Announcements (with and without Intercom)
Announcements can only be made to system terminals. For you to be able to
use this function, the system administrator must set up the corresponding
authorisation for you. Announcements can be set up on single or multiple
system terminals. The “Announcement” function is available in two versions.
● Announcement with intercom : the microphone of the terminal called is
switched on and the person you are calling can immediately answer your
announcement (hands-free mode). An announcement with intercom can
only be conducted to a single system terminal (not a group of terminals).
● Announcement without intercom : The called subscriber hears a special
information tone followed by your announcement. In order to answer your
announcement, the subscriber has to take the call just like a normal call
(please refer to the section
Responding to an announcement on page 127
also).
If you make an announcement to a group of system telephones (e. g. to a
hunt group number on which calls are signalled simultaneously), all
subscribers called hear the announcement at the same time. You hear a
signal tone via your telephone when the (announcement) connection has
been made to all called subscribers. If one of these subscribers replies to
the announcement (by accepting the call), the announcement call to the
other system terminals is terminated.
If a subscriber being called has activated announcement protection or
intercom protection, announcements to that subscriber’s call number will not
be carried out.
