Intercom Key
By default, the IP phone allows incoming intercom calls to be automatically answered without having to set up an Icom key on your phone. For more information about changing the behavior of incoming Intercom calls, see the section "Incoming Intercom Call Features" on page 129.
Your System Administrator can enable outgoing intercom calls on your phone. If enabled, you must configure an Icom key on your phone to use for outgoing intercom calls.You must configure a programmable key with the function, “Intercom”.
