AutoAnswer intercom calls on Obi2182 after 1 ring

[jccpa]

I've searched all over. No joy. How do you make Obi2182 automatically answer to speakerphone for an intercom call?

Do we have to use paging?

Used to use Comdial and when we called an extension, it beeped a tone and answered to speaker, to which we could announce, "Hey Joe, did you get that email?"

And Joe could answer us.

We also had it on a programmable key to turn that on/off for privacy, mostly at exec level.

I've checked and both 2182's have AutoAnswer on.

I saw paging groups, but it only allows 2.

Should be simple, but apparently not. LOL

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Ideas?

Thanks again for the reference page. I made the following derivative.

218211111 is the Obi 2182 I am calling from, using Left Line Button 1
218222222 is the Obi 2182 I am calling to and wish it to auto answer an intercom after a brief 1 ring
XT = Extension assigned to 218211111
/ = comment

On the 218222222 (Expert):

Voice Services / OBiTALK Service / OBiTalk Service Settings / InboundCallRoute :
    Original: ph
    Modified:
       {281211111:ph(autoans;delay=1)},{ph}     / yes that is a semicolon

////

On the 218211111 (Normal):   

Configure and Label Your Left Line Keys:
     Monitor, Auto, Nameof218222222, XT

////


Now you can hit the button on the 218211111 and the 218222222 will ring once and auto answer to speakerphone.


I WISH there was a way to MONITOR the actual extension remotely, to know when it is busy and being used
