10.7 Assigning Extensions to Paging Groups
The system provides eight extension paging groups per tenant group to allow you to partition the system into sep-
arate departments for page announcements.
Extension paging group members receive internal zone pages directed to their paging group. (Paging groups are
defined in the DX-80 Numbering Plan, page 3. For more details about modifying the numbering plan, see Section
4.20,
Customizing the Numbering Plan . The External Pager ID is assigned when programming the system fea-
tures; for details, see Section 4.11, Assigning External Pager ID .)
The following conditions apply to paging groups to extensions.
• You can assign an extension to one paging group only.
• When page announcements are made, all idle extensions in the paging group receive the voice announcement.
• Busy extensions, extensions in DND, and extensions that have invoked Page Deny at their extension will not
receive page announcements.
• Extensions that are receiving page announcements are busy for other intercom calls.
