SOHVA 
Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announce (SOHVA) allows a telephone user to break in on any 
call in-progress at another extension (offhook) without being heard by the outside party. 
When a station is assigned to a SOHVA group, it can transmit and receive SOHVA messages 
to and from other telephones in that group. Also, you can allow or deny each SOHVA group 
the ability to transmit or receive SOHVA messages from other SOHVA groups. 
By default, group 16 has the ability to send and receive SOHVAs to and from any group. All 
other groups have the ability to send and receive SOHVAs within their group and to group 
16.
