Direct One-way Notification

This type of notification is used when you want to send audio from a source endpoint to one or many destinations.

Your source endpoint can be a phone, talk-back speaker, Paging Relay with a line-in, or a device that generates audio output packets. The source endpoint can also come from an Input Stream Activator.

If your source endpoint supports softkeys, such as some phones, Revolution will display a Stop softkey that allows the sender to end the notification.

Scenarios include:

  • Sending a notification that relays the audio from any device that generates audio output packets.
  • Sending a notification that relays the audio from an Input Stream, where your trigger references any sort of trigger, and your source endpoint references your input stream.
  • Sending a notification when audio is initiated on an Input Stream and relaying that same audio. Your trigger and source endpoint would both reference the Input Stream.

Access:

  • Go to Notifications > Manage and select New Notification.
  1. Enter a descriptive Notification Name that is meaningful to your users.
  2. For Notification Type, select Direct One-Way.
  3. Complete the rest of the General Settings tab as desired. See General – what kind of notification is this?
  • If your notification is triggered by something other than the input stream:
    1. Enter the specific Activator and Trigger.
  • If your notification is triggered by the initiation of audio on an input stream:
    1. For Activator, select Stream.
    2. For Trigger, select the trigger created when you set up your Input Stream Activator.

    3. For Trigger Behavior, select how you want the trigger to behave. For this Notification Type, you also have the option of Toggle, where the trigger will activate an inactive notification or deactivate an active one.

You can use this section to create notification actions as part of the notification. See Add Endpoint Responses and Notification Action Types.

This example does not use any notification actions.

  1. Select your Source Endpoint. Note that as you type, the drop-down menu will self-filter.

    • If your source endpoint is the audio of an input stream:
      1. Select an endpoint created from your Input Stream Activator.
    • If your source endpoint comes from any other device:
      1. Select an endpoint that streams the audio to relay.

    Note: This field is only available with the Direct One-way notification type.

  2. Complete the Endpoint & Contact Selection tab as desired. See Endpoints & Contacts – who and what devices are receiving the notification?
