Group Paging allows users to make voice announcements that are heard by a
particular group of employees or by everyone. The announcement is heard
through the telephone speakers rather than on an external loudspeaker paging
system.
You can assign six paging groups of selected employees, such as secretarial
pools, committee members, or departments, who need to hear announcements.
Each group can have as many as 10 extension numbers.
The seventh paging group is factory set to page all extension numbers. This
group is useful if the system does not have an external loudspeaker paging
system.
The system automatically reserves extension numbers 793 through 799 for
paging groups. Extension 799 is the page-all group. Decide whether to keep or
to reassign the factory-set extension numbers. Keep in mind that you can
provide one-touch use of Group Paging to operators with Direct Station
Selectors if you renumber to extensions within the Page button ranges.
