3CX: How to turn on Intercom

Intercom enables you to make an announcement to a single extension with two-way audio, i.e. the called party can respond without picking up the handset.


Settings Required for Intercom

Configure the intercom dial code in “Settings” > “Dial codes” > “Paging”

The extension using intercom needs to have the “Can Intercom” option enabled in “Extensions” > “Edit Extension” > “Rights”.


How to Intercom?

To call a user via the intercom function, add the paging/intercom prefix in front of the extension number, e.g. if your paging dial code is *11, to make an intercom call to extension 100, dial: *11100.
