Intercom
Use Intercom to call any co-worker.
Intercom gives extension users access to other extensions. This provides the system with complete internal
calling capability.
Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by speak-
ing toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who
don't have a free hand to pick up the handset. Incoming Intercom calls alert with two beeps if the extension
has Handsfree Answerback — a single beep if it does not.
Forced Intercom Ringing causes an Intercom call to ring the destination extension. You can enable Forced
Intercom Ringing system-wide (for all extensions), or a user can dial a code to have their Intercom call ring
the destination.
For more on setting up Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing, see Handsfree and Handsfree
Answerback (page 47) for more.
Key Ring
So they are not forgotten, unanswered calls automatically ring co-worker's extensions.
A Key Ring line rings an extension according to the settings in system programming. Multiple extensions
can be enabled to ring immediately or after a programmed delay for each incoming line call. In addition,
under certain conditions other types of outside calls divert to Key Ring if unanswered. The following condi-
tions also initiate Key Ring:
Direct Inward Line
❥
An unanswered DIL diverts to Key Ring if unanswered at the extension to which it is terminated.
Hold
❥
Calls left on Hold too long recall the extensions that initially placed them on Hold. If still unanswered,
they divert to Key Ring.
Park
❥
Calls parked in orbit recall the extension that initially parked them. If unanswered, the call diverts to
Key Ring.
Transfer
❥
An unanswered Transfer recalls the extension that initially transferred it. If still unanswered, the line
diverts to Key Ring.
Language Selection
Set up a telephone to show displays and soft keys in English or Spanish.
Language Selection provides telephone displays for soft keys and system programming in English and Span-
ish. You can select the language for each extension in system programming, or the extension user can choose
their language via the soft keys. Language Selection allows the system to easily accommodate bilingual
installations (English and Spanish). The telephone user can have their telephone display the language with
which they are most comfortable.
