[Asterisk-Users] External MW Lamp On/Off

[Umar Sear]

I have done something simmillar, but not the same. 

I send mwi notification to our softswitch (SIP).
Basically I wrote a small app in pascal that sends a
sip message to the softswitch. The app is called
everytime a message is left or retrieved, using the
extrennotify option in voicemail.conf. 

You could easily do something simillar, what you need
to do, is write a script or app (if one does not
already exist) that creates call file based on the
parameters passed by externnotify. 

Hope this helps.
