Visual Notification Assistant (VNA)  
The purpose of the VNA feature is to allow instant distribution of an audio message (notification) to all 
members of a group (large or not) defined by the administrator. Your desk phone can be used to 
broadcast an urgent message to the greatest number of employees. The broadcasted audio message 
will be played instantly and simultaneously on each phone. This feature depends on the phone 
configuration and the company infrastructure.  
Two modes can be configured by the administrator depending on the working environment: 
•  Loud:  
o  You are alerted of the incoming notification by the pop-up 
window displayed on the screen. The pop-up window 
indicates the active device which will be used to play the 
notification. 
o  The notification is played on the phone loudspeaker. The 
message volume is higher than the volume you set in the 
phone settings (level + 2). 
o  After the notification, the phone returns to its initial state. 
•  Discreet:  
o  You are alerted of the incoming notification by the pop-up 
window displayed on the screen and the audio signal 
(beep), asking to select the device to use to listen to the 
notification (handset, headset or loudspeaker). The pop-up 
window indicates the active device which will be used to 
play the notification. 
o  The notification is played on the selected device or the 
active device if you are in conversation. In case of hands-
free, you can select the device to listen the notification. The 
defined volume in the phone settings is used.  
o  After the notification, the phone returns to its initial state. 
 
If you are in conversation, the local and distant audio call are muted while the notification is playing. You 
recover your call after the notification if the call is still active. 
 You can interrupt the notification to make for example an emergency call by pressing twice on the 
release key. First press, a pop-up window is displayed asking you to confirm the action by pressing 
again the release key.
