Group Call - Increased volume

This article describes how to increase the volume of a group call announcement. The volume is set back to default value when the group call is ended.

Note: This event is CPU extensive. Maximum members in a group using this feature should not exceed approx. 50 stations.

Minimum software is AMC version 11.

In the following example the volume will be set to level 6 when group call 86 is called from stations in UDP group 2. The volume is set to level 3 (default) when the group call is ended.

In AlphaPro, go to Exchange and System -> Events, press Insert and create the following event (the action strings can be copy/paste into AlphaPro):

---

Event Owner:	Stations with UDP: Id: 2
Event type:	08 - Conversation Outgoing
Sub event:	0
When change to:	ON or OFF
When related to:	Directory Number, Id: 86
Action:

IF %chg(1,0)
tmp 0 "%gns(%2.phy,0)"
LOOP
IF %op(%tmp(0),=,0)
STOP
ENDIF
$VOL N%tmp(0) U6
tmp 0 "%gns(%2.phy, %tmp(0))"
ENDLOOP
stop
ENDIF
tmp 0 "%gns(%2.phy,0)"
LOOP
IF %op(%tmp(0),=,0)
STOP
ENDIF
$VOL N%tmp(0) U3
tmp 0 "%gns(%2.phy, %tmp(0))"
ENDLOOP

There are two lines that defines the volume. Volume during group call is set to 6 (U6):

$VOL N%tmp(0) U6

Volume is set to 3 (U3) when the group call is ended:

$VOL N%tmp(0) U3

U6 and U3 can be changed to other values if required.

Also note that group calls with "Alarm Priority" will automatically use the Volume Override feature of the AlphaCom, without any additional configuration required.
