PAGE ZONES

4.155 When you select System\Devices and Feature Codes\Page Zones, a list including the
local node and any remote nodes appears. Page zone programming differs for Local Page
Zones and Remote Node Page Zones.
4.156 There can be up to 10 page zones (50 if using a CP Server). The default database con-
tains no page zones. Page zones may be equipped as needed through DB Programming. They
may be removed by right-clicking and choosing Delete.
4.157 To prepare for page zone programming, make a list of the phones, trunks, and/or the
external paging port(s) included in local paging zones. Devices can be in more than one page
zone. In the default state, all phones are assigned to page zone 1.
NOTE:
system operation is affected when a page is placed to a particular page zone, remove some
phones from that zone or change to external paging for the area served by that page zone.
4.158 All phones and trunks within a page zone must reside on the same node as the page
zone. However, a page zone can contain external page ports that are located on other nodes, if
they are programmed as off-node devices on the local node (see
