[quote]How would I configure that when a call has not
been answered after 5 ringings it goes to the voicemail?[/quote]
Depending on your telco, 5 rings will be about 25 seconds. Your dialplan should look something like this:
; if you are using 1.2 beta
[default]
exten => 271,1,Dial(SIP/MyHardPhone,25)
exten => 271,2,VoiceMail(271,u)
; if you are using 1.0.x
[default]
exten => 271,1,Dial(SIP/MyHardPhone,25)
exten => 271,2,VoiceMail(u271)
The ‘u’ in the VoiceMail arguments selects the unavailable message, which is what I believe you want. Other codes you can see in the Wiki.
Depending on your phone, there may be a voicemail button which can be programmed. Check the Wiki at http://www.voip-info.org/ for details on your phone’s configuration.
As far as setting this up in extensions.conf, you could do the following:
This will auto-connect to the correct mailbox, assuming that voicemail.conf is properly configured. Or, you could leave out the argument to VoiceMailMain, as in rusty’s post, above, and it will prompt for the mailbox number.

How to do the exention what to press on the phone?[/quote]
Have a look at the sample extensions.conf that came with your asterisk installation. You’ll see there’s an extension for voicemail. You just dial that extension and you’re in the voicemail system.
The boxes are in the source code (1.2beta1), in file app_voicemail.c - hard coded as I showed above. If you “press 2 to change folders,” and then select 0-9, it will auto-create the folder as I listed above, with 0 being INBOX and 9 being Cust5.
