Yes.

In an Intercom system with 2 or more indoor stations, each station can dial or call between each other by using the following dialing format.

0- (Main indoor unit is typically 0 and other extension units are 1 thru 5)
For Example:

To call the Main indoor station from any indoor station you would dial 0-0

To call the first indoor extension from any indoor station, included the main indoor station, you would dial 0-1

Most residential customers would use the Green and Blue cable
The Power would depend on the electric strike (to be powered separately). Further, the strike also has NO and NC setting. So, the strike has to also be on NO setting
For commerical sites, some of them may use NC, so in that case, we still use electric strike but use the pink, NC cable to connect to it
