Intercom configuration:
Each user defines on his terminal the terminal of the same group he wishes to supervise. He assigns
a key to each supervised terminal. This key offers the following functions:
Terminal idle: terminal not active. The supervised terminal is called by pressing the key.
Flashing indicator light: a call is arriving on the terminal in question. A beep may be associated
with the indicator to show that a call has arrived. This is not a personal but general beep. The
user can intercept the call.
Indicator active: the supervised terminal is engaged in a call.
A terminal may belong to 2 separate intercom groups.
The user can configure an intercom key via the Aastra Phone Suite interface.
A configuration is required on the Aastra 5000 software and on the SIP terminal if this is done by the
administrator or if the installation does not have the APS module on AM 7450.
In a multi-site Aastra 5000/ NeXspan configuration with heterogeneous releases (R5.4, R5.3,
R5.2, ), an Aastra 6700i connected to an Aastra 5000 R5.3 can supervise any type of terminal
connected to the same or earlier iPbx releases. It is necessary for the supervised terminals to belong
to the same intercom group.
An SIP terminal connected to a platform of software release earlier than R5.2 is not be able to
supervise any terminal.
Ergonomics:
In terms of ergonomics on Aastra terminals 6700i, audio signals are the same on all the terminals; it is
all about a general parameter of the A5000 server.
If a user is engaged in a conversation, he cannot intercept a call arriving on another terminal by
pressing the supervision key.
A terminal’s virtual supervision key disappears when a call arrives on an Aastra 6757 or 6755i. Some
keypad extension modules are recommended for these terminals.
Intercom function capacity:
An Aastra 6700i can supervise a maximum of 50 remote terminals (depending on the number of
programmable keys).
The BLF supervision function on AX Series is limited to 2000 keys whereas on an Aastra 5000 Server
it is limited to 30,000 keys.
