Paging/Intercom - AMX SIP Communications Gateway CSG-500 Operation/Reference Manual

Telephone System Configuration

Paging/Intercom

The Paging/Intercom tab allows you to set up 1-way paging or 2-way intercom for calling an individual or a
group of extensions. This can be used to make an announcement over the speakerphone of a group of phones.
Phones which are part of a page/intercom group will not ring, but will immediately answer into speakerphone
mode. AMX recommends no more than four users in a simultaneous page/intercom group.
This functionality is dependent on a compatible and correctly configured handset. For
a user to be able to dial a page/intercom group, the 'pagegroups' local context must
be included in the user's dialplan.
