Configuring Phone Based Auto-Answer - Avaya J169 Installing And Administering

• Handset equalization options are effected in the following order:
1. The deskphone uses the User Option value if selected and saved.
2. If a Local Procedure value was selected and saved, the deskphone uses the local
Procedure value.
3. If a Settings file value is specified and saved the deskphone uses that value.
4. If none of the above options are set, the deskphone uses Handset equalization that is
optimized for TIA-810/920 acoustic performance.
Note:
The options Default, Audio Opt , HAC Opt and Amplified that are available for Handset
equalization are mutually exclusive, meaning only one can be activated at a time.

Configuring phone based auto-answer

You can configure the auto-answer feature through the settings file now. Earlier, you could
configure auto-answer through the Communication Manager only. For an incoming call, the auto-
answer feature plays a zip tone to alert the agent and automatically activates the headset button
and answers the call.
Note:
The deskphone plays the zip tone only for the deskphone user and the caller cannot hear it,
also, the phone user cannot hear any audio from the caller until the zip tone completes.
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.
