Alert-Info header. The value that is sent to the phone in the alert info header. This setting is required for Polycom phones to auto-answer intercom calls. Use a value of Intercom or SVAutoPickup. If you use Intercom, a ringtone will play before the phone auto-answers the call. With both values, the phone auto-answers and then you hear a tone announcing the call.
Timeout. Select the length of time that the system attempts to connect an intercom call. After this duration, intercom calls that have not been answered will be hung up.
Intercom / Paging. Specify whether this extension makes intercom calls (2-way conversations) or paging calls (one-way announcements).
