Paging, External
n Description
With External Paging, a user can broadcast announcements over paging equipment connected to
external Paging zones. When a user pages one of these external zones, the system broadcasts the
announcement over the speakers. Like Internal Paging, External Paging allows a user to locate another
employee or make an announcement without calling each extension individually.
The External Paging zones requires a port on a 2PGDU unit, with a maximum of two external paging
circuits per unit. You must have three 2PGDU unit to get the six external zones. In addition, each
external zone has an associated relay contact. When a user pages to a zone, the corresponding contact
activates (closes). This provides for Paging amplifier control. Refer to the XN120 Getting Started
Guide 991409-5 and 2PGDU Guide 991420-5 for additional details.
Combined Paging
Use Combined Paging when you want to simultaneously Page into an internal and corresponding
external zone. For example, you can Page your company's warehouse and outside loading dock at the
same time. Combined Paging is available for Paging zones 1-6 and All Call. Refer to Paging, Internal
for more on setting up Combined Paging. In addition, you can program a Function Key as a Combined
Paging key. Using the External Page Function Key, when an All Call External Page Function Key is
programmed, it will include both the external zones and the assigned internal zone(s). If the internal
page zone is busy or there are no extensions in a page group, the announcement will be made on the
external zones only.
Remove Paging Information from Display Phones
A Class of Service option is available in system programming to prevent display telephones from
showing incoming paging information (for combined page operation). This allows the system to save
processor time and speed up system operation.
Conditions
A) External Paging requires 2PGDU unit and customer-provided Paging equipment.
B) With Combined Paging, the system will allow a page over just the external page zone if the
internal zone is busy or if there are no extensions in a page group.
Default Setting
No External Paging defined.
