Using phones as intercoms
Use this procedure to make communications quicker and easier for users who
frequently call each other. With the intercom feature, you can allow one user to
call another user in a predefined group just by pressing a couple of buttons. You
can even administer a button that always calls a predefined extension when
pressed.
Instructions
Administering the intercom feature is a 2-step process. First, you create an
intercom group and assign extensions to it. Then, to allow group members to
make intercom calls to each other, you administer feature buttons on their phones
for automatic intercom, dial intercom, or both. This section also provides
instructions for allowing one user to pick up another user’s intercom calls.
In this example, we’ll create intercom group 1 and add extensions 2010 to 2014.
1. Type
add intercom-group 1 and press RETURN.
The Intercom Group screen appears.
2. Type
