1. Configure one computer as a server. Ensure that all intercoms are listed in the
intercom list of the server and each Help Desk. Also ensure that all Help Desks in
the system are on the server’s list of Cooperating Help Desks.
2. Configure one of the buttons on each intercom to communicate with the server.
3. Configure all of the Help Desk PCs so that only the server is listed on the list of
Cooperating Help Desks.
4. Set the server to server mode and restart the IPI program on the server.
Any call from an intercom will now be routed by the server to an available Help Desk.
