Paging
All-Call Paging
All-call paging allows all stations to receive announcements through the station speaker
at once. The system can also send all-call paging to the paging port where it applies it to
the input of an external paging amplifier. Origination of announcements must be via the
station handset. A programmer can arrange each station to receive and/or originate
all-call page. He or she enables the ability to receive and originate all-call paging at a
station through station class of service programming.
External Paging Interface
A dedicated paging port or a spare line port can be interfaced with an external paging
amplifier. The paging amplifier can then be dial-accessed by stations in the system.
DTMF tones can be dialed through the line port to provide zone selection if provided by
the external paging amplifier. The dedicated paging port does not support any "talk-back'
capability even if such a feature is provided by the external equipment. The line class of
service programming arranges a line port for external paging interface. The system
precedes an announcement through the paging port with an alerting tone. Programmers
can choose between an intercom tone or a DTMF signaling tone for this paging alert
tone. They should choose the intercom tone for a soft alert and choose the DTMF tone
for a loud alert.
Meet-Me Answer Page
Any station user can dial a special code number in response to an all-call or zone page
and be connected to the paging party in a private conversation. All-call or zone paging is
provided to the stations through the station class of service programming.

Zone Paging

Zone paging allows groups of stations to receive announcements through the station
speakers. The programming can enable zone paging in up to four different zones. Zone
paging can also be received at the paging port where it can be connected to the input of
an external paging amplifier. The ability of each station to originate and/or receive a page
and the arrangement of the paging into different zones are controlled by station class of
service programming. Zone paging through the paging port is enabled by system class of
service programming.
