Is there a more elegant way to tell it to answer/not answer on command?
I don't have an A1200P, but most zap channel interfaces are built to not
answer an incoming call unless you specifically configure asterisk to do it.
There are only two basic conditions under which an incoming call will be
answered:
1. by including the "answer" statement, like:
exten => 3556,1,Answer
exten => 3556,2,Wait,1
exten => 3556,3,Authenticate(3017)
exten => 3556,4,Meetme(3556|pM)
2. a SIP phone (or other phone) user picks up the handset.
So, in zapata.conf you have definitions for each of the A1200P ports,
and one of the items in those definitions is "context=<something>". If
that context statement points to some non-existent context name (like
context=xyz), there is nothing that would answer the incoming call.
If the context=<something> points to a real context (in
extensions.conf), then review that context to ensure there is nothing
there to answer the incoming call. (Note: some asterisk applications
will automatically answer incoming calls.)
You could also define that context and include statements like:
[no-answer]
exten => _X.,1,Hangup
