Voicemail sccp.conf File Changes

You can add the ability to enable the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) lamp on SCCP phones when there is a message in a mailbox. To do this you need to add the mailbox = xxxx option to each of the lines you wish to monitor in sccp.conf

For example:

[sally-line1]
type=line
label = 2901
context = default
mailbox = 2901

You can also set the voicemail button on the phone (newer Cisco phones have a picture of an envelope on this button) to be a speed dial button which calls the extension to check messages. To do this you need to add the vmnum = xxxx option to each of the lines you wish to monitor in sccp.conf

For example:

[sally-line1]
type=line
label = 2901
context = default
vmnum = 2999
