29.2 Paging Zone Settings
NOTE: Users cannot add Reach handsets to page zones.
29.2.1 Paging Zone Names
The name assigned to each of the Paging Zones (0 - 9 and corresponding extensions
460 - 469†) can be modified to provide a meaningful descriptive name.
To change the names of the zone:
1. Navigate to Phone System > Paging.
2. Go to the Paging Zone Names section, and click Modify to open the
configuration page.
3. Type a new description in the Name field corresponding to each Zone.
4. Click Update to save changes. 0.
When changing the names of any Paging Zones, handsets with a PFK defined for
those Paging Zones will not use the new name until after rebooting the handset.
29.2.2 Pre-page Tone
The default configuration for Paging Zone plays a tone before starting the paging
message. Users hear a tone to indicate the channel is open and to begin speaking.
29.2.3 Multi-site Paging
Enable handsets to become part of paging zones that span multiple sites. For setting
up Multi-site Paging, see the Allworx Advanced Multi-site Setup Guide, Release 7.5.
29.2.4 Paging Zone Operation on Handsets
Add or remove each applicable lineout and Allworx handset from each of the paging
zones. The system default enables each applicable lineout and handset for Paging
Zone 0 and disables all others on the handset configuration page. Options include:
• Pages always accepted.
• Pages accepted only while on hook.
• Pages never accepted.
If you change the zones for a handset, it is necessary to reboot the handset for the
changes to take effect.

Extensions may vary per system. If you are using a non-default Internal Dial Plan, consult the
Phone Features tab of the My Allworx Manager page to determine what extensions are being
used for the corresponding feature.
