If you are using standard SIP then there is no separate port for the MWI indicator. It is turned on and off via a standard SIP NOTIFY message.

I have a Cisco 7960 phone set up in SIP mode, connected to the Sipgate VoIP service. &nbsp;Does anyone know if it's possible to activate the Message Waiting Indicator on the phone to indicate the new voice mail messages? &nbsp;Sipgate does support this feature, but I have no idea how to activate it on the phone.<br />
<br />
I understand you can set it up in CallManager mode, but I can't seem to find any info when it's in SIP mode.<br />
<br />
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Message Waiting Indicator on Cisco 7960 in SIP mode

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
