Chapter 5 Command Reference
intercom (ephone-dn)
Examples The following example shows how to set the intercom on Cisco IP phone directory number 1:
Router(config)# ephone-dn 1
Router(config-ephone-dn) number A5001
Router(config-ephone-dn) name “intercom”
Router(config-ephone-dn) intercom A5002 barge-in
The following example shows intercom configuration between two Cisco IP phones:
ephone-dn 18
number A5001
name “intercom”
intercom A5002 [barge-in]
ephone-dn 19
number A5002
name “intercom”
intercom A5001 [barge-in]
ephone 4
button 1:2 2:4 3:18
ephone 5
button 1:3 2:6 3:19
In this example, directory number (ephone-dn) 18 and directory number (ephone-dn) 19 are set as an
intercom pair. Directory number (DN) 18 is associated with button 3 of Cisco IP phone (ephone) 4 and
directory number (DN) 19 is associated with button number 3 of Cisco IP phone (ephone) 5. Button 3
on both the Cisco IP phone 4 and Cisco IP phone 5 is set as a pair to provide intercom service to each
phone.
The intercom feature acts as a combination speed-dial PLAR and auto-answer with mute. If the barge-in
argument is set on the DN receiving the intercom call, the existing call is forced into the hold state, and
the intercom call is accepted. If the phone user has the handset off hook (that is, not in speakerphone
mode), the user hears a warning beep, and the intercom call is immediately connected with two-way
audio. If the phone user is using speakerphone mode, the intercom connects with the microphone mute
activated.
Note Dialing in to an intercom by any caller and auto-dial to a nonintercom destination are not prohibited.
Calls to an intercom DN originated by a nonintercom caller triggers auto-answer. To prevent
nonintercom originators from manually dialing to an intercom destination, use of the special A, B, C, or
D dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) digits in the intercom phone numbers is recommended because
these digits cannot be dialed from a normal phone.
