Announcement/Intercom via System Telephone (InterCom)
This function enables the announcement to a system telephone from any internal telephone
without actively being taken by anyone (e.g. in a doctor’s office). The caller can also order
the system telephone to activate the microphone additionally to the loudspeaker (handsfree
operation). A person who is nearby is able to talk to the caller via this two-way intercom sys-
tem.
For inbound InterCom calls InterCom has to be permitted on the corresponding system tele-
phone (see
page 127 ).
If your system telephone is called with the InterCom function, the system telephone takes the
“call” automatically after a short ringer tone. The announcement or the handsfree operation
is limited to 120 seconds for security reasons to prevent an abuse of this function (e.g. eaves-
dropping in remote rooms). After this time the connection will be interrupted automatically if
the receiver of the system telephone is not picked up within this time frame.
For outbound InterCom calls to other system telephones a key can be defined on the system
telephone to simplify the function. But the function can also be done from any other internal
telephone. The telephone number of the called system telephone has to be preceded by a
digit sequence (see manual of the PBX).
Permit inbound InterCom Calls to the System Telephone (InterCom Authorization)
The function must be permitted on the corresponding system telephone (via configuration
programme COMset or on the telephone itself).
