I am using PIAF 1.7.5.6 and Fop2. I want my agents to be able to dial from Fop2 and not have to push the answer button every time. I read the part in the manual for Originate Channel.

originatechannel (2.10)
This channel/device will be used when originating calls from this device. For example, if you want your calls to be autoanswered and you are using FreePBX default *80 prefix for that, you can set this parameter to: Local/*80{EXTEN}@from-internal.

I tried this "Local/*803010@from-internal" and it is not working. The Fop2 is acting like it's not doing anything with this option enabled. I don't see anything in the asterisk console or anything. I take the option back off and Fop2 works again just no auto answer. If I dial *80ext from another phone that phone picks right up so I know *80 is working.

Any help?
