SoftwareoneachPC.Ifcallforwardingisused,Extronrecommendsthatno
more than six PCs should be set up for call forwarding.

3.
Configure the
intercoms
and set up the intercom list for each console PC. Each
console could be set up to monitor a different group of intercoms, but most
likely the lists will overlap.
In the example shown above, an installation in one building of a college
campus, each room (classroom, lab, or office) contains an
intercom.

orIPI204models,congureasecondbuttononeachintercomtocontactthe
campus security department. However, only the intercoms located in physical
sciences classrooms and laboratories have a third button configured to contact
the PC console in the lab stockroom. Only the intercoms installed in offices
haveabuttonconguredtocalltheregistrationdepartment’sconsole.
4. Once the system is configured, each intercom user presses and holds a button
to initiate talk mode. The button glows bright amber, and the Monitor LED
lights.
