Answering Intercom Calls

An intercom call is a call between two system stations. If a speakerphone, your station will receive intercom calls in one of two ways depending upon system programming. In a voice-firstsetting, a short tone followed by the caller’s voice heard on the speaker. With a tone-firstsetting, the telephone rings in a distinctive pattern and the receiving station must take action to answer. Of course, if either station is not speakerphone equipped, all calls will arrive tone-first.

You can block voice-announce calls if you wish. See the discussion titled Blocking Voice Announce Calls for details.
