Paging

Pages must be made using the handset.

Note: Your station may or may not allow you to page (either internal or external zone paging). However, even if you cannot initiate a page from your station you may still answer a Meet-Me Page announcement. Contact your System Administrator to find out if you have any paging features available on your phone.

There are 4 ways to initiate a page: External Page, Internal Zone Page, All Call (System) Page, and Meet-Me Page:

External Paging

You can send a page to an external paging and/or amplifier system (such as out in a warehouse or outdoor area).

Internal Zone Paging

Also known as Paging Groups, Internal Zone Paging allows you to page a particular group of phones (such as only those phones in the front office or sales office areas).

Unlike the “External Paging” feature, Internal pages are made through the speaker on each phone.

Each station in your phone system can be part of in any or all zones, or in no zone at all. However, the capability of initiating a page does not rely on whether or not you are part of a Paging Group. In addition, the reverse is true: being a member of a Paging Group does not necessarily mean you can initiate a page (see Note above).

Your system may also provide a “warning” tone to alert your group that a page is about to be made.

Note: Internal Zone pages are time limited. If the user exceeds the allotted paging time, the page is automatically disconnected.

All Call (or System) Page

You can send a page to every station within the phone system. A warming tone may be programmed to sound to let users know that a page is about to be made (such as when everyone is being called to a company-wide event or if the receptionist cannot locate a specific user to take an urgent call).

Note: All Call Pages are time limited. If the user exceeds the allotted paging time, the page is automatically disconnected.
