Programming instructions

Paging
Your system provides an all-call or a zone page feature that you access by dialing
special codes. This arrangement sounds your voice announcement through the
telephone speakers or through an external paging unit.
Your system installer can interface a dedicated paging port or a spare line port
with an external paging amplifier. You can then access the paging amplifier and
select specific zones for paging, if applicable, by dialing codes on your station.
The dedicated paging port does not support any “talk-back’ capability even if
such a feature is provided by the external equipment. Your system installer can
also arrange a line port for external paging interface. The system precedes an
announcement through the paging port with an alerting tone and installers can
choose between an intercom tone or a DTMF signaling tone for this paging alert
tone. They usually choose the intercom tone for a soft alert and choose the
DTMF tone for a loud alert.

1. LIFT handset.
2. PRESS INTERCOM AND CHOOSE one of the following
options:
•
DIAL extension number of station equipped and enabled
for paging (see programming section of this user’s guide),
or
•
PRESS paging button assigned by the installer, or
•
DIAL 89 for special paging port.
3. MAKE announcement.
4. HANG UP to end.
All-call paging allows you 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 announce
-
ments must be via your station handset. The system installer enables your
station’s ability to receive and originate all-call paging at a station.
Zone paging allows groups of stations to receive announcements through the
station speakers. Your system installer 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. Installer’s control the
ability of each station to originate and/or receive a page and the arrangement of
the paging into different zones.
