Page a Group of Phones (Multicast Paging)

Page a Group of Phones (Multicast Paging)

Your administrator can configure your phone as a part of a paging group. In a paging group, your phone can
automatically answer pages from other Multiplatform phones in the phone system. Each paging group has a
unique number associated with it. Your administrator gives you the configured paging group numbers. When
your phone is paged, you hear three short beeps. The phone establishes one-way audio between you and the
phone that called you. You do not have to accept the page.
Procedure
Dial the number of the paging group.

Multiple Lines

If you share phone numbers with other people, you could have multiple lines on your phone. When you have
multiple lines, you have more calling features available to you.

Answer the Oldest Call First

You can answer the oldest call available on all your phone lines, including Hold Reversion and Park Reversion
calls that are in an alerting state. Incoming calls always have priority over Held or Park Reversion calls.
When working with multiple lines, you typically press the line button for the incoming call you want to answer.
If you just want to answer the oldest call regardless of line, press Answer.

View All Calls on Your Phone

You can view a list of all your active calls—from all your phone lines—sorted in chronological order, oldest
to newest.
The list of all calls is useful if you have multiple lines or if you share lines with other users. The list displays
all your calls together.

Shared Lines on Your Multiplatform Desk Phone

You can share a single phone number with one or more of your coworkers. For example, as an administrative
assistant, you might be responsible for screening calls for the person that you support.
When you share a phone number, you can use that phone line just like you would any other line, but you
should be aware of these special characteristics about shared lines:
• The shared phone number can be configured to appear on a maximum of 35 devices.
• The shared phone number appears on all phones that share the number.
