Using TeleVantage with a paging system _____________________
There are several ways to use TeleVantage with a paging system:
Q Use the TeleVantage *15 telephone command to page a group of users over each user’s
speakerphone simultaneously. This option does not require an external paging system or
overhead speaker. See Using TeleVantage for more information.
Q Use an external paging device. See page 5-15.
Q Create an overhead paging system with hands-free answering. See page 5-15.
Using an external paging device with TeleVantage
You can attach an external paging device to a station or trunk port. For a station port, you must
then activate the hands-free feature for that extension as described in Administering
TeleVantage .

Creating an overhead paging system with hands-free answering
You can create a paging system by connecting a hands-free extension (an extension at which
hands-free answering is enabled) to an overhead speaker. To broadcast an announcement over
the paging system, a user dials the extension and is connected immediately to the speaker. For
more about configuring an extension for hands-free answering to create an overhead paging
system, see Chapter 7 in Administering TeleVantage.
