[Asterisk-Users] Call Center Phone with Auto Answer

[Kevin Savoy]

Firstly the auto-answer on both the 301 and 501 phone is set to on, but it
doesn't seem to have an effect. I'll have to look into this _ALERT_INFO
variable. Not much experience with it here. 

Could you give me a dial plan example that would work? Here is what we have
now.

 

exten=>3472,1,Answer()

exten=>3472,2,Wait(1)

exten=>3472,3,Playback(this-call-may-be-monitored-or-recorded)

exten=>3472,4,SetCallerID(ICS)

exten=>3472,5,Queue(ICS)

 

What can I add to this to make the phone auto-answer? Thanks

I don't see any reason you can't use a polycom. You should be able to solve
your problem multiple ways. You can simply put the default ring on the
Polycom to autoanswer if that is the sole purpose, give it a second
extension to be used in the queue that is programmed to autoanswer, as a
couple of examples, or design your dialplan such that the appropriate
_ALERT_INFO variable is set where the queue is concerned.

The problem with what is in wiki is that these calls are being sent to a
queue. There is no way to have the queue dial the preceding digit that I can
think of that would trigger this. In the example shown he has an 8 dialed
before the extension. How would I get Asterisk to dial an 8 before sending
the call to the logged in agent in the queue?

Thanks

My Polycom phones support auto-answer. This link should get you started.
