    void

answer

Copy URL
answer(extraHeaders: 
{[header: string]: string}
, parameters: 
VoxEngine.AnswerParameters

Parameters

  • extraHeaders:

    {[header: string]: string}

    Optional

    Optional custom parameters (SIP headers) that should be passed with an answer message. Custom header names have to begin with the 'X-' prefix. The "X-" headers could be handled by a SIP phone or WEB SDK (e.g. see the Connected event). Example: {'X-header':'value'}

callerid

Copy URL
callerid(): 
string

customData

Copy URL

Additionally, the customData value could be sent from WEB/iOS/Android SDKs, and then it became the customData value in the Call object. Note that if you received some value from SDK, you could always replace it manually. SDKs can pass customData in two ways:
1) when SDK calls to the Voximplant cloud
2) when SDK answers to the call from the Voximplant cloud. See the syntax and details in the appropriate references: WEB SDK call() / WEB SDK answer() / iOS call:settings: / iOS answerWithSettings / Android call / Android answer()

playProgressTone

Copy URL
playProgressTone(country: 
string
): 
void

Provides country-specific progress tones. The method sends a command to the Voximplant cloud to start playing progress tones in the call. So the progress tones totally depend on the Voximplant cloud. Note that in order to work properly in a call that is not connected yet, you need to call the Call.startEarlyMedia method before using this function. IMPORTANT: each call object can send media to any number of other calls (media units), but can receive only one audio stream. A new inbound stream always replaces the previous one.

Parameters

  • country:

    string

    2-letter country code. Currently supported values are US, RU.

Returns

  • type:

    void

record

Parameters

Returns

  • type:

    void

reject

Copy URL
reject(code: 
number
, extraHeaders: 
{[header: string]: string}
): 
void

Reject an inbound call. Firstly it triggers the CallEvents.Disconnected event immediately. The AppEvents.Terminating and AppEvents.Terminated events are triggered in 60 seconds.

Parameters

  • code:

    number

    SIP status code with the rejection reason. You can pass any standard SIP code starting with 3xx, 4xx, 5xx and 6xx as a reject reason.

  • extraHeaders:

    {[header: string]: string}

    Optional

    Optional custom parameters (SIP headers) that should be passed with an answer message. Custom header names have to begin with the 'X-' prefix. The "X-" headers could be handled by a SIP phone or WEB SDK (e.g. see the incomingCall event). Example: {'X-header':'value'}

Returns

  • type:

    void

removeEventListener

Copy URL
removeEventListener(event: 
CallEvents
, callback: 
Function

Parameters

Returns

  • type:

    void

ring

Copy URL
ring(extraHeaders: 
{[header: string]: string}
): 
void

Provides progress tones for the inbound call. The method sends a low-level command to the endpoint device to start playing progress tones in the call. So the progress tones depend on endpoint device's behavior rather than the Voximplant cloud. IMPORTANT: each call object can send media to any number of other calls (media units), but can receive only one audio stream. A new inbound stream always replaces the previous one.

Parameters

  • extraHeaders:

    {[header: string]: string}

    Optional

    Optional custom parameters (SIP headers) that should be passed with the message. Custom header names have to begin with the 'X-' prefix. The "X-" headers could be handled by a SIP phone or WEB SDK (e.g. see the incomingCall event). Example: {'X-header':'value'}
