Placing or Receiving Intercom Calls
You can place an intercom call to a target phone that auto-answers the call in speakerphone mode with mute activated. The one-way intercom call allows you to deliver a short message to the recipient. If the recipient's handset or headset is in use, the audio is sent to the device in use. Any current call activity that your recipient is engaged in continues simultaneously.
The target destination receives an intercom-alert tone and can then choose to:
- Listen to the caller with microphone muted (you can hear the caller, but the caller cannot hear you).
- End the intercom call by pressing the EndCall softkey with the intercom call in focus. Do this if you do not want to hear the message.
- Talk to the caller by pressing the active intercom button and using either the handset, headset or speaker. The intercom call becomes a two-way connection so that you can talk with the caller.
When using the intercom feature, be aware of the following:
Note If you log into your desk phone every day using your Extension Mobility profile, ensure that your system administrator configures your Extension Mobility profile to include the intercom feature.
