Configurable Endpoint For Auto-Answer And Forced Answer

25.0

23.0, 24.0

AS

This feature introduces a new user-level configuration to select a device endpoint as the preferred answer endpoint for Auto-Answer and Forced Answer. This device endpoint is used in the following cases:

  • For auto-answer, which makes use of the answer-after parameter in the Call-Info header of the SIP INVITE. This is typically invoked for Click to Dial scenarios from a call control client.

  • When forcing answer using the Cisco BroadWorks remote control talk events package. This is typically used when call control clients attempt to force answer on an incoming call in the alerting state.

Configurable Error Response for SIP INVITE Race Condition Feature Description

2024.03

AS

The purpose of the feature is to allow the system operator to configure the error response for a specific race condition. This race condition occurs when the AS receives a re-INVITE while the SIP ACK that follows the 200 OK response for the initial INVITE is pending on the dialog. Currently, the AS responds with 500 Race Condition error when encountering this scenario. For certain network infrastructures to function properly, a 491 Request Pending error response is required. This feature enhances the Cisco BroadWorks Application Server to support 491 Request Pending for the above-mentioned race condition.

Enhanced Handling of SIP Privacy:id Header Feature Description

2024.04
