A loudspeaker paging system or the Group Page feature makes it easy for an attendant to announce calls to people who are not always at the same location. You can set up the system so the attendant can page separate zones in- dependently. For example, a paging system in a medical group shared by several doctors could be set up with one zone covering only those locations specific to a particular doctor, such as a consulting office, lab, and examining room.

Similarly, the voice terminals in those same areas could make up a “group” for Group Page. Then, when a call comes in, the attendant can park the call and page the person the call is for without bothering anyone else.

You may want to change an attendant console to a non-attendant console if you need an additional voice terminal. Switches B through E on the Processor Module of the control unit represent attendant consoles with intercom numbers 11 through 14. To change the console’s function, set the appropriate switch to Normal (up). Turn the power off and then on again, and administer the console as you would any non-attendant voice terminal.

IMPORTANT: Be aware that when you change the setting of one of these switches, you erase all system line administration and voice terminal program- ming that is now in place for that voice terminal.
