[cisco-voip] MWI for non-primary DNs

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Alternate MWIs is definitely the answer here, however, it can lead to confusion. 

Take extension 1234 with a personal voicemail box. When someone leaves a message on 1234, 1234 gets a light. 

Take extension 5678 with a departmental voicemail box. When someone leaves a message on 5678, 1234 gets a light. 

When 1234 pushes the messages button, they automatically get their voicemail box. 

If 1234 has a light, do they check their voicemail box or the departmental voicemail box? They likely have to do both sometimes. 

It _might_ be handy, if their are lines available, to put a different extension on that phone to match the voicemail box.

You add a Message Waiting Indicator for the other lines you want to show up. So on the non primary mailbox is where you put it. 

Thanks,
