The page function provides an easy method of making a high priority talk
only call to a preselected group of target intercoms. Up to 20 intercom units
can be selected as page targets and each unit can be configured to treat
received page calls as a priority over normal intercom calls. See the Page
Settings web page on page 36 for details.
Making a Page
To make a page call, press the page button. The button will slowly flash
green if at least one of the configured page targets is able to receive the
page. A configured target may not be receiving the page for a number of
reasons. These include:
• The target unit may be switched off or not connected to the network.
• The target unit may be already involved in a page call, either outgoing or
incoming.
• The target unit may be involved in an intercom call and the page priority
option on that unit is disabled, meaning that the intercom call takes
priority.
Receiving a Page
When a page is received and accepted, the page button fast flashes red. If
the page priority option is disabled, and an intercom call is currently active,
the page will be ignored.
During a Page
During a page call, the microphone audio signal from the paging unit will
be heard by the units that accepted the page. The page targets do not need
to respond to the page to hear the audio. Any current intercom calls on the
units receiving the page will be suspended and any active monitor channels
on the paging and receiving units will be muted for the duration of the page
call.
Ending a Page
A page call can only be terminated by the unit that initiated it. To end
a page call, press the green flashing page button. The page is ended
immediately and the button stops flashing. Any suspended intercom calls
on the target page units are resumed and any active monitor channels on
the paging and receiving units are unmuted.
