Push-to-talk and Group Paging
The Push-to-talk (PTT) and Group Paging features are supported on all Spectralink 84-Series
handset models.
The Group Paging feature enables pages
—one-way audio announcements — to users
subscribed to a page
group
. Paging mode was originally intended primarily for desktop phones
but has some use for Wi-Fi handsets that may or may not also be using PTT. In Page mode,
announcements play only through the handset
’s speakerphone.
