Managing group communication
Group communication features allow coworkers to communicate with each other
more efficiently. This chapter shows you how to administer your system so users
can place a variety of pages from their phones or use their phones as intercoms.
You can also give specific users permission to monitor other users’ calls or to
interrupt active calls with important messages.

Setting up voice paging over

loudspeakers

Use this procedure to allow users to make voice pages over an external
loudspeaker system connected to your DEFINITY ECS. If you’re using an
external paging system instead of an auxiliary trunk circuit pack, don’t use this
procedure. External systems typically connect to a trunk or station port and are not
administered through the Loudspeaker Paging screen.
Before you start
Your switch must have one or more auxiliary trunk circuit packs with enough
available ports to support the number of paging zones you define. Each paging
zone requires 1 port. Refer to the DEFINITY ECS System Description for
information on specific circuit packs.
