The LINEANSWERMODE_Constants are bit-flag constants that describe how an existing active call on a line device is affected by answering another offering call on the same line.

Constant/value

Description

LINEANSWERMODE_NONE

0x00000001

Answering another call on the same line must have no effect on the existing active call on the line.

LINEANSWERMODE_DROP

0x00000002

The currently active call must automatically be dropped.

LINEANSWERMODE_HOLD

0x00000004

The currently active call must automatically be placed on hold.

No extensibility. All 32 bits are reserved.

If a call comes in (is offered) at the time another call is already active, the new call MUST be connected by invoking the Answer packet. The effect this has on the existing active call depends on the device capabilities of the line. The first call can be unaffected, it can be dropped automatically, or it can be placed on hold automatically.
