Answer( )

Answers a channel, if it is ringing

---

 Answer(  ) 

Causes Asterisk to answer the channel if it is currently ringing. If the current channel is not ringing, this application does nothing.

It is usually a good idea to use Answer( ) on the channel before calling any other applications, unless you have a very good reason not to. Most applications require that the channel be answered before they are called, and may not work correctly otherwise .

Returns unless it tries to answer the channel and fails.
