Incoming Intercom Call Features

Incoming Intercom

By default, the IP phone allows incoming intercom calls to be automatically answered without having to set up an Icom key on your phone. The phone automatically plays a warning tone when it receives an incoming intercom call. It also mutes the microphone. If the intercom call comes into the phone while an active call is already present, the phone puts the active call on hold and answers the intercom call.

You can change the behavior of how the phone handles incoming intercom calls by enabling/disabling specific parame- ters using the Aastra Web UI. The following table describes these features.

Incoming Intercom Features in Aastra	Description
Web UI
Microphone Mute	Allows you to enable or disable the microphone on the IP phone for
	Intercom calls made by the originating caller.
Auto Answer	Allows you to enable or disable the IP phone to automatically answer
	an Intercom call. If auto-answer is enabled on the IP phone, the
	phone plays a tone (if "Play Warning Tone" is enabled) to alert the
	user 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.
	Your Administrator can set a time period delay before the phone
	automatically answers. Contact your System Administrator for more
	information.
Play Warning Tone	Allows you to enable or disable a warning tone to play when the
	phone receives an incoming intercom call on an active line.
Allow Barge In	Allows you to enable or disable how the phone handles incoming
	intercom calls while the phone is on an active call.

Microphone Mute

You can mute or unmute the microphone on the IP phone for intercom calls made by the originating caller. If you want to mute the intercom call, you enable this feature. If you want to unmute (or hear the intercom call), you disable this fea- ture. "Microphone Mute" is enabled by default.

Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone

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.

Note:

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

Allow Barge In

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.
