asterisk users - Jun 2010 - sip add header

It seems that for local channels (asterisk 1.4.33)  the variable
Variable: SIPADDHEADER="Alert-Info: Ring Answer"
(call polycom phones and ring then auto answer)

Is ignored, Is this just an oversite or is there some reason?

It works fine with I call the SIP phone directly - however -
when I first call the Local channel - then Dial the SIP phone
the SIPADDHEADER doesnt seem to do anything.

Thanks,

Jerry

Are you adding the header before or after you dial the local channel?

Have you tried adding an underscore?

Set(_SIPADDHEADER="Alert-Info: Ring Answer")

Without the underscore, the variable won't be inherited by the Local
channel.  Also, look up the /n option to the Local channel.  That may
affect it, but I can't say how off the top of my head.
