Intercom Calling

Revised April 2000

DBS 824-3.0/3.2-700

  5-24

• DND and Absence Messages cancel Call Forwarding.

Calls to an extension with DND or Absence Message turned on are treated 
differently, depending on whether they are trunk or intercom calls. 
Intercom calls receive busy tone; trunk calls are routed to the extension 
defined in permanent call forwarding.

The following types of incoming trunk calls will follow permanent call 
forward settings:

-  Direct trunk calls

-  Transferred trunk calls.

• The DND feature cannot be activated at an extension selected to receive 

Call Forwarding.

(CPC-S and CPC-M)

The DBS 824 provides two methods of intercom calling: voice calling and 
tone calling. 

Voice Calling. With voice calling, intercom calls are connected 
immediately, without a ringing tone.

Tone Calling. With tone calls, a ringing tone is sent to the called extension.

System programming determines whether the DBS 824 uses voice or tone 
calling as a default. If voice calling is the default, dialing a “1” after the 
extension number changes the call to a tone call. If tone calling is the default, 
dialing a “1” results in a voice call.

1.  Lift the handset.

2.  Dial the extension number.

3.  If the system default is tone calling, dial a “1.”
