Ok lets get down to the setup. Login to the admin area of your trixbox webpanel.
What we need to do is create a custom context for the handling of the calls. to do this we goto pbx->config file editor. Then select extensions_custom.conf on the left hand side in that file we are going to create our custom context for handling calls.
[cisco-voicemail]
exten => _6199,1,Set(DEST=${CALLERID(number)})
exten => _6199,n,Macro(exten-vm,${DEST},${DEST})
the _6199 means 6199 is the number dialed. Then in the first line I get the callerid number and create a variable called DEST. Then I use a predefined macro to call the voicemail in line 2
Ok... So that seems straight forward enough, but you need to create all the extensions in such a way so that they go into this context and goto the voicemail.
To do that you create a basic sip extension by putting the extension number in and then just put the voicemail information in. Save it. You will probably get an error about not having a sip password, just accept that. Then you need to click on the extension you have just created to edit it. The parts you need to change are this:
context = cisco-voicemail
qualify = no
From there you should be able to use the voicemail :)
that's great, but what about MWI ( Message Waiting Indicator ). So in order to get that going we need to do a little more configuration. That configuration is a custom notification command to the phone using the SIP notify. below is the script I have used, it has some very basic parts and doesn't give a total of the old messages, as the cisco handsets didn't have the ability to display that information, so I removed a whole bunch of code from the original script and modified it slightly to make it fast and simple. Below is the script, but in order to make that script work you need to tell asterisk to use it. in voicemail.conf
externnotify = /var/lib/asterisk/script/notify-sip.sh
Here is the actual script used, if you are to use it all that will be require to change are the SIP_SERVER and the DOMAIN
#!/bin/bash
# This script send the SIP NOTIFY message to UA. The NOTIFY message
# can either enable or disable the UA message indicator. The script
# looks for any file in $VM_HOME and creates the NOTIFY message
#
# The actual NOTIFY message is sent to the SIP proxy by the sipsak
# utilty. This script can be called from Asterisk when a voice mail
# is left to notify immediately, and it can also be called from a cron
# job to send out message notifications to all users with voicemail
