Paging 87
PagingPaging lets you activate the speakers and broadcast a message to all of the available phones in a paging group. Your administrator defines the members of a paging group and an extension to dial to page that group. A phone in a group is available to receive pages if it has a speaker, unless:
■ the phone is not logged in
■ the phone has a call ringing, connected, or on hold
■ the phone has Do Not Disturb, Call Forwarding, or Forward to Voicemail enabled.
Note that you do not need to be a member of a page group to send a page to that group; you just need to know the extension for that group.
A page is subject to the following restrictions:
■ You cannot park, transfer, hold, conference, or pick up a page. ■ You cannot camp on a page group extension.
■ A page cannot be bridged (see Enabling Bridged Extensions for information about bridging).
If you are sending or receiving a page, you can drop the page by using the speaker button to disconnect the page, by picking up and replacing the receiver, or by pressing the Release button.
Paging a Group You can view the page groups, the group extensions, and the members of those groups by accessing the VCX User Interface (see Accessing the VCX User Interface).
To page a group:
1 Pick up the handset.
2 Dial the appropriate page group extension.
When you dial the page group extension, speakers are activated on the telephones that are members of the group.
3 Speak the message you want to broadcast into the handset.
4 Hang up when you are finished.
