Speaker Call / Direct Answering / Internal Paging |
Definition |
| A speaker call allows an internal connection to be set up without the called user lifting the handset; the speaker on the called user's telephone is activated. Handsfree answerback without lifting the handset can be done via phones with a microphone. Through lifting the handset, the call becomes a normal two-party call. |
| Speaker calls permit announcements to groups (paging zones) of up to 20 stations. This feature is also called internal paging. In this case, group members have no handsfree answerback option. If a member of a paging group goes off hook during a page, the call then becomes a normal two-party call. Group members can include optiPoint and OpenStage telephones. |
| A speaker call and paging internal are possible in combination with TDM and IP terminals which have a speaker as well as with IP clients installed on PC with speakers. They are activated by means of a key or a code. For each extension, it is possible to configure whether the user can receive a speaker call. |
| Speaker call |
| To place a Speaker Call to a station, the user dials the default access code *80 or can press the Program/Service key, scroll to and select the prompt *80=Speaker Call?, then enter the destination number, hears confirmation tone and announces the call. Non-display and analog telephones use the access code followed by the station number. |
| At the receiving end, the user hears a short burst of ring, followed by the introduction from the calling party. The Mic. Mute key LED is lit to advise the called party that the caller cannot hear. The called party can go off-hook to answer the call or, if the telephone has a microphone, press the Mute button to reactivate the microphone. |
| The caller can invoke this feature by using a key programmed on the telephone. The LED is lit for the duration of the Speaker call. |
Direct answering |
| The operation is similar to the above, except that the called party can allow Speaker calls to be immediately connected without having to enable the microphone. |
| To enable the Handsfree Answerback function, the user dials the default access code *96 or presses the Program/Service key and scrolls to and selects the prompt *96=HF answerback On? |
| To disable the feature (the feature Speaker Call remains active), the user dials the default access code #96. |
| Internal Paging |
| The operation is similar to the feature Speaker Call except that the caller dials *80 followed by a Call Group number. After the hearing the tone, the user can make an announcement. |
| Stations in a group which are busy or in DND, do not receive the internal paging. Calls placed to a group while an internal page is in progress, hear only busy, and only camp on to after the paging has been terminated. Calls placed to a telephone which has been called via Speaker Call, only hear busy and are not allowed to camp on to until the Mic. Mute function has been disabled. |
| Internal Paging and Speaker calls are forwarded if the destination or member of the paging group is forwarded. |
