[Freeswitch-users] Automation of calls?

[Bhavesh Soni]

Hey Markus,
thanks for inputs.
I got your points.

Let me give you some details. I have two boards running freeswitch; Both 
have PSTN number at the back-end. (Presumably these are also SOft SIP 
phone as per my understanding in FS).
So, I want to automate a call between these two guys. Where I want to 
write some scripts, that suppose originate from ENDPOINT A and call to 
ENDPOINT B.
And, then EP B auto-answers the call. (I can take up media path manual; 
One can after picking up calls, speak manually holding Handsets.)

Till now, somehow, using fs_cli originate I am able to DIAL B. But, B 
still has to pick manually.

Now, from your explanation what I think is, you are right in the sense 
of making receiving automatic. I mean, I will have to intervene 
somewhere on receiving endpoint and configure auto-answer somewhere; AM 
I RIGHT? This is what you are trying to explain in the context of 
receive path.

Again thanks for inputs. They are helping.

Regards
Bhavesh
