Additional Features
Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone
The auto-answer feature on the IP phone allows you to enable or disable automatic answering for
an Intercom call. 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 you 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."Auto-Answer" and "Play Warning Tone" are
enabled by default.
Allow Barge In
You can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call to interrupt an
active call. The “Allow Barge In” parameter controls this feature. When you enable the this
parameter, which is the default value, an incoming intercom call takes precedence over any active
call, by placing the active call on hold and automatically answering the intercom call. When you
disable this parameter, and there is an active call, the phone treats an incoming intercom call like a
normal call and plays the call warning tone. "Allow Barge In" is enabled by default.
Configuring Incoming Intercom Settings
Use the following procedure to configure incoming Intercom settings on the IP phone.
1. Click on Basic Settings->Preferences->Incoming Intercom Settings.

phone for Intercom calls made by the originating caller. To disable this field, uncheck the box.

plays a warning tone when it receives in incoming intercom call. To disable this field, uncheck
