Placing Intercom Calls
Placing Intercom Calls
When placing an intercom call, begin dialing before the Dial Initiation timer expires. If the
timer expires, the system drops the connection and sends reorder tones.
To place an intercom call:
NOTE: In the procedure below, if you want to place a private (non-handsfree) call to an Inter-
Tel endpoint, press the pound ( ) button before dialing the extension number.
1. For all Inter-Tel endpoints:
• To use the handset: Lift the handset. If the endpoint has a display it shows
ENTER EXTENSION NUMBER.
• To use the speakerphone: Skip to step 2 (begin dialing). The Speaker button
lights. The display shows ENTER EXTENSION NUMBER.
• Executive Display, Professional Display, and Model 8560 endpoints: Lift the
handset or begin dialing as described above. The display shows ENTER EXTEN-
SION NUMBER. You may press one of the following menu buttons:
– IC DIRECTORY: Press this button to use the Intercom Directory feature.
Refer to page 251 for instructions.
– OUTSIDE CALL: If you would rather make an outside call, press this button
and refer to the instructions on page 201.
• Single-Line Sets: Lift the handset. (If the DTMF decoders are busy, you hear
silence. Hang up and try again.)
2. Dial an extension number. The number can be 0 for the Attendant, a station extension
number, or a hunt group pilot number. Display endpoints show the number dialed. If
you dial too slowly, the Interdigit timer may expire and you will hear reorder tones. One
of the following will occur:
• If calling a handsfree Inter-Tel endpoint, speak after you hear a double tone. The
display shows IC TO (username).
• If placing a private call or calling a single-line station, a hunt group, or an Inter-
Tel endpoint with handsfree disabled, you hear repeating double tones until the
call is answered. The display shows CALL RINGING FOR (username). When the
call is answered, the display shows IC TO (username). Executive Display, Profes-
sional Display, and Model 8560 endpoint users can press one of the following
menu buttons while the call is ringing:
– LEAVE MESSAGE: This button appears only if you have called a station.
Press this button to leave a message waiting indication at the station. Refer to
page 194 for details.
– LEAVE VOICE MAIL: This button appears only if the called station has a
Voice Mailbox. Press this button to call the station’s Voice Mailbox.
