Anybody out there ever use one of these types of phones? I can't get the MWI working. I can get it to work on other analog phones. I've found the documentation for this phone and it has a switch on the back of the phone for different types of MWI. I've tried all of the settings and have even been in touch with their tech support. I know it's a shot in the dark, but I just wanted to put it out there to see if anyone has any experience with this type of phone. Thanks in advnance for any advice.
 
A little more info - I'm trying to get this to work on an IP500 R8.1.
 
From what I could get out of the 8780 manual it should be able to work with a few of those different options on the phone. Just make sure to set up the msg waiting type in the IP Office, under Extensions, Analogue, msg waiting type. I have had some older hotel phones that I had to adjust that setting to get msg waiting to work.
