Defining Programmable Keys as Paging Dials

This section shows how to define a Programmable Key as a paging dial to page a group. You can
define up to five Programmable Keys to page up to five different paging groups. The paging
feature allows a live announcement to be made (paged) from a phone to a group of phones, to
notify a team (for example) that a meeting is about to commence at a certain venue. The paged
announcement is multicast via a designated group IP address, in real time, on all idle phones in
the group, without requiring listeners to pick up their receivers. The name of the group is
displayed on phone LCDs when the paging call comes in.
