[Asterisk-Users] help with skinny

[Henry Devito]

Ok,  I got 1 7910 up and I get dial tone when I go off hook,  The other 7910
is battery, dead air.  Using the default configuration files what extension
do I dial for voicemail?  I'm confused.  I've programmed many PBX's but it
is hard for me to get my mind around * definition of extensions.

That 169.254.173.1 address doesn't sound right.  I'm assuming that is not
really the address of the * box.  Is your dhcp server giving out option 60
(tftp address)?  If so, that could be conflicting with the address you
think you assigned in the phone.  You could try turning of dhcp in the
phone setting a static address, gateway, subnet mask and tftp address.  I
assume you have a tftp server running on the * system, right?  If so, you
should be able to tail -f /var/log/messages and see if the phone is even
trying to get the config files.

Where did you buy the phone?  I haven't seen 7910s advertised anywhere.
