Group Page

DESCRIPTION

CONSIDERATIONS

The system administrator can set up Group Page groups so anyone in the system can use the Group Page feature to page up to 20 people at a time directly through the voice terminal speakers.

You can have up to three paging groups. The Page-All group consists of all voice terminals in the system; groups 1 and 2 can have up to 20 voice terminals in each group.

If the system administrator is using a 10-button voice terminal to administer the system, he or she cannot change the factory-set Group Page group assignments for the system.

If necessary, one voice terminal can be assigned to more than one paging group.

You can program buttons for the groups you want to page. Or, you can save available feature buttons for other uses and use a dial code to use this feature.

If someone in the Group Page group pick up the handset during a Group Page announcement, he or she is connected to the person making the announcement, and the page announcement is terminated.

When someone in the MERLIN Plus system has activated the Voice Announcement Disable feature for his or her voice terminal, he or she cannot hear a Group Page announcement.

If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this information.

When the system is first set up, the system has the following Group Page groups:

Group 1 = Voice Terminals 10 through 19

Group 2 = Voice Terminals 20 through 29

Page-All = Voice Terminals 10 through 29

If these group assignments are not satisfactory for the system, the administrator can add or delete voice terminals from the individual groups.

The Page-All group, the paging group containing all the voice terminals in the system, cannot be administered.

Before you begin to administer Group Page groups, refer to "Paging Groups" on your "System Configuration Form."

To add or remove a voice terminal from a paging group:

1Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P and touching

Administer.

2Dial *71 for group 1 or *72 for group 2.

A green light goes on next to the Auto Intercom button of any voice terminal already assigned to that paging group.
