Hi, James, and thanks for your reply. I need the phone to auto answer intercom calls so if another extension calls via an intercom call the caller will be able to start speaking without the listener having to come to the phone. This doesn't work if the phone is in headset mode (since in that case the phone will autoanswer and the caller's voice will only come over the headphones and thus cannot be heard in the room).
I realize from earlier in this topic that it is possible to set things up in Group Listening mode so that the audio comes over the speaker and headset at the same time, but that doesn't work because I need the person receiving an intercom call to be able to speak without going to the phone.
I have worked around this problem by setting up a W52p in the same room (people can intercom to that one), but that's not ideal (especially since the W52p does not give an option to autoanswer direct ip calls and I would prefer being able to use those for my intercom calls so I can at some point get rid of my pbx and just connect my phones to a voip service and still be able to intercom with autoanswer, as I describe in more detail here:
