Intercom
Description
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.
