Loudspeaker Announcement

This function enables loudspeaker announcements over an active loudspeaker (for example,
a loudspeaker system in a department store/supermarket). In addition, a previously specified
phone number is called by an internal telephone. The call connection is immediately estab-
lished after dialling the phone number.

Creating an Announcement Output for Loudspeaker Announcements

In order to make loudspeaker announcements, a device that can be used as announcement
output (e. g. an a/b-Audiobox at a loudspeaker system) must be connected to the PBX. This
announcement output must be created in the configuration of the PBX and assigned an internal
number to call it.
The announcement output can be created with the device wizard. Various devices supported
by the PBX that can be used as announcement output are available as device templates for
this purpose. Their factory settings already include several default values for operation of the
announcement outputs.
If no of the device templates on offer matches your installation, you can select a user-defined
device template.
Proceed as follows:
• Using the configuration manager
