Illuminating message waiting light over PRI...

[jomaha]

I'm connected to Legend 7.0 via 5ess PRI to an asterisk pbx. I am routing unanswed (both extenal & internal) calls back out through the PRI to UDP extension 6799 for voicemail - which is working fine and asterisk is capturing the called extension number.

I would like to turn on the message waiting light. I have tried setting asterisk's outgoing cid to 6799 and dialing into the legend with #53XXXX where XXXX=LegendExt. The string works from internal extensions - but not through the pri. I've seen on other threads that you can illuminate lights over a pri, do I have to set up something special or use a different string?

Thanks,

John

I've seen a viking unit used to light lights over point to points that were flakey or had 2 different systems, etc. But I forgot what the part was called.
