Enabling Flashing Incoming Call Alerts

For hearing-impaired users, an attention-getting message displays when an incoming call is received by a
RealPresence Group system. When a call is received, the system displays a message asking if the user
wants to answer the call.
For greater visibility, you can have the message text flash between white and yellow. Flashing text is off by
default. The incoming call alert settings persists after powering the system off and on.
If a RealPresence Group system is paired with a Polycom Touch Control and is configured with
Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings > Call Settings > Auto Answer
Point-to-Point set to Yes, users do not see the flashing message on the RealPresence Group
system or on the Touch Control screen. The call is answered automatically and users interact with
the call on the Touch Control screen.
To turn on flashing:
1 In the web interface, select Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings > Call
Settings.
2 Select the Enable Flashing Incoming Call Notification checkbox.
To turn off flashing:
1 In the web interface, select Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings > Call
Settings.
2 Select the Enable Flashing Incoming Call Notification checkbox.
