Administering Deskphone Options
For a number having bridged call appearances, you can configure the response of the auto-answer
feature for an incoming call based on settings for new parameters AUTOANSSTAT and
AUTOANSSTRING. You can also specify whether the deskphone will alert audibly with auto-
answering calls using AUTOANSALERT.
You can also configure auto-answer for the incoming call, based on the numbers having a fixed
VDN name. You can configure auto-answer not to occur for calls arriving from unidentified numbers
or DIDs.
You can configure these parameters in the 46xxsettings file.
AUTOANSSTAT
Parameter name and default value: AUTOANSSTAT ('0')
Valid values: 1 ASCII numeric digit, '0' through '4'
Usage: Specifies whether the deskphone will auto-answer incoming calls or not.
Note:
AUTOANSSTAT is independent of any call center parameter or status, it functions regardless of
whether an agent is logged in or not.
AUTOANSSTRING
Parameter Name and (default value): AUTOANSSTRING('')
Valid Values: 0-15 ASCII characters
Usage: Specifies the name that must match with the incoming VDN name to auto-answer. The
incoming VDN name can be longer but the vector matches only the first 15 characters.
AUTOANSALERT
Parameter Name and (default value): AUTOANSALERT ('0')
Valid Values: 1 ASCII numeric digit, '0' and '1'
Usage: Specifies whether the deskphone will audibly alert with auto-answering calls.
Note:
If AUTOANSALERT is 0, the deskphone will not provide audible alerting when auto-answering a
call, regardless of any other setting (e.g. AUDASYS). Similarly if AUTOANSALERT is 1, the
deskphone will provide audible alerting when auto-answering a call, if and only if the phone is
administered to provide audible alerting at all, for example by user Volume setting.
Scenarios addressed using the parameters
You can configure these parameters to address the following scenarios for an incoming call on
primary appearance A and a bridged appearance B:
Note:
To avoid conflicts when using Phone-based conditional auto-answer, configure auto-answer
settings on CM to none.
