Creating intercom groups


Intercom allows us to force the IP phones to answer a call sent to the group and have bidirectional communication.

How to do it…

To set this feature, we must first enable it in the PBX Configuration | Feature Codes menu. In this page, we change from Disabled to Enabled all the feature codes related to the intercom, and save and apply the changes. This is shown in the following screen:

How it works…

Here is an example of usage:

  • *80nnn: Intercom extension nnn.

  • *54: Enable all extensions to intercom you (except those explicitly denied).

  • *54nnn: Explicitly allow extension nnn to intercom you (even if others are disabled).

  • *55: Disable all extensions from intercomming you (except those explicitly allowed).

  • *55nnn: Explicitly deny extension nnn to intercom you (even if generally enabled).
