Hello, all. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have read and read through many posts on this topic, none of which seem to address my issue. Please don’t think I’m just posting without first trying to do some research!
In my FreePBX, I have a general mailbox virtual extension numbered 399. I want to make a BLF button on the telephones that monitor that voicemail box. I have made BLF buttons to *98399. When I push the button, it correctly puts me in the voicemail box, but I’m wanting the key to flash when a voicemail is left in the box. I thought this was supposed to work by default? It looks like this works with app-dialvm hints, but when I do a show hints in the CLI I do not see the app-dialvm hints. Do I need to have the FreePBX generate those hints or something? How can I get this to work?
If you are not using phone apps, you will probably have to set up a different monitoring hint for that. Some phones provide a “dial” string for button push and a “watcher” for the hints generated for VM.
There have been a ton of questions about programming BLF and Function keys on the T29G over the past few months. I’d start by searching for T29G and looking through some of those.
I don’t use Yealink phones, so I can’t really help you more than that. Maybe someone with one of these beasts can pop in and make a suggestion.
