Message-indication testing
First Claim
1. A media gateway for processing message-waiting indications (MWI) signaling, the media gateway comprising:
- a communication interface that communicatively connects a voicemail platform to the media gateway and to customer premise equipment of one or more subscribers; and
a database to track MWI signal information associated with audible or visual notifications requested by the one or more subscribers to the voicemail platform, wherein the database confirms that the media gateway provides a user specified notification to the customer premise equipment of the one or more customers in response to the MWI signal information associated with audible or visual notifications.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system to remotely test message-waiting notifications over a communications network is provided. The method includes receiving broadband signaling from a voicemail platform; converting the broadband signaling to narrowband signaling; and transmitting the narrowband signaling, which generates status notifications, and transmits the status notifications to a remote test location. The system includes a switching element that routes the broadband signaling generated by the voicemail platform. The switching element routes the broadband signaling to a message processing component that executes code that searches a message-waiting-notification database to generate appropriate tones based on the broadband signaling received from the switching element.
