Definition

User Interface: For an incoming call, the user will be
notified and given the choice to answer the call. This
message can be followed by a far-site video number and
name if they are available. If the user selects Yes, the call
is added into the ongoing conference. If the user selects
No, the call is rejected. The factory default is set to No.
API: For an incoming call, if mpautoanswer is set to No
and the listen video command returns the string
"listen video ringing" in the session.

You are not notified of incoming calls. Sites placing calls
to the system receive a Far Site Busy code (H.320) or
Call Rejected (H.323).
