Paging from the Console
Paging from the Console
Three types of paging are available from the console: Public Address (PA) Paging, Extension Paging, and Park and Paging.

If your system has external paging equipment, you can place a call on hold, and then page for someone to pick up the call from the console Hold slots. You can also use PA Paging to make public announcements.
Your paging equipment may be set up to access several areas or “zones.” If so, you use the Page key to speak to all zones at once and access codes to speak to individual zones. These codes are available from your communications department.

•If any of the paging zones are busy, the display shows “Busy” on the second line. Press [Override] to interrupt the page in progress.
