Paging a Group

Paging lets you activate the speakers and broadcast a message to all of
the available phones in a paging group. Your administrator defines the
members of a paging group and an extension to dial to page that group.
A phone in a group is available to receive pages if it has a speaker, unless:
the phone is not logged in
the phone has a call ringing, connected, or on hold
the phone has Do Not Disturb, Call Forwarding, or Forward to
Voicemail enabled.
Note that you do not need to be a member of a page group to send a
page to that group; you just need to know the extension for that group.
A page is subject to the following restrictions:
You cannot park, transfer, hold, conference, or pick up a page.
You cannot camp on a page group extension.
A page cannot be bridged (see
information about bridging).
If you are sending or receiving a page, you can drop the page by using
the speaker button to disconnect the page, by picking up and replacing
the receiver, or by pressing the Release button.
You can view the page groups, the group extensions, and the members
of those groups by accessing the VCX User Interface (see
VCX User Interface).
To page a group:
1 Pick up the handset.
2 Dial the appropriate page group extension.
When you dial the page group extension, speakers are activated on the
telephones that are members of the group.
3 Speak the message you want to broadcast into the handset.
4 Hang up when you are finished.
