We've upgraded our cucm over the weekend. Now users with Cisco IP phone 7960 which has side cards are exiencing the following which they were not in cucm 7:
When a call comes in and a user picks up the hand set it automatically answers the call regardles which line was ringing. I verified the Auto Answer setting under Direcotry Number Setting configuration is set to "Auto Answer Off".
How do I turn off this auto answer please? other than setting the Auto Answer Off in the DN setting.
Thank you,
AW

Hi AW,
This is where I would look;
Set the Always Use Prime Line parameter to True in Cisco CallManager. Because this parameter is clusterwide, any change affects all the phones. There is no interruption to the call handling and no need to restart any service or reboot the Cisco CallManager server.
In order to change this parameter, log in to the Cisco CallManager Administration page and perform these steps:
From the Service menu, choose Service Parameters.
Choose Publisher CallManager Server > Cisco CallManager service.
Under the Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) section, scroll down to the Always Use Prime Line parameter, choose True for this parameter, and click Update.
Note: The default value for the Always Use Prime Line parameter is False. If the flag is set to True, when the phone goes off-hook or the speaker button is pressed, then the primary line is chosen and becomes the active line. If a call comes in on the second line of a user, going off-hook makes only the first line active. In this case, the user must select the second line in order to answer the call. If the flag is set to False, the phone automatically chooses a line as the active line based on the line status.
