Broadcast Messaging
Broadcast messaging is communication between one sender and a number of recipients. Broadcast
messaging enables you to deliver information to a large number of recipients at the same time — i.e.
all employees can instantly be notified of a fire alarm or be summoned for a company meeting.
Spectralink broadcast messaging is a one-way message that can be sent to a specified group of
handsets, or to all handsets in your system simultaneously.
When using Spectralink broadcast messaging, your message can be transmitted as either a text
message of maximum 19 or 55 characters or as a color icon including a short explanatory text
depending on the application.
Note:
Only Spectralink Handsets 7622/7642/7722/7742 support broadcast messaging with
icons.
Depending on the application, the broadcast message can also be an alarm call, an emergency call,
or a fire alarm.
