 2002 LSS, Inc.
Downloading Scripts

I don't see any activity on the console in terms of logging, and I don't
see
any way to elevate ADSI logging. Within less than a second, I see:

    Comedian Mail
    download refused.

    Services is full

At this point the voicemail's welcome script plays and the display
changes
to:

Comedian Mail
(C) 2002 LSS, Inc.
  Load Cancelled
  ADSI Unavailable

at this point voicemail's works like it used to before ADSI.

Is any of this ringing any bells with anyone? Any tips appreciated ...
I've
looked around but I'm really not finding any documentation on how to
make
this work.
