Using trixbox CE and Polycom 601 phones, is there a room monitor/muted intercom type of feature?

(Well, really its a reverse room monitor) so if phone 1 intercoms [*80] phone 2, phone 2 auto answers the call, good.

But, when phone 2 auto answers, it should auto answer in "mute mode" so phone 1 can't hear anything from the phone 2 room, until after the mute button is pressed by phone 2. Is this possible? If so, how please.

Thank you.

No.

I think at that stage it's just better to call the individual.

There must be a way

When your in the sip.cfg I understand there are four options for the intercom feature in the config file, one is "ring answer", so the phone rings once and then answers automatically. There are 3 other programming options available on the intercom function or sip config, but I don't know exactly what they are. I am sure there is one for no ring/answer (although nobody has discussed this before that I have seen). I would think there would be an option for mute/answer as well, but alas, that's past my pay grade.

Anybody know anything about this?
