Paging

Description
Use Paging to broadcast announcements or quickly locate co-workers.
Paging lets extension users broadcast announcements to other keyset users and to external Paging speakers.
Paging allows a user to locate a co-worker or make an announcement without calling each extension individ-
ually. There are two types of Paging: Internal Paging and External Paging.

Internal Paging

Internal Paging allows extension users to broadcast announcements into 7 internal Paging Zones and All Call
(all zone). When a user makes a zone page, the announcement broadcasts to all extensions assigned to the
specified zone. If the user makes an All Call announcement, the announcement simultaneously broadcasts to
extensions in all zones. All Call Paging automatically overrides any zone pages already in progress. A sys-
tem timer can optionally limit the duration of Paging announcements.
To simplify Paging access, a keyset can have Feature Keys assigned as Page keys.

External Paging

When a user pages into Internal All Call Page or Internal page Zone 1, the system simultaneously broadcasts
the announcement into the External Paging Zone. In DSX-40, access to the external zone is via the audio
output minijack located on the equipment cabinet. In DSX-80/160, access to the external zone is via the
audio output minijack on the CPU. Refer to the system's Hardware Manual for additional installation
details.
When connecting External Paging equipment, be sure to adhere to the following requirements:

Page Relay Control

Page Relay Control allows an announcement broadcast into a Paging zone to activate a system relay. This relay
is typically used to activate a customer-provided Paging amplifier. Each of the two Door Box circuits in the
2PGDAD Module has an associated control relay. In addition, each of the two built-in Door Box ports in the
DSX-40 has a control relay. In either system, you can assign these relays for Door Box strike control or Page
Relay Control, but not both. If the system relay is programmed for Page Relay Control, and an extension or
line is set up to ring over External Paging, the relay will activate when the extension or line rings.
