[cisco-voip] Sending a tone after pickup, before voice

These are the kinds of random requests I get :-)

 

Currently we've got 5 individual buildings with 5 separate PA systems
(tied to VoIP using 5 ATA 186 and 5 Viking RAD-1a devices to pickup on
ring).  Currently they are used only for in-house paging (a 4digit
extension on the ATA with a translation pattern, unique to each
building, tied to the phones for 1digit dialing)  They now want to be
able to call in from a central place and connect to all PA systems
simultaneously.  On top of that, they want to play a loud tone of some
kind over the PA before the Central voice statement comes over the PA.
Think navy whistle followed by "now hear this, now hear this, everyone
report to location X for a briefing".

 

Ideas?

 

I'm pretty sure a broadcast hunt group won't work since the first RAD1A
to pickup will stop all the others from picking up (unicast, not
multicast).  If this can't be done with build in Cisco CUCM options, can
something like this be attained via a 3rd party product, like Berbee's
product?
