Off-Hook Voice Announce (OHVA)
To place an off-hook voice announce call:
1. When placing an intercom
call to a busy OHVA-enabled
Inter-Tel endpoint, do not
hang up. You hear busy sig-
nals until the Camp-On and
OHVA Screening timers
expire. (If you hear music
after the Camp-On timer
expires, conditions for an
OHVA call were not met and
you are camped-on. See
page 188.)
2. When the OHVA Screening timer expires (and if the endpoint’s secondary voice path is
available), you are automatically connected to the called party’s speakerphone.
To place an immediate off-hook voice announce call (Inter-Tel endpoints with DSS/BLF
buttons only):
NOTE: This method can only be used if the database has been programmed to allow Inter-Tel
endpoints with DSS/BLF buttons to bypass the Camp-On and OHVA Screening timers.
1. When an intercom call is placed, using a DSS/BLF button, to a busy OHVA-enabled
Inter-Tel endpoint, do not hang up.
2. Press the DSS/BLF button for that endpoint again. If the endpoint’s secondary voice
path is available, you are immediately connected and may speak.
To receive an off-hook voice announce call (OHVA-enabled Inter-Tel endpoints only):
1. While on a call using the handset, you hear a camp-on tone. The display shows CALL
ANNOUNCE FROM (username). Do nothing. When the OHVA Screening timer
expires, you hear a double tone. You are connected with the intercom caller via the
speakerphone. Your original call remains connected on the handset.
NOTE: If you press while speaking to the caller on the speakerphone, the
handset microphone will be muted and the caller on the handset will not hear you or the
OHVA caller. Press again to enable the handset.
2.
To terminate the OHVA call: Press the lit Speaker button or have the OHVA caller
hang up. If you terminate the original call by hanging up the handset, you remain con-
nected to the OHVA call in the handsfree intercom mode.
To block an off-hook voice announce call (OHVA-enabled Inter-Tel endpoints only):
1. While on a call using the handset, you hear a camp-on tone. The display shows CALL
ANNOUNCE FROM (username). To cause the intercom call to camp on, press the
Speaker button. The button flashes.
2. If you want to send Do-Not-Disturb signals to the camped-on call, press the
button.
