Its basically the same problem. Asterisk is not a standalone voicemail server. It would have to support Qsig. Asterisk doea not exactly have expansive Qsig support. I believe there are several bounties out for Qsig.
Without Qsig, you would have to use parallel forking and ring the users avaya or siemans extension and also the same extension on an Asterisk box. Youd have to manage a dummy number for every mailbox configure dont he asterisk box. Also, I dont know for siemans, but Avaya doesnt support parallel forking, so you would have to either configure both the employee and asterisk as an optum extension or buy an x-mobility/extension-to-celluar license to accomplish either. I think x-mobility is $300 list per phone. Its horribly expensive. Among Nortel, Avaya, & Mitel voicemail systems Mitel is by far the best product of these 3. Avaya message networking/modular messaging is basically a beta. Nobody should consider that GA. Its horrible. Nortel requires too much professional service money to get up and running. Nortel seems to think they can charge 4 times more for everything because it says Nortel. I havent figured that one out yet. Mitel was my preferred vendor voicemail product since it is reasonably priced and their support organization is actually attentive. Check out Mitel 10. -------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.

And if pabx legacy was Siemens model HiPath 3750, could use asterisk as serving of voicemail and other applications? Best Regards Josué 2007/5/5, Salvatore Giudice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I've done a lot of work with Avaya. Voicemail systems attaché dot Avaya use Qsig trunk to pass calls to voicemail servers. The core of their modular messaging/message networking infrastructure can also use VPIM for communication between vmail servers. As far as I know, you can't use Asterisk in the same way you can use a modular messaging setup. Asterisk will only work if you actually terminate the employee's phone on the asterisk box and that would be kind of pointless because businesses only want Avaya because eof the extra feature they offer. You would of course lose most of them if you were just using Avaya to manage the tie lines to an Asterisk box. On the brighter side, I would bet your licensing would be a hell of a lot cheaper I worked with Avaya for 3 years prototyping solutions involving their CCS/SES product line. Their stuff does not play well with other equipment. -------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com <http://voipsecuritytraining.com/> 848 N.

It would like to know if already they had had success, in the integration of the functions of asterisk, with one pabx legacy (Avaya)for that pabx avaya, could use the voicemail of asterisk. For sample, user of pabx avaya, it would have its calls directed for not attendance and busy, for asterisk and asterisk, it would send the same one for the voicemail.
