mpautoanswer <yes|no|donotdisturb|get>
Description
This command sets the Auto Answer Multipoint mode which
determines how the system will handle an incoming call in a
multipoint videoconference.
yes If Auto Answer Multipoint is set to Yes, any incoming
call will be connected automatically. The screen will split
into a multipoint call progress screen as the incoming
call is answered.
no User Interface: If Auto Answer Multipoint is set to No
and there is an incoming call, the user will be prompted
with a message “You have a video call. Would you like
to answer?". This message can be followed by a far-site
video number and a far-site name if they are available.
If the user selects Yes, the call will be added into the
ongoing conference. If the user selects No, the call will
be rejected. The factory default is set to No.
API Interface: If Auto Answer Multipoint is set to No,
there is an incoming call, and the user has previously
issued the "listen video" command, the string "listen
video ringing" will be printed in the Telnet session.
donotdisturb If Auto Answer Multipoint is set to donotdisturb, the
user is not notified of the incoming call. The site which
placed the call receives a Far Site Busy code (H.320) or
Call Rejected (H.323).
get Displays the current setting (yes, no, donotdisturb).
Note ViewStation EX: this multipoint option is not available unless
you update your ViewStation EX system to support
multipoint capabilities. For more information, refer to the
ViewStation EX User Guide.
