Siemens Optiset MWI Demo

The Siemens Optiset Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) demo turns a MWI light on and off by sending the appropriate Siemens Hicom 150E PBX switch commands. Note that this demo cannot be used with the Siemens Hicom 300E. The MWI light can be toggled on and off by sending and deleting messages for a given extension.

This demo program follows the Siemens Optiset E phone key strokes for sending and deleting messages. An application program accomplishes this by sending the appropriate command escape sequences. The Siemens switch associates these commands with the key strokes required to accomplish sending and deleting messages. The demo program's algorithm can be used in your applications as is, or it can be modified to accomplish other tasks, as detailed in the Siemens manuals. The algorithm shows the basic approach needed to send command escape sequences to Siemens Hicom 150E. The switch "sees" the Dialogic voice board with an appropriate application as an Optiset E phone and expects the correct key strokes to accomplish tasks.

The demo provides the user with three options:

• Open channels on a Dialogic voice board
• Send a message to a selected extension
• Delete a selected message.
