Dual Handsfree Hotline
Description:
Dual Handsfree Hotline allows one extension to simultaneously call two other
extensions. The “secretary” extension can make a voice announced intercom call over the
speaker of both “executive” extensions. The users at the extensions can reply Handsfree (i.e. by
just speaking toward the phone) and all three parties can converse. The simultaneous call goes
through only if both executive extensions are idle and an executive extension has not forwarded
intercom calls. In order to reply Handsfree, the microphone at an executive extension must be
on. When an executive replies by lifting the handset, the other executive is disconnected. The
secretary can make a ringing intercom call to both executives; however, an executive must lift
the handset to reply, which disconnects the other executive.
Station Application:
KTS
Operation:
1. Seize Internal at secretary extension.
2. Dial either executive extension number. Both are called. If ringing is heard, the secretary
can dial 1 to convert the call into a voice announced call. If busy tone is heard, the
secretary can still contact the other executive by dialling the other executive number
after pressing ICM.
