asterisk users - Jan 2011 - digim tdm2400p fxo fake answer supervision problem.

Hi. I am using Digium TDM2400PFXO with Asterisk1.6. When call sets in the
box , it answers the call even the phone is not picked. ideally it should
answer the call when the phone is picked up. Its charging the clients.
Please let me know how can I cover this ? Thanks in advance.

If you already know the internal extension you are going to dial when a
particular FXO port starts ringing, you do not need to answer the
inbound call before calling Dial() in your dialplan.  The Dial()
application will automatically answer the originating call when the
called party answers before bridging.

Now if you don't know which internal extension you're going to dial you
are out of luck.  You'll have to answer in order to get the DTMF digits
of the extension from the caller.
