[Freeswitch-users] Intercom w/ Mute

[Tim St. Pierre]

With the Aastra phones, and I expect with others, you can set that in the phone's config.

There is usually a config option that tells the phone to answer an intercom call with the microphone
muted.  You can build an option in your provisioning system that sets the behaviour on a per
extension basis.

It wouldn't be something you can set on a per-call basis with this method, but it doesn't sound like
that is a problem in this case.
