Additional Features Tab – Emergency Alerts
Emergency Alerts allow for an announcement to be triggered & latched by calling a pre-
configured Emergency extension and hanging up. The announcement can be chosen to
play once or to play until cancel. "Play Once" mode will play a single cycle of the chosen
tone file, despite of its duration. If "Play Until Cancelled" is selected, the announcement
will continue to play until the "Call-to-Cancel" extension is called to clear the announce-
ment (or a defined timeout is reached). The Emergency Alerts are useful for emergency
notifications (e.g. evacuation, lock down, medical emergency, etc.), allowing staff to
quickly dial a pre-configured number under such circumstances.
To configure an emergency alert extension click "Enable" beside the target announcement
and enter the Extension, Authentication ID, and Authentication password.
If the "Answer Inbound Call" option is "Enabled" the call is auto-answered and a config-
urable confirmation tone is played before starting the alert. If "Disabled", the alert is trig-
gered just by the inbound ring, without answering the call. (In both instances, the an-
nouncement will play until the time limit is reached or the "Cancel Extension" is called).
The auto-answering option can be useful when the caller cannot hear announcement from
