Push to Talk (PTT)

Overview The push-to-talk feature allows Avaya 3626 Wireless Telephones to operate in a push-to-talk (PTT) group broadcast mode in addition to the standard telephone operation.

PTT is automatically disabled during a PBX call. When the PBX call is ended, PTT automatically resumes.

The Avaya 3626 Wireless Telephone supports 8 multicast channels with the current channel saved in memory on the phone. A PTT call is initiated by pressing the Talk button located on the right side of the handset. All Avaya 3626 Wireless Telephones that are monitoring that channel will hear the transmission.

Selecting a channel See Setting User Preferences below.

The call period The two-way radio operates on the concept of a push-to-talk session or call period. The push-to-talk call period begins with the first transmission and ends when there has been no two-way radio traffic on the channel for 10 seconds.

The PTT mode controls the keypad during a push-to-talk call period. Therefore it is not possible to use the keypad for any other function such as accessing the on-hook menus or accessing an OAI application. However, it is possible to place a PBX call (see below).

Initiating a call Press the Talk button and wait two seconds to activate the channel before talking. The “start transmit” sound will be played when you may begin talking.

Transmitting Once a call has been initiated, hold the Wireless Telephone two inches from your mouth and talk into the microphone. When the Talk button is released, the “end transmit” sound is played. The Avaya 3626 Wireless Telephone then enters the waiting state where it monitors the channel for up to 10 seconds.

Initiate subsequent transmissions by pressing the Talk button on any Avaya 3626 Wireless Telephone using the same channel. The “start transmit” sound is played immediately and the user can start talking. The display screen shows the current active channel. Since all phones on that channel are already in the receive state, there is no two- second delay.

If no transmission occurs during the 10-second countdown period, the Avaya 3626 Wireless Telephone plays the “end call” sound and reverts to the idle state.
