Intercom operation

Intercom overview

This 1080 telephone is fully compatible with any AT&T Four-Line Small Business System Speakerphone 1070 or 1040 phones you may have installed. You can use a total of 16 1080/1070/1040 phones together as extensions in your phone system.

Each individual phone in your telephone system MUST be assigned a unique extension number for the intercom feature to work. See EXTENSION NUMBER on page 32 of the installation guide for instructions.

This intercom features both a single-phone page and a system-wide page (PAGE ALL).

A single-phone page alerts only one phone. A system-wide page (PAGE ALL) alerts all system phones. Any phone with the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature activated will not receive a page.

An intercom call rings at the destination extension with a repeating double-ring pattern.

A single-phone page automatically activates the speakerphone on the receiving phone. You can deactivate the speakerphone by lifting the handset.

NOTE:

1.If a line is in use, pressing [INTERCOM] will place the line on hold and activate the intercom (page 26).

2.If you subscribe to DSL service, please read DSL users beginning on page 6 of installation guide for information about minimizing problems with this phone caused by DSL signals.
