Paging And Intercom - Aastra 6757i User Manual

Paging and Intercom

Intercom allows you to immediately page all phones in the paging group.
Applications - Paging & Intercom. To add a new paging group, click "New Paging
Group" in the options on the top right corner.
● Paging Extension - The number users will dial to page this group.
● Group Description - Provide a descriptive title for this Page Group.
● Device List - Add devices to this paging group by click and dragging users from the
"Not Selected" group on the right to the "Selected" group on the left.
● Busy Extensions -
○ Skip will not page any busy extension. All other extensions will be paged
as normal
○ Force will not check if the device is in use before paging it. This means
conversations can be interrupted by a page (depending on how the
device handles it). This is useful for "emergency" paging groups.
○ Whisper will attempt to use the ChanSpy capability on SIP channels,
resulting in the page being "sent to the device's earpiece "whispered" to
the user but not heard by the remote party. If ChanSpy is not supported
on the device or otherwise fails, no page will get through. It probably does
not make too much sense to choose duplex if using Whisper mode.
● Duplex - Paging is typically one way for announcements only. Checking this will
make the paging duplex, allowing all phones in the paging group to be able to talk
and be heard by all. This makes it like an "instant conference"
Parking
This module is used to configure parking lots. You can transfer a call to the parking
lot extension and the call will enter one of a number of available "Lot" positions,
making it available for any extension to pick up. Applications - Parking Lots. Click
Default Lot to configure/make changes to your Lot.
● Parking Lot Extension - This is the extension where you will transfer a call to park it.
● Parking Lot Name - Provide a descriptive title for this Parking Lot.
● Parking Lot Starting Position - The starting postion of the parking lot
● Number of Slots - The total number of parking lot spaces to configure. Example, if
70 is the extension and 8 slots are configured, the parking slots will be 71-78. Users
can transfer a call directly into a parking slot.
● Parking Timeout - The timeout period in seconds that a parked call will attempt to
ring back the original parker if not answered.
● Parking Music Class - This is the music class that will be played to a parked call
while in the parking lot UNLESS the call flow prior to parking the call explicitly set a
different music class, such as if the call came in through a queue or ring group.
● BLF Capabilities - Enable this to have Asterisk 'hints' generated to use with BLF
buttons.
● Find Slot - Next: If you want the parking lot to seek the next sequential parking slot
relative to the the last parked call instead of seeking the first available slot. First: Use
the first parking lot slot available.
● Pickup Courtesy Tone - Whom to play the courtesy tone to when a parked call is
retrieved.
● Announcement - Optional message to be played to the call prior to sending back to
the Originator or the Alternate Destination.
● Come Back To Origin - Where to send a parked call that has timed out. If set to yes
then the parked call will be sent back to the originating device that sent the call to this
parking lot. If the origin is busy then we will send the call to the Destination selected
below. If set to no then we will send the call directly to the destination selected below.
