[asterisk-users] Monitor Zap Status - Full E-mail...

Upon further investigation I must be doing something wrong.
 
It was my understanding that a "hint" extension could be anything, it
wasn't the same as a real extension, though you could make it the same
to make it easier.
 
That being said exten => 702,hint,SIP/702 works, while exten =>
102,hint,SIP/702  doesn't.
 
I've got a GXP-2000 with the first button set to AsteriskBLF username
102 and the second button set to AsteriskBLF username 702, only the
second button actively monitors 702.
 
I've read, reread, rereread and so on a ot of examples of hint files and
I can't figure out why the GXP-2000 doesn't like them.  When I do show
hints in CLI it is registering both 102 & 702 properly.

I've installed Grandstream GPX-2000 phones and have successfully enabled
one of my buttons to use Asterisk BLF for an extension.  I can tell when
this extension is available, is being rung, or is on the line.
 
I'd like to do the same for my Zaptel channels, to be able to see when a
line is onhook, ringing or offhook.
 
I tried the following but alas, it doesn't seem to be working:
 
exten => 102,hint,ZAP/2

 
I based that on:
 
exten => 732,hint,SIP/732

which does work for the SIP phones.
 
If I do "show hints" in the CLI, I get
 
   102                 : ZAP/2                 State:Idle
Watchers  0
   732                 : ZAP/1                 State:Idle
Watchers  0
 
When a call is made on the ZAP/2 line the State changes to InUse, so I
know it's working on that side.
 
Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can monitor a ZAP line on my
GPX-2000?  The problem is we have 6 lines, so my plan was to use the 7
buttons down the side, the top 6 for lines and the 7th for paging.
 
Thanks for the help,
Ken
