[Asterisk-Users] Call Center Phone with Auto Answer

[Steve Totaro]

Does the phone ring, just not auto-answer?

 

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

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.
