[asterisk-users] Light indicator managed by Asterisk

I would think that that is down to either your indications.conf (could
be wrong) or the handset itself.

I know most Yealink and GrandStream handsets let you change tones in
their individual config.  Not too sure about others.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Light indicator managed by Asterisk

Hello,

this light indicator thing is working just great by following the same
guide as BLF (with hints).

There is just 1 thing bothering me : it is a call that is being made to
an extension, which Asterisk immediately hangs up. This makes the
IP-phone go "beep beep beep beep", a normal ringtone when the other end
(Asterisk) has terminated the call.

But is there a way to give a signal to the phone that the line has not
been disconnected so it does not make this annoying "beep beep beep
beep" sound ? Perhaps a stupid question...

This is my dialplan :

exten => 7777,1,NoOp(devstate)
exten => 7777,n,Answer()
exten =>
7777,n,GoToIf($["${DEVICE_STATE(Custom:light)}"="BUSY"]?unbusy:busy)
exten => 7777,n(busy),Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:light)=BUSY)
exten => 7777,n,Hangup()
exten => 7777,n(unbusy),Set(DEVICE_STATE(Custom:light)=NOT_INUSE)
exten => 7777,n,Hangup()

After the Hangup(), the IP-phone goes "beep beep beep beep" indicating
the call has ended. I should be glad with this ringtone signal, but not
in this case.

Kind regards,
Jonas.

Hello,

is there some way to make Asterisk light up a certain light on an
IP-phone ?

Like MWI, the message waiting indicator can light up if there is
voicemail.

Could this light, or even other lights (like BLF-buttons)

be used to

give a visual notification to the user ?

For example : if a certain value is set in the Mysql-DB

and Asterisk

reads out this value, can Asterisk react upon it inside

the dialplan

to make a light lit up ?

2nd example : if a certain extension is called, can we

perform inside

the dialplan an action that makes a light lit up on a Snom

or Yealink

IP-phone ?

I don't know if all this is at all possible, but it doesn't harm
asking I guess...

If BLF works, then maybe more things are possible in the same way.
Just thinking outside the box here.

    BLF lights can be manipulated with Hints and the

DEVSTATE function to

set custom device states.  This way you can have a BLF

light react to

any event you want.

This means that extensions/hints need to be defined to be able to
control a BLF-light that monitors this extension ?

I agree that this gives some control over a light/button on
an IP-phone.

    The MWI can be manipulated in several ways.  Last week

someone asked

this question and got several answers.

You don't perhaps have a link to the discussion ? I don't
really follow
this list constantly so I've certainly missed out on this subject.
