Intercom to another extension
Aaronp:
I'm not sure if this is the feature is called intercom but I am wondering if it is supported. I would like to dial an extension for example 103. When 103 is dialed by a local user, the phone (103) would go off-hook, and you could speak to that extension and they can speak back. Please advise if this is something that is supported. THANK YOU!

Your requirement is unclear.
The Obi202 can have two analogue phones plugged in to it and it is possible for it to recognise any specific dialled number and ring the other phone. However no OBi (or any other device) can make an ordinary phone go off hook. That is purely a feature of the phone itself.

Yes, you can do that, if you use OBi 10x2 IP phones. Search on "intercom" to read about it, here:

What do you mean by "not working".
The admin guide (linked above) contains the following (with my emphasis):
" The calling phone will request to barge-in when the user dials a star code to enable the star code variable $barge-in1 before dialing the target OBi number. The following star code setup example uses *98 for this purpose:
*98, Barge In, set($barge-in1,1)
The called phone will automatically answer and conference in the calling phone, subjecting to resources available at
that moment. Note that the barge-in operation is only applicable if there is at least one active call on the called phone; otherwise the incoming call to barge-in will be rejected. "
Auto answer to incoming calls is described on page 77.
