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 that

you have previously 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 tele

phone to prevent all voice announce calls. Furthermore, if he or

she blocks voice announce, the system also blocks SOHVA

calls .

(The following instructions assume a tone-first default setting.

Any user can change a call to voice announce signaling for that

call simply by pressing the INTERCOM button again after di-

aling the extension number or by pressing the preprogrammed

DSS button again.)
