      Description

      The default settings on Polycom phones ring once when they are paged befor auto pickup. This is confusing because people often reach for the phone thinking they have a call. It is also redundant because FreePBX plays a beep after pickup. The beep can be disabled, but that doesn't work well on systems with mixed hardware manufacturers.

      Alternatively, SIP-Interop.cfg can be modified to auto-answer without ringing on paging.

      In SIP 5.4.0 (Firmware 1.09) the following section needs to be modified.

      <se.rt.ringAutoAnswer
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.callWait="callWaiting"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.micMute="0"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.name="Ring Auto Answer"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.ringer="ringer2"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.timeout="2000"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.type="ring-answer"
      >
      </se.rt.ringAutoAnswer>

      To change the behavior, delete st.rt.ringAutoAnswer.ringer and st.rt.ringAutoAnswer.timeout and change st.rt.ringAutoAnswer.type to "answer". The resulting config looks like this:

      <se.rt.ringAutoAnswer
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.type="answer"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.callWait="callWaiting"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.micMute="0"
      se.rt.ringAutoAnswer.name="Ring Auto Answer"
      >
      </se.rt.ringAutoAnswer>

      Having a simple GUI way of configuring this with one button would be helpful.
