Model 6751i IP Phone User Guide

 

The auto-answer feature on the IP phone allows you to enable or disable automatic answering 
for an Intercom call. If “Auto-Answer” is enabled, the phone automatically answers an incoming 
intercom call. If “Play Warning Tone” is also enabled, the phone plays a tone to alert you 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. 
"Auto-Answer" and "Play Warning Tone" are enabled by default.

You can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call to interrupt an 
active call. The “Allow Barge In” parameter controls this feature. When you enable the this 
parameter, which is the default value, an incoming intercom call takes precedence over any 
active call, by placing the active call on hold and automatically answering the intercom call. 
When you disable this parameter, and there is an active call, the phone treats an incoming 
intercom call like a normal call and plays the call warning tone. "Allow Barge In" is enabled by 
default.

Use the following procedure to configure incoming Intercom settings on the IP phone.

1. Click on Basic Settings->Preferences->Incoming Intercom Settings.

2. The "Auto-Answer" field is enabled by default. The automatic answering feature is turned 

on for the IP phone for answering Intercom calls. To disable this field, uncheck the box.

Note: Your Administrator can set a time period delay before the phone 
automatically answers. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
