Forwarding to Voicemail Server
I want to use Voxalot as an occasional answering machine for my home phone. I figured the only way to do this was to configure my SPA3k ATA to answer the PSTN when I'm out, then forward the caller to Voxalot; or more precisely, to Voxalot's mail server...
Presumably I can't just forward the call to mysip@voxalot.com, because 1) Voxalot sees my ATA is registered and won't divert to voicemail 2) My ATA can't call my number because that creates a loopback, ie calling my own mysip from my own ATA. Putting my question in simple terms: a) Can I (my SPA3k) send SIP calls direct to Voxalot's voicemail server? b) What's the IP address of Voxalot's voicemail server?? Thanks! |

The IP address of voxalot.com resolves to:
24.196.79.152 for me at this time; I would suspect from information provided thus far, that the voicemail server is the same as the voxalot.com server regardless of which server you choose to register your providers through. |

Here's my setup:
If I call my PSTN, the SPA-3000 rings Line 1 as a PSTN Ring Thru. After 12 seconds, Line 1 forwards the call to my voxalot account, and Voice Mail answers immediately. |

My SPA configuration probably differs from yours because I'm using the PSTN gateway to forward the call to sip voicemail: WITH PSTN Line... PSTN-to-VoIP Gateway Enable = yes Ring Thru = yes Auth Method = none Default DP = 2 Dial Plan 2 = (,P2 <:mysip@voxalot.com>|<mypin,:>[x*][x*].<:@gw3>) END WITH. The benefit of this config is that I can dial in remotely and use my SPA to VoIP out to mobile and international locations, or pause 2 secs then go to voicemail. Trouble is, the "warm line" to mysip@voxalot.com tries to ring back to my ATA, which gets confused and starts ringing all over again. Any thoughts? I reckon that I need the address of the vmail server, not the sipserver. EDIT: To troubleshoot this problem, I tried disabling my PSTN Gateway, and checking the Cfwd No Ans Dest. Now my phone rings six times, goes silent briefly, rings twice more, then answers "sorry the number you have called could not be connected, please try again". Did you mean literally "$USER" as the Dest? And literally "$USER@voxalot.com" as the designated vmail server on Line 1? That's what I've got. I figured that, if I can get the No Ans Dest working, I can have another go at the PSTN gateway method... which I still think needs the vmailserver IP address.

No need for it - unless you happened to have two voxalot user ids and wanted to switch a SPA between them both, by changing one field only (or are just trying to be clever). The voice mail and call forward destinations would follow that. |

Perhaps I have a set up problem with call forwarding to $USER. The best way to fix that might be to call forward to the vmail IP instead. Methinks that's a question for one of the knights of Voxalot. |

Some other thoughts
I assume these are already set correctly, but just in case, here is another setting to check:
Line1.Supplementary Service Subscription.Cfwd All Serv := Yes (I've got all supplementary services set to yes). From reading the admin guide, the Call Forward destinations are expected to be numbers. You could specify something like 0414123456@gw0 for example, so an incoming call to Line1 gets forwarded to the specified number on PSTN (I know, not what you're trying to do here), but my reading is it's a number that will be called (via a SIP Invite). So the spa is expecting to "dial" that number when the call forward is activated - i.e. after a given number of seconds with no answer. I don't know if you can specify GW1-4, or just GW0, and I'm not sure if dial plan processing occurs or not. One thought is to set the call forward destination to the monkeys (600), and see if when you call your PSTN, you get put through to the monkeys. Sorry I can't be more help - it works for me, but I don't have the PSTN to VOIP gateway set up. |

You can specify GW1-4 as Cfwd Dest. I just tried *266300@gw3, where gw3 = sipbroker.com. And it works (monkeys). But Cfwd Dest = 123456@voxalot.com just rings out. As mentioned previously, Dest = $USER results in "sorry, the number you have called could not be connected". |

Last suggestion - just try Cfwd dest = 123456 (where 123456 is your voxalot number).
