[asterisk-users] cisco 7940 and auto-answer (aastra 480i vs 7940)

[Julian Lyndon-Smith]

Having scoured the web, I still am no better off ..

I have 2 Aastra480i's , and 120+ cisco 7940's :) . I am trying to decide 
which model to use going forward when we purchase more kit. They both 
seem much on a par regarding features.

Q1: Is there anyway of making the cisco auto-answer _without_ having to 
manually edit the configuration on each phone ? I've been able to get 
the 480i to auto-answer by putting

SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: \;info=alert-autoanswer)

into the dialplan. But it doesn't work with the cisco phones.

Q2: Is there any real difference between the 480i and 9112 / 9113 phones 
apart from number of lines and display size ?

Julian.
