[Asterisk-Users] Message waiting

[Reid A. Forrest]

Don,
I have the same situation at home. I have a shared mailbox (500), and each of
my other two SIP phones have their own. I wanted the MWI to light up for
either the individual or shared mailbox. I didn't want to use broadcasting,
since I wanted the message to "clear" when either of us listened to it.

In your sip.conf (or Zapata.conf if using analog sets) use the mailbox= line
to set MWI. You can specify multiple mailboxes to monitor. Here's a snippet
of my sip.conf for one of my phones:

[550]
type=friend
host=dynamic
context = default
username=550 
secret=xxxxxxxxxx
nat=no 
canreinvite=no
mailbox=500,550

This will light the MWI if new messages exist in either mailbox 500 or 550.

-Reid

The message waiting options seem to be geared for a normal office 
environment where there is a one-to-one relationship between a 
user and a phone/mailbox.

I want to have a mailbox that is shared amoung a number of people 
and want the message waiting light to turn on on multiple phones.


I can direct the voice mail to the common mail box.
I can direct the individual users to the common mail box.
I can light the message waiting light on the associated phone.

I can not figure out how to light the message wating light on the 
rest of the phones.
