The System provides two methods of intercom calling:

extension is voice or tone calling. Regardless of the default, you can toggle between voice or tone 
calling by entering the Tone-Voice Call feature code. For example, if the extension default is tone 
calling, you can make a voice call to another extension by entering the Tone-Voice Call feature access 
code.
