[Asterisk-Users] chan_sccp and Cisco 7940

[Derek Conniffe]

Answering myself (but might be useful to anyone else):

The Cisco 7940 / chan_sccp DOES answer calls just fine providing that I 
only setup one line (the 7940 has two "line" buttons).  So this is 
getting me by with this phone perfectly although I'm sure I'm missing 
something here as  the multiple lines with chan_sccp should work and I 
haven't seen anyone else ask this not-picking-up question - this should 
be especially important for 7960s which have 6 line buttons.

The only thing that I find is a bit of a pity is that there doesn't seem 
to be a way to make the Voicemail button work (i.e. automatically dial 
the mailbox extension) - when the voicemail button is pressed this comes 
up on the asterisk console: "Got {StimulusMessage} 
stimulus=VoiceMail(15) stimulusInstance=1" and, on the next line, 
"sccp_actions.c:343 sccp_handle_stimulus: VM Button is not yet handled. 
working on implementation".

I think this wouldn't be such a problem with a 7960 because a speeddial 
button could be used to easily access voicemail.
