Call far end types

class UASCallChannel

class CallFarEndType

The call connection type indicates whether the connection is probably to a live speaker or to a machine. The far end type is returned in the call details.

Call connection types:

LIVE

probably connected to a live speaker.

ANSWER_MACHINE

probably connected to a answering machine.

FAX_MACHINE

probably connected to a fax machine.

UNKNOWN

the classification could not be made in time. This is also the default setting.

If the result of the detection is ANSWER_MACHINE, you can leave a message by playing a file. However, in order for the message to be recorded correctly, you will have to wait for the answering machine’s message to complete. You can call the wait_for_answer_machine method to do this.

Usage example:

state = channel.call('sip:1234@127.0.0.1:5060;user=phone'
                     live_speaker_detect=channel.LiveSpeakerDetectionSettings.DEFAULT)
if state == channel.State.ANSWERED:
    # might be a fax machine
    if channel.Details.far_end_type == channel.CallFarEndType.FAX_MACHINE:
        pass
