Intercom
Description
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 82) for more.
