Handsfree Answerback/Forced Intercom
Ringing
Description
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by
speaking toward the telephone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for
workers who do not have a free hand to pick up the handset.
Conditions
• Handsfree Answerback does not require the Speaker phone to be enabled (PRG 15-02-16).
• A Multiline Terminal user can process calls using the speaker and microphone in the telephone
(instead of the handset).
• With Microphone Cutoff enabled, Handsfree Answerback callers to an extension hear a single beep
(instead of two).
• Incoming Intercom calls always ring Single Line Terminals.
• The extension you are calling must be set to Voice for this feature to work.
