Polycom does not auto answer intercom during MakeCall

[VDiesel]

Hi,
We're having an issue with V10 where MakeCall does not work properly with our Polycom phones.

The client call assistant has the options checked for both 'Use Deskphone' and 'Use Intercom'.
When you call a contact from Outlook the deskphone rings via MakeCall, but keeps ringing until you answer the call manually rather than the expected autoanswer intercom behavior.

When dialing *9extnbr the Polycom's intercom autoanswer works just fine.

Please help.

You will have to push the make call button manually for the intercom, I believe there is no way to change that in 3cx. There is another post in the forums on this topic you may want to search for it. If i can find it I'll post the link.

Here is the link, you will have to use the make call manual answer button or continue to dial 9ext as the work around.

On the MyPhone client Preferences tab, Dialing section;

'Call Deskphone' - PBX will call your deskphone and establish call (this setting intiates the makecall and sends it to the deskphone)

There is an additional checkbox below this setting;

- 'Use intercom' when calling' (this setting is supposed to initiate the intercom function during the makecall which should trigger the deskphone to autoanswer on speakerphone, just like it does when it's called by intercom directly *9extnbr.

You should not have to manually answer the call if the Use intercom function is checked on.
Are you saying the feature is broken?

p.s. I'm not able to access your link.

I don't understand what you mean by 'continue to dial 9ext'. This is not possible when calling a contact from Outlook. 3CX uses makecall for this without any user intervention.

I'm sorry that link was in the partner forum, I know of no other way than to manually answer when you are using the intercom unless you dial 9ext from your desk. So you will have to continue to manually answer when using intercom, maybe someone else knows a way to make the call automatically answer when using the intercom however I do not nor I have read about it in any of the forums.
