14.3.5 Broadcast Screen

One of the special features of the HSU Call Profile is the ability to establish a "two-way"
connection to the Called # on the Call Profile and broadcast a "one-way" copy of the data sent
by the Calling # to a series of additional users. The Bcast Phones parameter must be set to yes
to enable this feature.
The Broadcast screen allows the user to specify up to eight additional phone numbers of other
devices that will receive data from a "host" HSU port in the system. Figure 14-15 shows one
of the ways the broadcast feature could work.
In this example, a two-way call is placed from HSU #1 to the primary number, 510-623-1574
(DEV #1). When the call is connected, the system will dial the remaining secondary numbers
until all numbers have been dialed and all available connections are established. In this
example, it will dial 415-731-6545 (DEV #2), then dial 415-940-7710 (DEV #3). A notation
on the screen will signify if the connection is completed.
When the primary call is disconnected, the broadcast connections are also terminated,
however secondary callers can disconnect with no disruption of service to the primary or
secondary calls.
Selecting no on the Bcast Phones parameter on the Call Profile screen will disable this feature
while keeping the list of broadcast phone numbers intact. Figure 14-16 shows the Broadcast
screen.
