[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 Message Light on multiple phones

[Brian M. Arlinghaus]

I've got 25 7960s with different mailboxes set for different lines.  The MWI 
indicator (red light) comes on if there are messages in either of the 
mailboxes.  However, on the display, an envelope shows up next to the line 
that has the voicemail waiting.  Therefore I can tell which line has the 
voicemail.

In my extensions.conf, I have a dial command such as exten => 
8900,1,Dial(SIP/89XX-3&SIP/89XX-3&SIP/89XX-3,,).  All of the phones ring at 
the same time.  All of the message waiting indicators will light if someone 
leaves a message and all of them will go out when the the messages are 
removed.

What does the @ do?
Original Example: exten => 135,1,Dial(SIP/135 at 100&SIP/135 at 101,20,rt)
