Transfer from announcement 
 
This feature lets you make announcements to groups (paging zones). This feature is also called internal paging. Members of the group can answer the call handsfree.
The procedure is as follows:
 •   A user answers an external call.
 •   The user places a consultation call and begins the group announcement.
 •   The system sets up a two-party call when another party lifts the handset or turns on the speaker, and the party who answered the call hangs up. The remaining group members are removed from the call.
Speaker calls and internal paging are only available when using internal telephones with speakers (optiPoint and OpenStage). They are activated by means of a key or a code. For each extension, it is possible to configure whether the user can receive a speaker call.
