transmission, the phone does not display any incoming calls but shows a message box indicating
there is an outgoing multicast page. The user can activate any available audio device to send a
page. The transmission is handled in a way similar to the outgoing call procedure.
If there is an incoming multicast page transmission with a higher priority, all other transmissions,
including lower-priority pages and incoming calls, are ignored. Active calls have the priority level 3
and are put on hold when a multicast page with a higher priority is transmitted.
The Multicast Paging can be configured in either of the following ways:
• by setting the relevant parameters in the
46xxsettings.txt
file
• by defining the group list in the web interface
Multicast Paging does not depend on the SIP server and can be configured independently.
However, the network used for Multicast Paging configuration must support multicast
transmission. This feature is supported in all the environments.
