Configuring Loudspeaker Announcements
Proceed as follows:
•Using the Configuration Manager (Devices > Device wizard > Configure)
In order to make loudspeaker announcements, a device that can be used as announcement output (e. g. an a/b-Audiobox at a loudspeaker system) must be connected to the PBX. This announcement output must be created in the configuration of the PBX and assigned an internal number to call it.
The announcement output can be created with the device wizard. Various devices supported by the PBX that can be used as announcement output are available as device templates for this purpose. Their factory settings already include several default values for operation of the announcement outputs.
If no of the device templates on offer matches your installation, you can select a user-defined device template.
Phone Number
This (exchange line access number) is an internal number. You can select any of the numbers in the internal supply of phone numbers. This number can be called directly by an internal subscriber. (Entry on page Devices > Device wizard)
Note: Double allocation of a number is not possible.
Note: Using numbers with few digits (two or three-digit numbers) inevitably restricts the possible supply of numbers requiring more digits. For example, if the number 12 is assigned, the numbers 120-129 and 1200-1299 will no longer be available.
Note: The default exchange line access number on the PBX is 0 in the factory settings. However, this can be changed. Note that changing the exchange line access number restricts the dial plan.
