Paging
When the extension number for a speakerphone paging group is dialed by using
an SA or ICOM button, the announcement over speakerphones on all telephones
assigned to the group. If the extension dialed is for the Page All group, the
announcement is heard on speakerphones throughout the system. A
speakerphone paging group member does not hear a group page if one of the
following conditions exists:
■
The telephone has no speakerphone.
■
The paging group member is using the speakerphone.
■
The paging group member is on an analog multiline telephone, and the
system manager has removed Voice Announce to Busy from the
extension.
■
The paging group member has disabled voice announcements.
■
The paging group member has an MLX telephone and either is
programming (extension, centralized, or system) or testing the phone.
■
The paging group member has an analog multiline telephone and is in
extension programming. (Speakerphone pages are received on analog
multiline telephones in test mode.)
■
The paging group member is using Do Not Disturb.
When a group member does not hear the announcement for any of these
reasons, the caller is not notified unless all extensions in the group cannot hear
the page, in which case the caller hears a busy signal.
The people being paged can listen only to the page over the speakerphone and
cannot respond to the person making the page.
Loudspeaker Paging

9
Loudspeaker Paging is used when a loudspeaker paging system is connected to
the system on a line/trunk jack programmed for Loudspeaker Paging. Pages over
a loudspeaker paging system are heard everywhere in the building or only in a
particular area, depending on whether or not the loudspeaker system is a
multizone paging system.
Considerations and Constraints
2
9
A telephone without a speakerphone, loudspeaker, or speakerphone adjunct
cannot be a member of a speakerphone paging group.
After using Loudspeaker Paging, users must remember to disconnect the paging
call. Otherwise, the loudspeaker paging system may not be available for someone
else.
When a user tries to page a speakerphone paging group that is receiving a voice
announcement, the user hears a busy signal.
