 No. You cannot force the connected device (phone) to auto-answer.
 Imagine you have a plain old phone attached to it, who's going to lift
 the receiver?

Yep, I guess even if the ATA could simulate the
change from 3 MOhms to 600 Ohms, the phone needs
to flip a switch internally.  Oh well.

There are, or were, Telecom devices that would connect to a station 
line, auto answer and bridge the audio to a paging amplifier with 
configurable timeout that would do what you want.

ValCom and Viking come to mind.

[asterisk-users] Paging possible on an ATA?

2007-10-10 Thread Doug 
We've got our Polycom phones auto-answering
for paging.

Is it possible to configure a PAP2 to
auto-answer for either paging or intercom?

If so, how?
