Off-Hook Call Announce (Oca); Off-Premise Stations - Toshiba Strata CIX40 General Description Manual

Off-Hook Call Announce (OCA)

System Availability: All systems
Station users may announce a call when the station they call is busy talking with the handset off-
hook. The announcement is only audible to the telephone user receiving the OCA call, not to the
other party in the original conversation.
Two different methods of operation are provided – handset or speaker OCA. With handset OCA,
the OCA caller's announcement comes in on the telephone handset. With speaker OCA, the
announcement comes in on the speaker. Handset or speaker OCA can be set individually for each
telephone that must receive OCA calls. Speaker OCA on digital DPs require a BVSU option for
DKT3200-series telephones or a DOCA-1A option for DP5000 telephones. Handset OCA has no
optional hardware requirement. Speaker OCA on IP telephones (IPT2020-SD and IPT2008-SDL)
requires an MIPU / LIPU / LIPS / GIPH installed in the Strata CIX.
Note Each station enabled with Speaker OCA requires two IP channels on the same IP interface
card but only one IP endpoint license.
When a busy telephone receives a handset OCA call, replying confidentially to the OCA caller can
be accomplished by pressing the
Mic
down the button to make a short reply. In either case, the original caller will not hear the reply
to the OCA caller. To reply to a speaker OCA call, the user covers the handset mouth piece and
talks back through the telephone microphone.
Any type of telephone can be enabled to originate OCA when calling a busy digital telephone. The
feature is activated automatically (optional setting) or manually (Call Completion code – digit 5).
Stations receiving OCA must be proprietary digital telephones assigned with OCA-receiving
capability in system programming. Standard single-line telephones cannot receive OCA.
Any type of station can make an OCA call, as long as the station has this option enabled in system
programming. OCA to DND telephones is allowed only if DND Override is allowed on the called
and calling telephones.
Note The CIX40 supports Headset OCA on digital and IP telephones, but only supports Speaker
OCA on IP telephones.

Off-Premise Stations

System Availability: All systems
Off-premise stations are supported using either standard analog telephones or Toshiba digital
telephones. This can accommodate both individual telephones and branch office connections. Off-
site standard analog telephones can be part of the system, having access to many of the features
offered by the Strata CIX. Each off-site standard telephone station requires a special OPX line
from the CO and the RS48 subassembly on the CIX standard telephone interface card. This
enables groups of remote workers to use Toshiba digital telephones to have seamless access to the
main location's telephone system and voice mail system. Off-premise stations require secondary
lightening protectors.
Remote employees have transparent access to all the same capabilities as if they were locally
connected to the Strata CIX system. They have can the same ability transmitting voice traffic and
digital telephone signaling over the customer's existing Local Area Network (LAN) Wide Area
Network (WAN) private IP packet network or the public Internet.
Note CIX40 standard telephone ports do not support RS48 which limits OPS telephones to
OLI3B (600 ohm) loops.
