Answer
mode Manual
Auto
Define whether a trunk is manual or automatic answer.
Auto answer mode allows the trunk to be a shared resource by the system
telephones.
For auto answer trunks being used to allow remote call-in from system users, the
trunk can be configured to answer with a straight dial tone, if DISA has not been
enabled. It can also be configured to answer with a stuttered dial tone if DISA is
enabled and the caller is expected to enter a COS password. The COS password
defines which system features the caller is permitted to access.
Manual answer trunks are assigned to one or more telephones. The assigned
telephones exclusively own the line.
