Intercom Buttons
Both Auto Answer All and Auto Answer Intercom can be
programmed on the same telephone, but they cannot be used at the
same time.
Auto Answer Intercom prevents a receiver on an analog multiline
telephone from using a Hands-Free Unit (HFU) to answer calls
received on a Primary Cover, Secondary Cover, or Group Cover
button.
Incoming calls on a line that is a member of a B-channel group
programmed for routing by dial plan cannot be answered by HFAI.
In Release 6.1 and later systems, calls answered by using Auto
Answer Intercom can be observed. Calls answered by using HFAI
can be observed.
When you activate Auto Answer Intercom, the Hands-Free Unit
(HFU) answers inside calls received on an SA button. The HFU
does not answer calls on a Shared SA button.
