Multicast Paging

With the Multicast Paging feature, you can receive a page that will be automatically played on the
phone. If configured by the system administrator, you can send a multicast page to a group of
phones in the network.
An incoming multicast page is played on the phone speaker. When the page is played, the Phone
screen displays the Page from <group name> notification during the whole time of
transmission.
All configured multicast groups that you can send a page to are available in the Features menu.
You can add, move or delete the multicast page keys from the Phone screen by the common
customization procedure.
Active calls with a lower priority than the multicast page are put on hold, all lower-priority incoming
calls are ignored.
A multicast page is ignored if the agent is on an active call and has the Do Not Disturb status, or
making an emergency call.
