Command History
Usage Guidelines The intercom command dedicates a pair of ephone-dns for use as a “press to talk” two-way intercom
between two IP phones. Intercom lines cannot be used in shared line configurations. If an ephone-dn is
configured for intercom operation, it must be associated to one Cisco IP phone only. The intercom
attribute causes an IP phone line (ephone-dn) to operate as auto-dial for outbound calls and
auto-answer-with-mute for inbound calls.
The barge-in keyword allows inbound intercom calls to force an existing call into the call-hold state and
allows the intercom call to be immediately answered. The label keyword defines a text label for the
intercom. The no-auto-answer keyword creates a connection for the IP phone line resembling a private
line automatic ringdown (PLAR).
