Sending Multicast Paging
Your phone supports up to 31 groups for paging. You can assign a label to each group to identify the phones in the
group, such as All, Sales, or HR.
You can set a line key as Multicast Paging key or Paging List key on the phone, which allows you to send
announcements to the phones with pre-configured multicast address(es) on specific channel(s).
Note
: Multicast RTP is one way only from the sender to the multicast address(es) (receiver). For outgoing RTP multicasts,
all other existing calls on the phone will be placed on hold.
