Usage Guidelines
This command enables headset auto-answer on a particular line. A line, as used in this command, is not identical to a phone button. A line, as used in this command, represents the ability for a call connection on this phone, and the line numbers generally follow a top-to-bottom sequence starting with the number 1.
The following examples represent common situations pertaining to a button:line relationship:
- button 1:1—A single ephone-dn is associated with a single ephone button. Counts as one line.
- button 1o1,2,3,4,5—Five ephone-dns are overlaid on a single ephone button. Counts as one line.
- button 2x1—An ephone button acts as an extension for an overlaid ephone button. Counts as one line.
- Button is unoccupied or programmed for speed-dial. Does not count as a line.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable headset auto-answer for line 1 (button 1) and line 4 (button 4), which has overlaid ephone-dns but counts as a single line in this context. In this example, four (1, 2, 3, and 4) buttons are defined for ephone 3.

The following example shows how to enable headset auto-answer for line 2 (button 2), which has overlaid ephone-dns, and line 3 (button 3), which is an overlay rollover line. In this example, three (1, 2, and 3) buttons are defined for ephone 17.
