I was just wondering if ANYONE was ever able to answer an incoming SIP call by just issuing a RequestAnswerCall command. I know that it does not make sense because you also need to control SIP endpoint and thus instruct SIP to answer as well; however, overall, isn’t there some way to make SIP server somehow magically force the end point to answer without us dabbing in SIP protocol?
I know it is an unreasonable demand, but I really would love to know what can be done!
In training we installed the genesys sip endpoint and with it we answered with GAD the call arrived to us. I didn’t understand very well how it was done…
Vendors who for sure are currently supporting Broadsoft Extensions:
Polycom - hardphones
Snom - hardphones
Counterpath (Bria PRO) - softphone
..there are others but not in my head right now :-\
GAD does exhibit this behaviour with its own SIP endpoint - but does not use this specific SIP extension to answer the call - there is a proprietary mechanism from GAD browser to the SIP endpoint to tell it to go offhook.
