Specifying the Directory Number for Intercom
When enabling the feature, you must specify a Directory Number, which when used by the screener to call the recipient activates the intercom automatically. All recipients can specify the same Directory Number, for all Call Appearance Intercom calls. Normal calls can still be made from this Directory Number to numbers not set up for intercom. Up to three Directory Numbers may be programmed.
When specifying the Directory Number for intercom, you can enter just the extension number of the call screener or the complete number. For example, for a call screener at
3112 or 926*3112
The extension number alone works because the recipient digital set matches the specified and incoming numbers from right to left, stopping after the number of digits entered during the setup. Entering the full number negates the possibility that an outside call with the same last four digits in the calling number (for example,
The asterisk in the number 926*3112 is a wild card. The digital set accepts any character in this position. You need the wild card to represent the dash (- ) if a dash is included in the number delivered with an incoming call. If you are in doubt, have the person who will be screening calls call you, and note the number displayed on the first line of the LCD.
The set supports up to three numbers for screeners. To have more than three screeners, use * as a wild card. For example, entering 311* allows both the Directory Numbers 3112 and 3115 to activate the intercom. Remember, however, that all other Directory Numbers from 3110 to 3119 would also activate the intercom.
Required Support from Your System Administrator
To guarantee that Directory Numbers are always available for Call Announce Intercom, the System Administrator should:
∙Allocate one Directory Number on the digital sets of both recipients and screener for outgoing calls.
