[Asterisk-Users] VM access

[William Suffill]

It is but you need to modify your dial plan to make it work.

I do it like such
[inbound] ; context that takes inbound calls and matches em and routes according
exten => 91808,1,Macro(stdexten,101,SIP/101) ; fwd
exten => 5555555555,1,Goto(all-exten,101,1) 
; fwd goes start to my stdexten to 101 which doesn't have the options
to press * at vm
; the did goes to all-exten which has some added dialplan features to
make * work for vm

[all-exten]
exten => 0,1,Macro(stdexten,0,SIP/0)
exten => _[1-6]XX,1,SetVar(VMBX=${EXTEN})
exten => _[1-6]XX,2,NoOp(${VMBX})
exten => _[1-6]XX,3,Macro(stdexten,${EXTEN},${EXTEN})
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(${VMBX})
exten => a,2,Hangup

the a extension is called when * is pressed while in vm . The macro
returns to the context and goes to the a extension

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
