DESCRIPTION

The TELDNSetAutoAnswer function enables or disables routing of auto-answered incoming calls for the directory number specified by the hTELDN parameter, according to the value passed in the AutoAnswerOn parameter. If AutoAnswerOn is true, the autoAnswerAvail flag of the featureFlags field in the directory number structure is set and all subsequent incoming calls are routed to your application. If AutoAnswerOn is false, the autoAnswerAvail flag of the featureFlags field in the directory number structure is cleared. In addition, when AutoAnswerOn is false, your application's call saver feature is also turned off.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

More than one application can set the Auto-answer feature of a directory number. However, if more than one application sets the Auto-answer feature of a directory number, the telDNSetAutoAnswerMsg message is sent only to the telephone tool for the first application to set that feature.
