    Delay in VM pickup

    Okay, thanks TTT and MM ... I figured I had missed some configuration option in the setup.

    Delay in VM pickup

    OK, that's probably it. I didn't get that far in my system programming, I still need to enter my mailbox number, so the system is sending the default mode codes and not identifying which station is calling in. How about a pointer to how to enable that, so the MLM knows I'm dialing in from...

    How to display the agent status on the phone?

    It sounds like you want to implement a shared line appearance or busy lamp field. This depends a lot on what phone you're using. See the asterisk 'hint' command or look up SLA in voip-info.org

    Delay in VM pickup

    I guess the HD is running all the time. The system hasn't been flaky for us ... yet .... just looking for some way around the delay. Setting to the default system greeting instead of the recorded one cut a second or two off but it's still about 4 seconds before we hear "welcome to Merlin Mail"...

    Delay in VM pickup

    Legend V7 R12, MLM007 voicemail, 4-port. When a user dials in to retrieve messages, it takes 5-6 seconds to play the initial greeting. It sounds as if this is due to the hard disk having to spin up, but I thought it was running all the time. Is there any way to reduce the time between end of...

    CLID on Merlin ISDN BRI

    Most of the sites we're looking at (4-8 lines) still can't justify a PRI. I have read the Legend R7 system planning docs on BRI and it seems a little clearer now except for one thing. Is there any capacity for the Legend to deal with secondary numbers, or are we stuck with one SPID and one DN...

    CLID on Merlin ISDN BRI

    AT&T has announced reduction in their BRI rate in Calif to $25 so I am looking at switching some lines over to ISDN from analog (other issues, like hum in the remote terminal serving us, and limited pair count in the cable to the building are also a factor). We have a Legend running version 7.0...

    WinSPM manual

    I think the original question was about various websites that WinSPM asks you to specify when it's installed. This is just a convenience feature that lets you put links in the program which you can click to bring up those pages in your browser. It has nothing to do with the operation of WinSPM...

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    There have been a couple of small 740's on eBay recently, a 740BE Keylite and some other 740. I never liked step, I have two crossbar pbxs, a 755A and a Switching System 400, it's a bad disease.

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    Well, yes, but most (probably) of us also have collections of elder BSPs and other hard paper documentation. Gotta get that musty paper smell to go along with the reeking phenolic smell.

    Need Advice on aplicability of Asterisk for this setup

    Not necessarily. SIP is point to point *if* you set it up that way. If the endpoints can reinvite, they can establish a point to point connection (usually desirable). But you can program the server to stay in the path, and you must if you want to collect information on the call, monitor it, etc.

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    Morse code counts with old timers. Nokia's SMS ring tone still says "connecting people" in Morse... I don't see Merlinman making tracks to start such a form, perhaps he knows better...

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    OK, who starts the electromechanical switching forum?

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    The therapy session starts with the acquisition and cutover of a piece of electromechanical switchgear, off in the corner, so you dial some digits and you hear something real happen. A 1A2 interrupter is enough medicine for some people, but I had to have a crossbar switch or two. For details...

    You mean, this isn't therapy?

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    Now, why didn't I find that? Because it was hiding under options, that's why. Thanks much. If you need any 555, 701, 740 etc. parts let me know. There is a band of wackos using Asterisk to tie together a whole assortment of electromechanical switches all over the world and we're having a good...

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    Adding to the post above, the Merlin cuts through after 7 digits, or 10 digits, or 1+ 7 or 10D, or 0. It's not looking for wink. Any way to change this to cut through after 1 or 2 digits?

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    Thanks, Merlinman, Outmode is (part of) the answer. It's not a crossbar OFFICE that only does rotary, it's a 1000 pound, 40 line crossbar PBX (a Western Electric Switching System 400) sitting next to the Merlin that only does rotary. I know it's strange, but I wanted to have one. Some of my...

    Legend rotary dialing on trunks?

    Is there any way to make a Merlin Legend dial CO trunks using pulse dialing? We have a crossbar pbx here (more for fun than utility) and I am trying to avoid converting it to touchtone dialing. Rotary phones work fine on the Legend, but when they access trunks, each digit is converted to a...

    Merlin Mail VM and AA together

    Now cell phones and digital radio are more in my line of expertise. There are dozens of places where the tone can get corrupted; some systems pass the DTMF audio from the phone, others recreate it somewhere in the switching system, and who knows what kind of lossy audio compression is used to...
