[Asterisk-java-users] Phone Auto Answer

[Wayne M. <way...@th...>]

Hi all,

I wrote an application using Asterisk Java a few years back but it never 
got past the prototyping stage.  Long story short we're now revisiting 
this solution with a view to implementation but I'm having trouble 
making the phones auto answer a call.

I know it can be done as we've had several commercial systems that demo 
this, I just can't figure out where you do this in Asterisk Java.

Doing a simple OriginateAction (or RedirectAction) will successfully 
make the phones ring but you have to manually pick up the phone to 
answer the call.  I'm not sure whether there is some sort of special 
Asterisk command I can send or whether I need to craft a special packet 
to the IP Phones themselves in order to make them answer.

We currently use a whole bunch of Cisco Linksys 921s and 303s which will 
auto answer but I can't find documentation on this so any hints would be 
appreciated.

Regards,

Wayne
