3.7 Making Intercom Calls
You can dial an intercom extension manually from the dial pad or
automatically using a direct station select (DSS) button you have
programmed. There are two methods for making an intercom call. One
causes the called telephone to ring. The other causes your voice to sound
out at the called telephone. Your installer can set the system to deliver
either tone-first or voice-first calling, although all systems have tone-first
as the default condition.
Keep in mind that whatever the system setting, a called party can set a
voice announce block condition at his or her telephone to prevent all
voice announce calls. Furthermore, if he or she blocks voice announce,
the system also blocks SOHVA calls.
