Voice Announce to Busy
next higher even-numbered jack is used for voice announcements and cannot be
dialed. A single-line telephone cannot receive voice-announced calls even if the
set has a speakerphone.
When a caller makes a voice-announced call to an extension with Voice
Announce to Busy, the caller hears a tone. The called person hears a beep and
the caller’s voice over the speakerphone unless one of the following is true:
■
The called person is already using the speakerphone. In this case, the
caller hears ringback, and the called person hears an abbreviated ring, if
programmed.
■
The called person has turned off Voice Announce to Busy. In this case, the
caller hears ringback, and the called person hears ringing for an inside call.
■
The called person has turned on Do Not Disturb. The caller hears a busy
signal and, if the caller has a display telephone, sees the message
DO NOT
DISTURB

QCC Voice Announce

In Release 4.0 and later releases, if QCC Voice Announce is Enabled, then the
fifth Call button on QCCs can be used to announce a call on another user’s
speakerphone. If Voice Announce is disabled (factory setting), then the fifth Call
button functions the same as any other Call button. This setting applies to all
QCCs in the system. Inspecting this button displays
Call 5 Voice
if Voice
Announce for QCCs is enabled and
Call 5 Ring
if Voice Announce for QCCs is
not
enabled.
QCCs
cannot
receive Voice Announce calls. Any call to a QCC from a Voice
Announce SA button from another extension is received at the QCC as a ringing
call.
Considerations and Constraints

By turning off Voice Announce to Busy, MLX and analog multiline telephone users
can prohibit all voice announcements to their telephones. When a user turns off
Voice Announce to Busy, the Hands Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) capability is
also turned off.
Voice Announce to Busy should be turned off at data workstations that include
either an MLX telephone or an analog multiline telephone, a GPA, and a modem.
