The Parking Lot button in the display Panel will light up and show there is a parked call when I send the call to the parking lot from the phone that originally picked up the call.
However, as soon as I hang up that phone, the Parking Lot button returns to nothing being shown.
The call is still parked and I can pickup the parked call by dialling 55556, as usual, but the Parking Lot button shows nothing while I am waiting for someone to pickup.
Problem solved, and it was not the fault of FOP2
I had been testing the functionality of the FOP2 Panel by dialing an Aastra phone and Parking the call.
When you use the built-in Park function of the Aastra phone, it creates a bridge between the incoming and outgoing calls (to the Parking Lot) instead of transferrring the incoming call to the parking lot. So when you hang up the Aastra phone, it must send a disconnect signal to FOP2.
When I instead used Blind Transfer from the Aastra phone to the Parking Lot, everything in FOP2 worked fine, with the Parking Lot button showing the call placed into the Parking Lot and continuing to show it there until the Parking Lot was picked up or timed out and transferred back to the phone.
So, moral of the story, use a blind transfer to go to the Parking Lot, NOT a bridge/conference.
Since I was only using FOP2 to monitor the status of my Lines/Trunk/Conferences/ParkingLot , I did not need the [fop2-park] context added to the dialplan on the Asterisk server, which for me is good since it allows me to keep the Asterisk server installation clean, which I like.
Thank you @nicolas for making this product and architecting it in a way that could be configured in non-standard (ie Wazo) installations.
