Paging

Groups

Paging Groups feature works similar to standard paging, except this feature allows you to organize extensions to multiple paging groups and assign unique number to each of them. As this feature is used with access code *600, paging group number is entered after the access code.

For example, if we assign number 300 to paging group and add 4 extensions to it, once we dial *600300 we will be able to broadcast the message over intercom to all the extensions added to paging group 300.

Group Name: Paging group name

Number: Paging Group number (ex.300, Once the user dials *600 + this number, all extensions assigned to this paging group will be paged)

Destinations: Extensions associated with a paging group (ex. 102,103,105...)

    • Edit the paging group configuration (ex. Click to edit the paging group configuration)

    • Delete the paging group from the system (ex. Click to delete a paging group from the system)

Add/Edit Paging Group

Clicking on 'Add Paging Group' or 'Edit' will open the following options:

Group Name: Unique Paging group name (ex. Set 'Test Paging group' here to create the same paging group)

Number: Paging group extension number

Destinations: System extensions associated with the paging group (ex. 101, 102, 103... Selected extensions will be paged)

Quiet mode: Does not play beep to paged extensions.

Speakerphone Paging

To set up Speakerphone page option, users will have to edit Enhanced Services and enable Speakerphone Page service. Also, on extension, under Advanced Options -> Speakerphone Page Auto-Answer SIP Header (section) -> Choose Device Type, you will select device accordingly.

SNOM phones will need some manual configuration in order for Speakerphone Paging to work. In phones web interface under Advanced -> Behavior, you will need to set:

Enable Intercom - On

Type of Intercom Answering - Handsfree

'Answer after' Policy - Always

Speakerphone Paging codes

Speakerphone Page: Access code for transmitting a message to multiple phones via their loudspeakers (ex. Dial '*399' to speakerphone all Extensions defined under Enhanced Services)

Single Speakerphone Page: Access code for transmitting a message to phones loudspeaker (ex. Dial '*400 + $EXTENSION' to transmit a message to provided extension/phone loudspeaker)

Two Way Speakerphone Page: In order to start two way communication with preferred extension on the system dial *400 + * + $EXTENSION. For example, if you would like to initiate two way speakerphone paging with extension 1038 you will dial: *400*1038.
