Direct Extension Announce (Alternating the Calling Method) is a feature that allows you to make a voice announcement during a phones ringing. This feature only works within the first 4 rings at an extension before it transfers to the extensions voicemail. This is like a forced speakerphone intercom.
The application of this can be used to tell a staff person that their appointment is waiting for them in the lobby - while the other person is within a room but does not need to pickup the handset. It can also be used to try and find someone who is in a classroom or conference room without paging the entire facility. e.g. - calling the monkey room and asking that employee please callback an extension.
