[Freeswitch-users] Desktop phone - answer a ringing call via API call

[Weigel, Stefan]

Hi Rob, list,



very funny, it's exactly what I'm trying to do at the moment.



In my dialplan I put:



<action application="export" data="alert_info=aa<http://www.notused.com;info=alert-external;x-line-id=0>"/>



In sip.cfg I put:



 <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="aa" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="3" />

[..]

<AUTO_ANSWER se.rt.3.name="Auto Answer" se.rt.3.type="answer" />



When tracing I can see:



INVITE sip:567 at 192.168.1.1:5060 SIP/2.0

[..]

Alert-Info: <aa>

[..]



The '<>' tags are appended automatically. So I tried to modify sip.cfg a little bit:



<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="&lt;aa&gt;" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="3" />



But it's not working. In the documentation I found a remark:



If set to 1, auto-answer is enabled for all SIP

calls.

Note: This parameter is supported on the

Polycom VVX 1500 only.



So I don't know if this feature will work for SIP calls with my 560.









Thanks and best regards,



Stefan

It looks like Polycoms can be told to "auto answer" with the SIP header "Alert-Info: Ring Answer";



If the "CTI Interface" had the UUID of the call and the extension, then a quick API call or LUA script could add the sip header, then reinvite the phone causing it to answer.



Check out the Paging and Intercom page on the WIKI for more info on the auto answer setup.

However, I think Brian West has a bead on using the expansion port along with an Arduino board to do some manual/remote control of the phone. If anyone has more information on remote controlling Polycoms (or any other phones, for that matter) please let us know.
