for example, a 3-party conference call is calculated by adding the fixed pairwise loss for
each pair of ports to the value for 2-party loss shown on the
If this total is less than the end-to-end total loss value configured for a 3-party conference,
calculate the difference, and divide the difference by 2. Add 1 to this figure, and the result
is the amount of loss applied to the call.

Loudspeaker paging

You can connect Avaya Communication Manager to loudspeaker systems and allow users to page from
their phones. You can administer up to 9 separate zones (sets of loudspeakers) on Communication
Manager, so an announcement can be made to one group or location without disturbing people who don't
need to hear the announcement. Auxiliary trunks connect the speakers in each zone to ports on an
auxiliary trunk circuit pack.
Brief description
Avaya Communication Manager offers 2 types of loudspeaker paging. You can use each separately, and
you can also use both together.
Voice paging
Chime paging
How users place voice pages
With standard voice paging, users page by dialing the trunk access code assigned to the zone they wish to
page. If users have an active call, they must manually put the call on hold or park it before they dial the
trunk access code.
When deluxe paging is enabled, users can automatically park an active call when they page, as described
below.

If frequent voice pages are undesirable, you can assign a unique
series of chimes (a chime code) to each extension. The chime code
assigned to that extension plays over the speakers whenever that
extension is paged.
Chime paging is sometimes called Code Calling Access.
