So we beckon these substitutes during a timeout, but not during an intermission?

Mechanically, this does make some sense. In a Connecticut two person game, during a timeout there is an official on the division line, either on the table side jump ball circle, or on the far side jump ball circle, who is obviously there to beckon substitutes. During intermissions, the official on the division line is all the way over on the far side sideline.

If they report, and are not beckoned, as in an intermission, where all players are bench personnel, has there been substitution, or has there been no substitution?

I don't beckon players in during timeout and I cannot think of a single time I have seen anyone do such a thing. That sounds like a local thing, but not something I have ever seen done even watching a game.

I thought he was there to so he could easily give the "first horn" warning to each bench.

I can't speak to NFHS mechanics, but IAABO mechanics have had us at these spots before the oral, and visual, "first horn" warning, by the officials, was implemented. Besides beckoning in substitutes, we're also at these spots to be available to answer any questions from the table.

According to IAABO mechanics (not necessarily NFHS mechanics), the official on the division line only gives the oral, and visual, "first horn" warning to one bench, not each bench, the bench farthest away from his partner, who is standing somewhere on a sideline, endline, or the free throw line.
