Auto Answer Intercom
Other Multiline Telephones
0
Auto Answer Intercom cannot be used on MLX telephones, cordless telephones,
or wireless telephones.
Single-Line Telephones
0
Auto Answer Intercom cannot be used on single-line telephones, whether or not
they have speakerphones.
Some single-line telephones (such as the 8110) have their own telephone-based
Auto Answer feature, which can be used with a Release 4.0 or later MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System.
Considerations and Constraints
0
Auto Answer All should be used instead of Auto Answer Intercom to allow an
answering device to answer intercom calls. Auto Answer Intercom can cause
intercom calls to be dropped.
When Auto Answer Intercom is activated in Hybrid/PBX mode and a call is
received on an SA button, the HFU turns on, even if the button is programmed for
Delay Ring or No Ring.
Feature Interactions
0
Auto Answer All
Both Auto Answer All and Auto Answer Intercom can be programmed on
the same telephone, but they cannot be used at the same time.
Coverage
Auto Answer Intercom does not allow a receiver with an analog multiline
telephone to use an HFU to answer calls received on a Primary Cover,
Secondary Cover, or Group Cover button.
Primary Rate Interface
(PRI) and T1
Incoming calls on a line that is a member of a B-channel group
programmed for routing by dial plan are not eligible for answer by
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI).
System Access/
Intercom Buttons
When Auto Answer Intercom is activated, the Hands-Free Unit (HFU)
answers inside calls received on an SA button. The HFU does not answer
calls on a Shared SA button.
