Setting up continuous-play announcements
You can set up announcements to kee p on re pea ting wh ile c aller s are connec ted t o
the announcement, so a caller listens until the system plays the entire
announcement.With a “barge-in” queue, you do not need a separate port for each
announcement.
For example, you can set up an Automatic Wakeup announcement to repeat and
use a barge-in queue. When guests pick up the phone to hear an announcement at
a particular time, they use only one port and the message r epe at s on that port until
the last guest goes off-hook and the message ends.
Before you start
You must use an integrated, multiple-integrated, or external announcement for
barge-in announcements.
