Additional Features
Incoming Intercom Calls and Auto-Answer
A feature on the 53i IP phone allows you to set intercom settings and
automatic answering for incoming intercom calls.
On incoming intercom calls, you can enable (turn ON) or disable (turn
OFF) the microphone on the IP phone. You can also enable or disable
“Auto-Answer” and “Play Warning Tone” for incoming intercom calls.
If “Auto-Answer” is enabled, the phone automatically answers an
incoming intercom call. If “Play Warning Tone” is also enabled, the phone
plays a tone to alert the user before answering the intercom call. If “Auto-
Answer” is disabled, the phone rejects the incoming intercom call and
sends a busy signal to the caller. By default, auto-answer, the microphone,
and playing a warning tone are all enabled for incoming intercom calls.
You can set incoming intercom settings and auto-answer using the Aastra
Web UI only.
