Multicast Paging

Multicast Paging allows you to broadcast instant audio announcements to users who are listening to a specific mul-
ticast group on a specific channel.
The phone supports the following 31 channels:
0: Broadcasts are sent to channel 0. Note that the Yealink IP phones running old firmware version (old paging
l
mechanism) can be regarded as listening to channel 0. It is the default channel.
1 to 25: Broadcasts are sent to channel 1 to 25. We recommend that you specify these channels when broad-
l
casting with Polycom IP phones which have 25 channels you can listen to.
26 to 30: Broadcasts are sent to channel 26 to 30. We recommend that you specify these channels when broad-
l
casting with Yealink IP phones running new firmware version (new paging mechanism).
Note : All IP phones in the multicast paging group must be deployed in the same subnet since a broadcast is used. The phone
can only send/receive broadcasts to/from the listened channels. Other channels' broadcasts will be ignored automatically by
the IP phone.

Sending Multicast Paging
Your phone supports up to 31 groups for paging. You can assign a label to each group to identify the phones in the
group, such as All, Sales, or HR.
You can set a line key as Multicast Paging key or Paging List key on the phone, which allows you to send
announcements to the phones with pre-configured multicast address(es) on specific channel(s).
Note : Multicast RTP is one way only from the sender to the multicast address(es) (receiver). For outgoing RTP multicasts,
all other existing calls on the phone will be placed on hold.
