| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | You may choose between:
|
Alert-Info header | In order for intercom/paging to work, the Alert-Info and the Call-Info headers must be sent from the VoipNow to the user's phone terminal. If the phone terminal supports Intercom/Paging and if it is able to read those headers, then it will automatically answer and you will not be required to fill in anything in these two fields. |
Call-Info header | Newer firmware versions for certain devices such as Linksys, Polycom, Aastra, Grandstream or Snom (not necessarily for all of them) might require another value for the Alert-Info and the Call-Info headers, different from the default ones. In these conditions, you will be required to check with the phone manufacturer the values that must be filled in to enable automatic answering. This does not work when multiple phones of different types are dialed in Intercom. |
| Timeout | The maximum duration of the intercom/paging session. At the end of this interval, the call is disconnected. |
