Appendix A - Intercom (Push-To-Talk)
Using a Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server, an auto-answer feature, intercom, is avail-
able, making it possible to use intercom and loudspeaker calls if numbers for intercom groups are
defined on the SIP PBX.
Activation of Intercom using Headers
If an INVITE with an
Alert-Info
header, a
Call-Info
header or an
Answer-Mode
header is received,
it is possible to make a Spectralink DECT Handset automatically answer the call, mute the micro-
phone and turn on speakerphone.
Note:
The reason for handling several headers for activating the Push-to-Talk feature is that dif-
ferent SIP PBXs have different default implementations.
The following list of headers will activate intercom (auto-answer) when sent from the SIP PBX to the
Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server:
l
Alert-Info: Auto Answer
l
Alert-Info: info=alert-autoanswer
l
Alert-Info: Ring Answer
l
Alert-Info: info=RingAnswer
l
Alert-Info: Intercom
l
Alert-Info: info=intercom
l
Call-Info: =\;answer-after=0
l
Call-Info: ;answer-after=0
l
Answer-Mode: Auto (This is according to RFC 5373)
Note:
The
Alert-Info
header can also be used to control external/internal ring pattern. This fea-
ture is not affected by the addition of the loudspeaker call feature.
The following
Alert-Info
headers can be used to enable internal ringing (external ringing
is default).
l
Alert-Info: <internal>
l
Alert-Info: <alert-internal>
l
Alert-Info: internal
l
Alert-Info: alert-internal
