Description
You can interrupt a busy extension when making an Intercom Call, and then use the Off-Hook Voice
Announce (OHVA) feature to make an announcement that only the called party can hear. You can also
transfer a held call to a busy extension after making the announcement using this feature. The called
party may optionally reply to (answer) an OHVA call.
Beginning with CPC version 2.0, the busy party can reply to an offhook announcement with a text
message that displays on the announcing phone. Any one of the following messages can be selected.
Messages 6 to 9 and 0 have no default message text. All the messages can be changed through system
programming. (See "Set Text Message Replies" on page 114 for more information on setting Text
