Paging
To direct Speakerphone Paging to a group of extensions or to all extensions by
using Page All, lift the handset. Then, while listening to inside dial tone, dial the
extension number of the paging or Page All group, and speak into the handset.
To use Loudspeaker Paging while listening to inside dial tone, lift the handset and
dial #9 (Pickup), then dial the paging jack's line number and speak into the
handset. The paging jack is normally not assigned to a single-line telephone.

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, this restriction is removed.
A speakerphone paging group extension number can be programmed
onto an inside Auto Dial button.
Operators cannot use Barge-In to join speakerphone or loudspeaker
paging calls.
A speakerphone paging (voice-announced inside) call that is queued by
using Callback automatically becomes a ringing call. Callback cannot be
used for calls to a speakerphone paging group. Systems with
loudspeaker paging can be set up to allow calls to be queued for the
loudspeaker paging system by placing the loudspeaker paging line in its
own pool and having users access the paging system through the pool.
When the pool is busy, calls to the loudspeaker paging system can be
queued.
Call Waiting cannot be used for calls to busy speakerphone paging
groups.
Camp-On cannot be used for calls to busy speakerphone paging groups.
Group and loudspeaker paging calls cannot be added to a conference.
Digital communications devices and videoconferencing systems can be
assigned to paging groups. However, they should not be: they are not
alerted if there is a call to a paging group, and they cannot make group
pages.
A DSS button for a line/trunk programmed as a loudspeaker paging line is
used only to indicate whether the paging system is in use and cannot be
used to gain access to the loudspeaker paging system. A DSS button can
be used only to dial an extension for a paging group. When a DSS button
for a paging group is pressed, transfer is not automatically initiated.
When users with MLX display telephones use Group Paging, they see a
message on the display, indicating the number of the paging group. If a
loudspeaker paging jack is not programmed, Loudspeaker Page does
not appear as a feature choice on MLX display telephones.
