Internal Automatic Answer
Internal Automatic Answer (IAA) provides convenient hands-free answering of 
internal calls to users on multifunction stations with a speakerphone or a 
headphone. 
Detailed description
An eligible call can be answered automatically via IAA if the user activates IAA 
at the answering telephone and the user is able to accept an incoming call. A 
telephone is unable to accept an incoming call if it is off-hook, is in the process of 
dialing digits, or has a call on hold.
The following internal calls are eligible for IAA, depending on how you 
administer the Internal Auto-Answer of Attd-Extended/Transferred Calls field on 
the Feature-Related System Parameters screen:
Station-to-station voice calls, with both telephones on the same switch 
(includes redirected intraswitch calls). Set the Internal Auto-Answer of 
Attd-Extended/Transferred Calls field to 
transferred
 or 
both
.
Internal call from another switch node in a Distributed Communications 
System (DCS) configuration when the origin of the call is known to be an 
internal, non-attendant telephone on that switch (includes redirected 
inter-DCS calls). Set the Internal Auto-Answer of 
Attd-Extended/Transferred Calls field to 
transferred
 or 
both
.
Attendant-extended external calls. Set the Internal Auto-Answer of 
Attd-Extended/Transferred Calls field to 
attd-extended
 or 
both
.

Calls from public-network trunks (including personal central office line 
(PCOL))
