Whisper Paging setup

Last Updated : Sep 27, 2023 |

You give users the ability to use whisper paging by administering feature buttons or feature access codes.

You can give users feature buttons that make, answer, or block whisper pages. Using the Station screen, you can administer these buttons in any combination as appropriate:

  • Whisper Page Activation — to place a whisper page.

  • Answerback — to answer a whisper page.

    Pressing the answerback button automatically puts any active call on hold and connects the paged user to the paging user.

  • Whisper Page Off — to block whisper pages.

    If possible, assign this function to a button with a lamp so the user can tell when blocking is active. You cannot administer this button to a soft key.

To make a whisper page by dialing a feature access code, you simply need to enter a code in the Whisper Page Activation Access Code field on the Feature Access Code (FAC) screen. See Avaya Aura® Communication Manager Screen Reference, for information about the screens referred in this topic.
