Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and Group
Paging
The Group Paging feature enables you to make pages —one-way audio announcements — to users
subscribed to a page group. The Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature is a collaborative tool that enables you to
exchange broadcasts to users subscribed to a PTT channel, much like a walkie-talkie. Your system
administrator can set up both features on your phone.
Your system administrator can define up to 25 Paging Groups or Channels. Your system administrator
may assign a label to each group or channel that easily identifies the phones in the group or channel (for
example, All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives). Each group or channel will have one of the
following priorities:
• Normal—By default, broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1 to 23 are considered Normal
broadcasts. If two users begin a broadcast on the same group/channel at the same time, the
phone with the lower serial number will continue to transmit while the other phone will enter the
receiving state. By default, all phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to
Group/Channel 1.
