With the Group Paging feature, you can create a page group, and assign extensions as members of the group. You assign an identifying extension to each page group, which users dial to page the group. When a user dials the extension of the paging group, Communication Manager activates the speakers on all the telephones in the group. Speakerphone paging is one-way communication: Group members hear the person place the page, but cannot respond directly.

The Group Paging feature now supports SIP phones. SIP phones not only originate a group page but also become a part of the paging group. The behavior of non-SIP phones remains unchanged.
