Starting with firmware 530.2, the push-to-talk functionality is available on our A190 headset
This feature enables the handset to function like a walkie talkie by pressing and holding the hook button on the headset
To enabled it, you can either use the base station's web interface with these steps
- Head into the Extensions menu
- Cclick into the handset's IPEI
- Find the "Push-to-Talk" option and enable it
Or provision it, using the parameter push_to_talk (this needs to be provisioned for each active SIP extension you want to use PTT with)
Once it has been enabled
- Press and keep pressed the "hook" button
- The headset will open a direct communication channel with all the others that have this functionality enabled
- The call will drop as soon as you release the button
The calling headset needs to be in idle state, the call will be automatically answered on speakerphone on all the handsets with the push-to-talk enabled, and it is only possible for one person at a time to talk using the push-to-talk functionality
When the push-to-talk feature is enabled on one handset on a system of base stations, only six calls can be ongoing at the same time from any base station which has the handset connected
Do not re-assign the long press for the Hook button on the A190 with any other functionality, or you will loose the ability to use the PTT
