Special Calls/Conversations Telephoning
Announcements (with and without Intercom)
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 system terminal called will be switched on
(handsfree operation) and the person you are calling can immediately answer your announcement. 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. You can also make an announcement to a group of system terminals (e.g. to a hunt
group number on which calls are signalled simultaneously). All subscribers called hear the
announcement at the same time in this case. The person initiating the announcement hears a signal tone
on his/her telephone when the (announcement) connection has been established to all called
subscribers. If one of these subscribers replies to the announcement, the announcement call to the other
system terminals is terminated.
The system administrator has to extend the corresponding authorisation for your user group for you to be able
to use the function. If a subscriber being called has activated announcement protection or intercom
protection, announcements to that subscriber’s call number will not be carried out.
