[Asterisk-Users] VM access

[Larry Shields]

Ok I think I found what I am looking for.  You need to added two items to
your configs.
 
; Add the following context to your extensions.conf (2001 is the main
mailbox that all my messages are left in)
 
[vmlogin]
 
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(2001)
exten => a,2,Hangup
 
exten => i,1,Hangup
exten => t,1,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangup

; Add the following to the voicemail.conf to define what extensions context
will handle the * key or 0 key while in the voicemail application.
 
; Exit to specified context after the user presses * or 0
exitcontext=vmlogin
 
 
Now when listening to my outgoing greeting, I can press the * key and get my
mailbox login prompt.

On most VM systems you can press the * key or # key to get a login prompt
during your greeting.  Is that not possible with this system?
 
Thanks,
Larry

You could dedicate a PSTN line(& phone number) for that purpose.  You could
put a menu system(auto-attendant style) and just dial 8500(demo is set for
this exten to be the gateway to VM).  Or if your operator answers, have her
transfer your call to 8500.

Can someone tell me how to get to a mailbox login prompt when accessing the
Asterisk VM remotely via a PSTN line?  I am running version CSV 8/25/04.
 
Thanks,
Larry
