Features
Paging
Some group members may not hear the announcement (because they are
making pages, for example), but the user is not notified unless none of the group
telephones can broadcast the page, in which case the caller hears a busy signal.
If an analog multiline telephone has had Voice Announce to Busy disabled
through programming and the user lifts the handset while listening to a
speakerphone page, he or she is disconnected from the page.
If a multiline telephone user has Voice Announce to Busy active and lifts the
handset while listening to a page, the page continues and he or she can still make
a call.
A maximum of three line/trunk jacks can be programmed for Loudspeaker Paging
and used to connect a single-zone or multizone paging system. Each zone
requires its own loudspeaker paging jack, and a user cannot dial a single access
code to reach more than one paging system at a time.
Using the speakerphone for making a Speakerphone or Loudspeaker Paging call
can cause a feedback tone.
Loudspeaker paging jacks are LS or GS line ports programmed as paging ports.
Up to three can be programmed. An extension jack cannot be programmed for
loudspeaker paging.
Any loop-start or ground-start/loop-start line/trunk jack can be assigned as a
loudspeaker paging jack. A line/trunk jack on an 800 DID, 100D, or 400EM
(tie trunk) module cannot be programmed as a loudspeaker paging jack.
A loudspeaker paging jack cannot be assigned to a pool that contains lines/trunks
used to make or receive outgoing calls.
When a line/trunk jack is assigned for Loudspeaker Paging, only the loudspeaker
paging system can be connected.
If the loudspeaker paging system is multizone, users must dial the appropriate
zone number specified by the paging system before making an announcement.
The system supports loudspeaker systems with talkback (bidirectional paging),
which allows users to respond to pages.
Prior to Release 2.1, users at extensions programmed with Forced Account Code
Entry need to enter an account code to use Loudspeaker Paging. In Release 2.1
and later systems, users at extensions programmed with Forced Account Code
Entry do not need to enter an account code to use Loudspeaker Paging.
