Steps for answering Telecommuter (Auto-Answer) calls

To answer a call for this configuration:
1. The agent should answer the telephone and do not return it to the on-hook state for the
remainder of the shift for that agent.
If the telephone is accidentally cut off or placed on-hook, the Avaya communication server
rings the telephone when it has a call to deliver. The agent must answer by picking up the
handset.
2. As with any auto-answer telephone, the Avaya communication server will provide a zip
tone (a beep) to signal that a new call has arrived.
