Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone
The auto-answer feature on the IP phone allows you to enable or disable automatic answering for
an Intercom call. If
Auto-Answer is enabled, the phone automatically answers an incoming intercom
call. If
Play Warning Tone is also enabled, the phone plays a tone to alert you before answering
the intercom call. If
Auto-Answer is disabled, the phone treats the incoming intercom call as a
normal call.
Auto-Answer and Play Warning Tone are enabled by default.
Microphone Mute
You can mute or unmute the microphone on the IP phone for intercom calls made by the originating
caller. If you want to mute the intercom call, you enable this feature. If you want to unmute (or hear
the intercom call), you disable this feature.
Microphone Mute is enabled by default.
Allow Barge In
You can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call to interrupt an active
call. The
Allow Barge In parameter controls this feature. When you enable the this parameter, which
is the default value, an incoming intercom call takes precedence over any active call, by placing the
active call on hold and automatically answering the intercom call. When you disable this parameter,
and there is an active call, the phone treats an incoming intercom call like a normal call and plays
the call warning tone.
Allow Barge In is enabled by default.

incoming intercom call as a normal call.
