Using Intercom Call Button Entry
Once the numbers have been programmed for each button, the call buttons are ready to be
used. Visitors will press a call button on the intercom. This will then call the stored primary
phone number. If the call is not answered it will then try the divert number.
When you answer the call you can talk to the visitor at your gate. When you are happy to let
them in you can press the following keys on your phone keypad for different actions.

hangs up the call. To increase the time by a further minute please press the 0 button
on your phone keypad.
Primary & Divert Numbers/Using Voicemail.
The intercom will call the primary number for 30 seconds. If it is not answered it will divert to
the divert number and again ring for 30 seconds. If you are a voicemail user, the voicemail will
answer the call in approximately 15 seconds stopping the call going to the divert number.There
are 2 solutions for this scenario.
Extend the time voicemail will answer to above 30 seconds therefore allowing it to divert
before voicemail answers by using the network specific codes below -

Option 1
In all our examples, the Xxs stand for the number of seconds you’d like the phone to ring for
before voicemail kicks in. So replace the Xxs with 30 to enable your phone to ring for half a
minute before the call diverts. Most providers allow you to increase the time in 5 second
intervals. There are limits as to how long you can make the ring last for. Most providers set a
cap at 40 seconds.
Option 2
By turning dipswitch 5 to on, the intercom will switch the call to the divert number after
approx 14 seconds. This will be before voicemail answers.
