remaining participants.

Blocking tone

Blocking tone is an audible alert that indicates a user cannot speak when the user is using Push-to-Talk
(PTT) on a speaker channel call. This can occur because another party is already speaking on the same
channel from a handset with global muting enabled.
When a handset user with local or global muting joins a speaker channel call, other participants might
not be able to speak on the call. Blocking tone interacts with handsets that have muting controls as
follows:
•
If the blocking tone is enabled, when a user presses PTT on a single talkback channel that is muted,
the blocking tone plays, the PTT indicator does not appear, and a message for the speaker channel
indicates that the microphone is muted.
•
If one or more speaker channels in a talkback group is muted by a handset and the user presses a
group talk back button, the blocking tone plays once, the PTT indicator does not appear, and a
message for the muted speaker channels indicates that the microphone is muted.
•
If all handsets with muting leave a call, the PTT indicator appears and the blocking tone does not play
when the user presses PTT.
•
If a user latches PTT, the user hears the blocking tone every time the channel is muted, and a message
for the speaker channel indicates that the microphone is muted.
The blocking tone feature must be enabled in a user's profile.

Speaker groups

Speaker groups enable you to talk to the active speaker channels in a group. They are another form of
broadcast group.
When speaker channels are assigned to a speaker group, you can talk on all of the active channels in the
group with a single button press. For IQ/MAX TOUCH turrets, up to ten speaker groups are supported.
On an IQ/MAX TOUCH with a Primary Module and an Expansion Module, group assignments apply
across all modules.
Speaker groups can be defined by an administrator for your user profile. You can adjust speaker group
assignments.
