[asterisk-users] Working Config for Polycom VVX and Auto Answer
Hi - Just wondering if anyone has gotten a Polycom VVX phone to successfully do an Auto Answer with asterisk. I have an older generation of Polycom phones that do this just fine, but I can't seem to make the VVX phones work. I tried the guide here: http://community.polycom.com/t5/VoIP/FAQ-How-can-I-change-my-Ringtone-or-Ring-in-a-special-manner-for/td-p/5167 And I have this in my diaplan: exten = _8XX,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: info=ringAutoAnswer) exten = _8XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1},20,tk) But whenever I attempt a call to a matching exten, it just rings normally for the 20 seconds I have indicated here and never answers. I found a setting in the phone's GUI: "Auto Answer SIP Calls". When I set this to "Yes". It will auto answer, but it auto answers ALL calls, not just ones with the Alert-Info header set. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks! Noah

I must have mistyped something the first time around because it is now working with the exact settings I describe above.
