Alert Types
Broadcast Server allows users to send three types of alerts – emergency,
normal, and background alerts.
Emergency alerts
Emergency alerts are pushed immediately, override other alerts, and are
sent with barge priority.
Alerts automatically “rotate” for their display duration. This means that if
multiple alerts are sent to a phone; Broadcast Server will display each alert
for the display period set for that alert and then move on to the next alert.
This cycle keeps repeating until the subscribing user presses the “Exit”
button.
Normal alerts
Normal alerts are pushed to a phone when it is idle.
Background alerts
Background alerts are pushed directly to the Alerts list in the Voice Office
menu.
