	Parameters
	Auto Call /	AutoCall,	The AutoCall option enables the local
	Offhook	Offhook	MultiVOIP to call a remote MultiVOIP
	Alert	Alert	without the user having to dial a Phone
			Directory Database number. As soon as
			you access the local MultiVOIP
			voice/fax channel, the MultiVOIP
			immediately connects to the remote
			MultiVOIP identified in the Phone
			Number box of this option.
			If the “Pass Through Enable” field is
			checked in the Interface Parameters
			screen, AutoCall must be used.
			The Offhook Alert option applies only
			to FXS channels.
			The Offhook Alert option works like
			this: if a phone goes offhook and yet no
			number is dialed within a specific
			period of time (as set in the Offhook
			Alert Timer field), then that phone will
			automatically dial the Alert phone
			number for the voip channel. (The Alert
			phone number must be set in the
			Voice/Fax Parameters Phone Number
			field; if the voip system is working
			without a gatekeeper unit, there must
			also be a matching phone number entry
			in the Outbound Phonebook.). One use
			of this feature would be for emergency
			use where a user goes off hook but does
			not dial, possibly indicating a crisis
			situation. The Offhook Alert feature
			uses the Intercept Tone, as listed in the
			Regional Parameters screen. This tone
			will be outputted on the phone that was
			taken off hook but that did not dial.
			The other end of the connection will
			hear audio from the “crisis” end as is it
			would during a normal phone call.
