[asterisk-users] Metermaid phone compatibility

[shadowym]

I have been experimenting with the new metermaid application that allows
phones to monitor the status of a parked call using BLF.  Does anyone know
what BLF feature the phone needs to support to make this work.  Is it
basically the same as the Bristuff Devstate()?  Anyone know which phones do
and do not support this (metermaid, not Bristuff)?  Of course SNOM seems to
be the main one but there must be others.  Sounds like perhaps the Polycoms
work with it as well.

The reason I am asking is that I have an Aastra 9133i with v1.4 firmware and
I can't get it to work with metermaid or Devstate().  Aastra tech support
phoned me about my Bristuff Devstate() question to them and indicated their
phone does not support that with current firmware but they are looking at it
for a future release.  That answers my Devstate() question.

The phone/firmware supports BLF monitoring of SIP extensions just fine.
Someone on the bug issue in question
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5779 stated they had their Aastra working
with metermaid just fine so I am wondering if I am missing something here.
The 480i and 9133i are both pretty much the same in terms of BLF support so
which model I have shouldn't matter.    Still scratching my head over the
person who posted that and I don't know their email to confirm.  

Maybe he is here...."dimitripietro"??

I am pretty sure I have it set up right.  My GXP2000 seems to work with
metermaid ok but "show hints" only shows the GXP2000 monitoring the call
parking extension (701).  Ie. It only shows one extension monitoring and
since the GXP2000 is working that must be the one.  I have a second
extension configured and it is the Aastra 9133i.  Of course I tried a few
different settings in the Aastra GUI and messed around with the Asterisk
config.
