9.4 Hoot channels and Open Connexions
A hoot private line channel is a dedicated, always-on connection that allows users to talk simultaneously
with everyone able to hear the discussion.
A call on a hoot private line channel can be many users listening to a single audio source with no
talkback, or an open call with many people listening and speaking. For example, a hoot could be used
for news feeds, for a morning call in which traders listen to the head trader, or to distribute audio to
multiple branches.
Hoot lines support privacy and global muting controls and other call features (such as conferencing,
hold, etc.). Users connect through with separate call muting controls for each. For more information
about global muting, see How call muting controls affect speaker users on page 146.
The label for a hoot channel can describe the intended use of the line; for example, Morning call.
Open Connexion is similar to a hoot but does not support privacy, global muting and other call features
(such as conferencing, hold, etc.). If the Privacy setting is turned on for a device, an Open Connexion
cannot be accessed from that device. A message in the Handset Status area indicates Line Busy and
the messaging area states Privacy call rejected, line busy.
Open Connexion supports local muting and permissioning. It was originally designed to provide hoot
functionality for users within a Unigy enterprise and now supports bridging of external sources (SIP and
Media Gateway trunks). Users and trunks are assigned to Open Connexion channels to either listen only
or to speak and listen. Additionally, Open Connexion channels can be monitored through voice activity
and moderated by an administrator.
Icons on line buttons, speaker channels, and call activity displays indicate the permissions:
