<br><br>We recently switched my wife's business over to an Asterisk setup<br>using Cisco IP phones (7940s and 7960s) with chan_sccp. They didn't<br>use any kind of "office-style" phone system before, they had one
<br>phone in the office with a built in answering machine that would<br>display the Caller ID of the person who left the message while<br>playing the message. I know in the Asterisk VM system, I can get it<br>to read back the name and number, but I'm wondering if there is a way
<br>I can get that information to display on the Cisco display as well?<br>Off the top of my head, I can't think of any way to do this. I don't<br>mind writing some custom XML apps either...<br><br>Any one have any thoughts on this?
<br><br>Thanks!<br>Brian<br><br></blockquote></div>Brian-<br><br>I've been working on this for some time- and it is possible, although has a few pitfalls. I'm not done with the Asterisk VM object to support it yet, but I have developed a Services menu item for 79XX series phone (using CMXML3- it won't work for SIP loads yet- although I havent tested it with an
8.0 series load) that will show you the voicemail by caller id, allow you to select (cherry-pick, as it were), then playback, delete, mark read/unread, and return the call. The system is backended by a php class I wrote to work with Cisco Unity- but I'm just about to start work on the class for Asterisk VM. (at my current pace, expect it in a few months). The system is developed privately- not GPL, not for sale- done for a client- but I am free to discuss the methods and madness within it, or develop a parallel system and contribute bits back to the OSS community- it's just tied in larger proprietary system which would be difficult to chop out without some time I don't have in my schedule right now. If the Asterisk class development goes well, I may do so- but it won't happen for a while.
<br><br>I'd be happy to discuss the implementation details with you if you'd like.<br><br>-Paul Davidson<br> PlanCommunications, LLC<br>
