Paging 2 - 6 - AT&T SYSTEM 25 Manual

This feature provides users with dial access or feature button access to paging equipment.
A single-line or multiline voice terminal user (including the attendant) can access paging
equipment by dialing the appropriate paging system access code. Depending upon the
capabilities and options of the paging system it may be necessary to dial individual zones
once the paging equipment has been accessed. (A zone is a number of paging loudspeakers
that form a logical group. A zone might include all of the loudspeakers in a given room, or
all of the loudspeakers in different areas of a building that share a common function. )
System 25 can provide an interface to paging that require a ground start trunk port, a loop
start trunk port, or an industry-standard tip/ring station line port. The exact interface
depends upon the paging system's requirements.
A paging system that is interfaced to System 25 via a ground start trunk port, a loop start
trunk port, or an auxiliary trunk port can be administered to be dial restricted. This restricts
users from accessing the equipment unless they are assigned DSS buttons with paging access
codes. A paging system that is interfaced to System 25 via an industry-standard tip/ring
station line port may not be administered to be dial restricted.
A DID call may access a paging code. This allows an outside user to dial in and utilize
the Paging System. Dial restricting the paging code will block this interaction. Incoming
Tie Trunk calls can access paging ports connected to Auxiliary Trunk circuit packs. If
administered as a Tandem Trunk, an incoming Tie Trunk can also access other types of
paging ports.
Paging is particularly useful when used in conjunction with the Park feature. When users
are away from their locations and receive a call, the call can be answered and parked by
another user. The called part y can then be paged and told what extension number to call to
retrieve the parked call. The called part y can then retrieve the call from any voice terminal.
For additional information on the Park feature, see the entry for "Park" on page 2-69.
