Answer call from FOP2

Hi,

I think it would be a nice idea if a user can answer to an incoming call with FOP2.
Is it possible to add this new feature to FOP2, please ?

Thanks,

  • Hi,

    It is not possible as FOP2 does not control phones, but controls the Asterisk PBX.

    However, if you have a phone with autoanswer capabilities, you can use sip headers to set the phone to autoanswer. If using FreePBX and fop2admin, you can set the originate channel for extension 100 to be:
    Local/*80100@from-internal
    

    That will use the intercom prefix *80 to dial 100 setting the sip headers to force the phone to auto-answer. It will work when you originate calls from fop2, but not for incoming calls unless the person who is calling dials *80100 in his phone.
  • I thought that this was impossible, but i tried ;)
    Thanks.
  • A really nice solution would be to use Yealink phones and use http command:

    http://[username]:[password]@[IP Adress]/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=[phonenumber]&Account=0

    Needed infomation is Yealink username and password: default it is admin/[empty]
    and ip adress to the phone.
  • Snom phones also provide an http interface for doing that.. I will see if I can come up with some kind of configuration setting to allow sending http commands to phones. If someone sends me a yealink phone to test it would be great ;)
  • Thanks, that would be great :)
