Calling a set using handsfree 1

[Frith]

Today, there are 6210 analog sets installed by badge dispensers at several entrances to the plant. If someone picks up the handset, they're connected to Security using the Hotline Destination. (We use 6210 sets because they support the Hotline Destination feature, which the digital sets don't support.)
Security can see these folks on closed circuit television. On our previous (Rolm) system, Security could press *8 nnnn on their phone which would call extension nnnn, beep the phone, and begin a conversation through the set's speaker.
Security wants to be able to call a phone and have the speaker activate so they can speak to a user before the user lifts the handset.
The 6210 set doesn't have a speaker in it, so we're experimenting with an 8110 set. So far, though, we can't figure out how to make this work.
Any ideas out there?

The 8110M set I have on my desk has an "auto" button. When this button is pressed the set automatically answers. If you want to keep it in this mode you just pull the auto button off and insert the blank button plate to cover the hole (if you still have it).

When logged into ASA type the command ADD INTERCOM-GROUP N.
Type in the security extension and the extension they want to be able to speak to and a DC (say 1 for security and 2 for the other extension).

Change the security extension and add button AUTO-ICOM for group 1 and DC 2)

Change the extenion security want to call and on page 2 in the auto-answer section type icom.

Now when security press the auto-icom button it activates the speaker on your other extension.
