• These announcement groups are also used for the feature Send text messages
(see "Sending and reading text messages", page 454).
Notes:
– For each announcement group one announcement can be made to
a maximum of 16 phones simultaneously. This limit is quickly
reached if several phones are allocated to each user. The first 16
phones of the members of an announcement group are taken into
account, starting with the lowest member number. Only the phones
for which the announcement can be made actually count (e. g. a set
can be protected against announcement).
– If the announcement is on an analogue phone, it calls with a special
call pattern (200 ms ring – 200 ms pause – 200 ms ring – 200 ms
pause etc.). Some analogue Aastra phones (e. g. Aastra 1930) or
from other manufacturers, specially designed for retirement homes
and hospitals are able to recognize this ringing pattern and switch
automatically to hands-free mode.
Restriction: Analogue telephones in an announcement group are
not permitted.
Tip:
This feature can be combined with the transfer of an outside call to a
paged person. If the announcement is answered, the user searched for
is automatically connected with the exchange user put on hold.
