Elastix Call Center Module "How to disable Agent Auto Answer?"

Question

I have Elastix Version 2.4 and Call Center Module

The default behavior for the an Agent logged into a queue is: Call from inbound route ---->if an agent is available--->the agent hears a beep and the call is started.

"How to disable Agent Auto Answer?": Can I change this behavior to : Call from inbound route ---->if an agent is available---> ring the agent phone

Answer 1

Yes, for that you need use static or callback agents (not call agent to queue).

In agents.conf file and add this paramters:

ackcall=yes ; this will make the agent accept or refuse the call before the channel is opened
acceptdtmf=#; the key agent press to accept the call
