Off-hook Call Announce (OCA)
Strata DK Digital Telephone 5/99 51
Off-hook Call Announce (OCA)
This feature enables you to call and speak through either the handset or the speaker of an off-
hook, busy digital telephone. The called station must be set in system programming for this
feature to work.
The calling station can be set in system programming for OCA to occur automatically when
calling a busy-off-hook station or by dialing an access code after receiving busy tone.
Automatic OCA only functions on Voice First Signaling systems. The following procedure
covers both calling options.
♦ Handset Off-hook Call Announce (HS-OCA) – lets callers make an announcement
through the handset (or headset). No special hardware is required.
♦ Speaker Off-hook Call Announce (SP-OCA) – lets callers make an announcement
through the speaker of an off-hook, busy digital phone. The called telephone must be
equipped with optional hardware.
When you receive an HS-OCA call while you are on another call, you
hear a short warning tone (optional), followed by an announcement.
You are the only one who hears the tone/announcement. The station
[
210] sending the HS-OCA is displayed on your LCD. Stations in the DND mode cannot
receive OCA calls unless the calling station is programmed for DND Override.
While on a speaker OCA call,
0LF and 0LFURSKQ&XWRII can be used to prevent an OCA
caller from listening to your conversation with the original party (see “Microphone Cut-Off”
on Page 50).
➤ To make an OCA call (Voice First Signaling)
➤ Lift the handset and dial the [DN]. You hear a single tone (optional) or nothing and can
talk to the station (Automatic OCA).
Note If you receive busy tone, press to OCA the station and talk.
An optional tone is heard at the busy station, indicating that
you are connected on an OCA call.
➤ To make an OCA call (Tone Signaling)
