Off-hook Call Announce (OCA)

A station user can send an announcement to a busy digital/electronic telephone. The internal call
must be directed to a PDN or PhDN, if it is the PhDN owner. Only the PhDN owner can receive
OCA. OCA does not occur when calling SDNs.
OCA uses two different methods of operation—handset/headset or speaker mode. It can be set
individually for each telephone that receives OCA.
Any telephone can originate OCA using intercom dialing, transfer/conference dialing, or DSS.
There are no special requirements to enable a digital, electronic, or conventional single-line
telephone to make OCA calls. The feature is activated automatically or by dialing 2, depending on
how the station is programmed.
Stations receiving OCA must be assigned with OCA-receiving capability in system programming
and be a proprietary digital/electronic telephone. Standard single-line telephones cannot receive
OCA.
The digital telephone only requires standard one-pair cabling.
Note

Handset Mode

The OCA is sent to the called telephone handset or headset receiver. The OCA called station user,
while off-hook and engaged in a conversation, hears an OCA warning tone (optional) and
announcement over the handset. The Cordless DKT-2004-CT also receives the warning tone and
announcement. This method of OCA does not require the DVSU in the telephone.
The called station hears the original and the OCA calling party. The called station user responds to
the OCA calling party by holding down the Mic button and talking into the telephone handset or
headset transmitter. The original outside talking party does not hear the OCA calling party or the
station user's response, so this is a more private method of OCA than the speaker OCA mode.
A HS OCA Talkback button can be programmed on a digital telephone feature button to operate
with "push-on" and "push-off" mode for each individual telephone that receives OCA. When the
OCA button is pressed on, the outside caller hears Music-on-Hold, and the internal parties are in a
two-way, dedicated conversation.

Speaker Mode

The OCA is sent to the called telephone speaker. When the OCA announcement is heard over the
speaker, user can respond to the OCA caller by talking into the telephone microphone. There exists
two simultaneous two-way conversations, so the OCA call is heard by other people near by, or by
the outside original talking party, depending upon the speaker volume setting.
