Push-to-talk feature in Grandstream Wireless Phone WP8XX series

Grandstream Wireless phone WP8XX series Push to Talk feature

Description

Push-to-talk (PTT) is a feature found on some communication devices, such as two-way radios and walkie-talkies, that requires the user to press a button in order to transmit their voice. It is often used in situations where multiple people may be sharing the same communication channel and it is important to prevent accidental transmissions or background noise from interfering with communications. PTT is supported in the Grandstream wireless phones WP8XX series.

Provisioning

PTT and Group Paging in WP8XX phones use the Spectralink protocol and are compatible with other brands. The users can configure the PTT feature on WP8XX’s phone menu. Channels 1-25 are under the PTT category, and channels 26-50 are under the Group Paging category. Priority will override the normal channels and Emergency will override all other channels.
