Incoming Intercom Call Features

Incoming Intercom
By default, the IP phone allows incoming intercom calls to be automatically answered without
having to set up an Icom key on your phone. The phone automatically plays a warning tone
when it receives an incoming intercom call. It also mutes the microphone. If the intercom call
comes into the phone while an active call is already present, the phone puts the active call on
hold and answers the intercom call.
You can change the behavior of how the phone handles incoming intercom calls by enabling/
disabling specific parameters using the Aastra Web UI. The following table describes these
features.

unmute (or hear the intercom call), you disable this feature. "Microphone Mute" is enabled by
default.

Description

phone for Intercom calls made by the originating caller.
Allows you to enable or disable the IP phone to automatically
answer an Intercom call. If auto-answer is enabled on the IP
phone, the phone plays a tone (if "Play Warning Tone" is
enabled) to alert the user before answering the intercom call. If
auto-answer is disabled, the phone rejects the incoming
intercom call and sends a busy signal to the caller.
Note: Your Administrator can set a time period delay before
the phone automatically answers. Contact your System
Administrator for more information.

the phone receives an incoming intercom call on an active line.
