I am thinking about a making a web based directory that dials a number with one click.>From an overview picture does the below look like the correct way to goabout it: web app sends something like the below call file to asterisk Action: Originate Channel: SIP/1010 Context: demo Exten: 1234 Priority: 1 Callerid: 1212 The main problem is the actual phone must be set to auto answer otherwise SIP/1010 would have to pickup before the call is placed. on Polycom this would be done with the ALERT_INFO = ring-answer with a really short ring time - ALERT_INFO being passed to the phone via SetVar on the above. on CISCO 79xx the only way to do it is setup a new line that autoanswers on the phone and configure each phone to do this manually. - Is this still correct? Thanx for any input.

It basically telnets into the phone and presses the answer key! It works, it might not be pretty, but it works. You do have to be careful though, as you don't want this script to execute if you're currently doing anything on your phone - including talking to someone. -Chris
>'auto-answer' script for the 79XX phones. It basically telnets into the >phone and presses the answer keyThanks Chris I suppose I could make a dial out command via telnet as well for the cisco. Other option I want to try is using agents - this to allow a degree of roaming users - course with the cisco 79xx I reckon they would have to be off hook the whole time... maybe I could using line 2 for this.. anyway worth some experimenting. :) Walt _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/
