Paging, External

• Description
With External Paging, a user can broadcast announcements over paging equipment connected to external
Paging zones. When a user pages on of these external zones, the system broadcasts the announcement
over the speakers. Like Internal Paging, External Paging allows a user to locate another employee or
make an announcement without calling each extension individually.
One external paging zone is provided as a standard feature of the system. If more than one external pag-
ing zone is required, a 2PGDU unit must be installed, providing an additional 2 zones. In addition, each
external zone of the 2PGDU card can have an associated relay contact. When a user pages to a zone, the
corresponding contact activates (closes). This provides for Paging amplifier control. Refer to the system
hardware manual for additional details.
Combined Paging
Use Combined Paging when you want to simultaneously Page into an internal and corresponding external
zone. For example, you can Page your company's warehouse and outside loading dock at the same time.
Combined Paging is available for Paging zones 1-6 and All Call. Refer to Paging, Internal for more on
setting up Combined Paging. In addition, you can program a Function Key as a Combined Paging key.
Using the External Page Function Key, when an All Call External Page Function Key is programmed, it
will include both the external zones and the assigned internal zone(s). If the internal page zone is busy or
there are no extensions in a page group, the announcement will be made on the external zones only.
Remove Paging Information from Display Phones
A Class of Service option is available in system programming to prevent display telephones from show-
ing incoming paging information. This allows the system to save processor time and speed up system
operation.
