3.2 Announcements, Zones, and Priorities
You can select a zone for an announcement to play or select to play
an announcement to all speakers. The C4000 system also supports
the simultaneous playing of multiple announcements to different
zones.
However, there are some set rules and priorities that govern how and
when announcements play. For example, announcements played via
an I/O controller can be played to a selected zone but not to All
Speakers.
When you attempt to play a non-emergency, or Normal, announce-
ment to a zone, you will receive a busy signal if any of the following
are true:
• An announcement, page, or recorded page is being played on the
zone.
• An announcement is being played to All Speakers.
• An Alarm, Tone, All-Call, or Emergency All-Call is being played.
A Normal announcement plays to All Speakers only if all zones are
idle and no higher level audio is playing. You will receive a busy signal
if any of the following are true:
•A Normal or Emergency announcement is already playing to All
Speakers.
• An announcement is already playing to a zone.
