Paging, Internal
Description
Internal Paging lets extension users broadcast announcements to other keyset users. When a user
makes a Zone Paging announcement, the announcement broadcasts to all idle extensions in the
zone dialed. With All Call Paging, the announcement broadcasts to all idle extensions programmed
to receive All Call Paging. An extension can be a member of only one Internal Paging Zone. Like
External Paging, Internal Paging allows a user to locate another employee or make an announce-
ment without calling each extension individually.
Combined Paging
Use Combined Paging when you want to simultaneously Page into an internal and corresponding
external zone. For example, you can Page your company’s warehouse and outside loading dock at
the same time. Combined Paging is available for Paging zones 1-8 and All Call. Optionally, you can
change the Combined Paging assignments. For example, you can associate External Paging Zone 1
with Internal Paging Zone 4. You can program a Function Key as a Combined Paging key. When an
All Call External Page Function Key is programmed, it will include both the external zones and the
assigned internal zone(s). If the internal page zone is busy or there are no extensions in a page
group, the announcement will be made on the external zones only.
Remove Paging Information from Display Phones
A Class of Service option is available in system programming to prevent display telephones from
showing incoming internal paging information. This allows the system to save processor time and
speed up system operation.
Conditions
(A.) Internal Paging does not require a 2PGDAD module.
(B.) You can assign any number of extensions to an Internal or All Call Paging Zone.
(C.) A system must have at least one extension port idle in order to make an Internal Page. If no
extension port is idle, the extension performing the Page will hear a busy signal.
(D.) With Combined Paging, the system may not allow a page over just the external page zone if the
internal zone is busy or if there are no extensions in a page group.
Default Setting
Enabled.
