Making Page Calls
Having setup and tested the paging equipment, users can begin to use it.
If the paging device has been connected via an analog extension port, then the page call features provided for different phones can also be used to page the extension number. Refer to the appropriate phone user guide. Otherwise users can dial the short code setup for paging.
The following methods can be used to make page calls.
Paging via a DSS Key
For extensions with DSS keys, paging can be assigned to one of those keys. The following method programs the key via the Manager application.
-
Start Manager and load the IP Office configuration.
-
Click  Users to display the list of Users. In the list, double-click the user whose DSS keys you want to edit.
-
Select the Button Programming tab (Digital Telephony tab on UK English systems).
-
For the required DSS button, select Dial as the Action. For the Telephone number enter the paging short code or the extension number or the extension name in quotes.
-
Click OK.
-
Save the new configuration.
Paging from Phone Manager
You can add a speed dial to Phone Manager in order to make paging calls.
-
Within the users Phone Manager, select the Speed Dials tab.
-
Right-click on the tab area.
-
-
If paging via a analog extension port, select Add User and select the appropriate user.
-
If paging via an analog trunk port, select New. Enter a name and enter the paging short code as the number.
Group Paging
If the paging connection is via an extension port, that extension can be included in a group with other pageable extensions. This allows page calls to be heard via the speaker and over pageable telephones.
To set up group paging:
-
Create a Hunt Group with all the users required as members.
-
Create a short code to call the Hunt Group using the DialPaging feature:
-
-
Short Code: *81
-
Telephone Number: 305
-
Line Group ID: 0
-
Feature: DialPaging
