Auto Intercom
DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
You can use an Auto Intercom button for one-touch dialing of intercom
numbers. Program any 2-digit intercom number onto an Auto Intercom
button and use the button whenever you want to call the intercom number.
In the MERLIN Plus system, you place an intercom call with a voice
announcement. Your coworker hears your voice through the voice terminal
speaker, but must lift the handset to respond to you. If he or she has a
10-button HFAI or a 34-button BIS voice terminal, he or she can speak to you
without lifting the handset.
However, if the person you are calling has activated the Voice Announcement
Disable feature, your intercom call rings rather than beeps at the person's
voice terminal.
Since a voice announcement does not interrupt an outside call in progress,
you can announce an intercom call to a person busy on another line.
You cannot have both an Auto Intercom button and a Manual Signaling
button for the same person. If you try to program both, you deactivate the
one that you programmed earlier. You can use either feature to place an
intercom call. (See "Manual Signaling.")
If you program this feature onto a button with lights, the green light next to
the button goes on when the person at that intercom number uses the voice
terminal or uses the Do Not Disturb feature. When the person calls you, the
green light next to the person's Auto Intercom button flashes.
