Intercom
(page 211)
A user can press a DSS key as an alternative to dialing Intercom numbers.
Prime Line Preference
(page 274)
With Intercom Prime Line, an idle extension user hears Intercom dial tone whenever they lift the
handset or press
SPEAKER
. Since each extension’s Busy Lamp Field is disabled by default, the Fea-
ture Keys do not go into the DSS mode when the user lifts the handset while idle. (If an outside call is
ringing the phone,
Ringing Line Preference
will normally answer the call when the user lifts the hand-
set — even with Intercom Prime Line enabled.)
