User considerations for Voice Paging Over Loudspeakers

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

Users page by dialing the trunk access code assigned to a zone and speaking into their handset. For your users’ convenience, you might also want to consider the following options:

  • Add the paging trunk access codes to an abbreviated dialing list and allow users to page using the list.

  • Assign individual trunk access codes to Autodial buttons.

  • Assign individual trunk access codes to Busy buttons. The status lamp tells the user whether or not the trunk is busy.

  • For attendants, you can provide one-button paging access by assigning trunk access codes for paging zones to the Direct Trunk Group Select buttons on the attendant console.

With an appropriate class of restriction, remote callers can also make loudspeaker pages.

When deluxe paging is enabled, if a user with an active call dials the trunk access code for a paging zone the active call is automatically parked.

  • Users dial the trunk access code + # to page and park an active call on their own extensions.

  • Users with console permission can park a call on any extension by dialing the trunk access code + the extension.

  • Attendants or users with console permissions can park calls to common shared extensions.

  • Parked calls can be retrieved from any telephone. Paged users simply dial the answer back feature access code + the extension where the call is parked.
