View source for Auto Answer (Private/Open)

{{P}}
In a PULSE System the '''Auto Answer''' (Private/Open mode) determines if a call should be ringing until the user accepts the call, or if the call should connect automatically without any ringing signal. When ringing, the user can accept the call by pressing the [[M-key]] or by lifting the handset.

There are different ways to configure the Auto Answer:
* Toggle by pressing the C-Key
* From the display menu of the station
* From the web interface of the Pulse server

If you want to set a call in permanent Private Mode, see [[Private - Set Always Private]].

==Toggle AutoAnswer by C-Key==
Every time the "C-key" is pressed for more than 3 seconds, the station will toggle between AutoAnswer = Off (Private mode) and AutoAnswer = On (Open mode).


== Set AutoAnswer from display menu ==
On a display station select the button "Menu" under the display.

Use the navigation buttons to select AutoAnswer '''On''' or '''Off'''.

When AutoAnswer is ON, and the '''Time''' setting = 0, the call will connect immediately. It is possible to delay the connection be setting a time (in seconds). An incoming call will then ring for the set time, then automatically connect.

Save the settings when exiting the menus.

Autoanswer is set in '''Server Management''' -> '''Server Configuration''' -> '''Call and Audio Settings'''. Here you can also define how many seconds before Auto Answer.
