This section provides information about how the Group Paging feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits of the Group Paging feature in any feature configuration.
Attendant Intrusion
Attendants cannot intrude on group pages. If the attendant tries to intrude on the originator of the page, the intrusion attempt succeeds. However, all group page members can hear both the paging originator and the attendant.
Auto Exclusion and Manual Exclusion
Bridged appearances are not allowed on the page. Therefore, the Auto Exclusion and the Manual Exclusion features are disabled. Auto Exclusion is disabled because there are no bridged appearances to alert when the page terminates.
Auto Hold
Auto Hold does not put a group page on hold. The page is dropped, and the incoming call is answered.
Automatic Callback
Automatic Callback is disabled when a user calls an active page group.
Bridging
Bridging is disabled on this feature. A bridged appearance of a group member does not receive any indication of a call when the page arrives. The bridged appearance cannot bridge onto the page.

Pages do not follow the coverage paths of the group members. A page group cannot be a coverage point.

Group members who receive a page cannot park the call.

Other extensions cannot pick up a group page.

Group pages cannot be forwarded.
Conference
Neither group members who receive a page, nor the originator of the page, can conference the page to other extensions.

Page groups cannot be administered across DCS servers or switches. DCS is not supported.
Do Not Disturb
If a member of a page group activates Do Not Disturb, that member does not receive pages.
Go to Cover
The Go to Cover feature is ignored because group pages do not follow coverage.
Hold
The originator of a group page can put the page on hold, but group members cannot.
