Paging lets you connect to loudspeaker or paging equipment to make an announcement. You can access individual paging zones or all paging zones simultaneously. A one-way connection is established for "All Zones" paging. A two-way connection is established for "Individual Zones" loudspeaker page.
Before you are connected to the paging equipment, you will hear a two-second tone.
Paging applies to E&M paging systems.
You will be disconnected from the pager if you perform a switchhook flash.
You cannot Transfer, Forward, Camp-on, or set a Callback to the paging system.
Different individual paging zones can be accessed simultaneously; however, you will receive a busy tone when you attempt to:
page a zone already in use
page while an all-zone page is underway
make an all-zone page when an individual-zone page is underway.
You can interrupt a page if Loudspeaker Pager Override is enabled in your station's COS, but you cannot interrupt an all-zone page with an individual-zone page.
You cannot be interrupted by another page if Loudspeaker Pager Equivalent Zone Override Security is enabled in your station's COS unless an all-zone page attempts to interrupt your individual-zone page.
You cannot use Paging when you are using Handsfree Operation.
The system supports up to 15 zones (plus a sixteenth zone number for accessing all the zones simultaneously). Zones may be designated 00 to 15.
The phone's SPEAKER key will not have any effect when you are paging.
On attendant consoles, the pager cannot be accessed if current call information is displayed in the SOURCE or DESTINATION (DST) area.
Loudspeaker Paging is provided through the Paging port on the Universal ASU, Analog Main Board, or Analog Options Board. This Loudspeaker Paging port emulates E&M paging. A Loudspeaker Pager (amplifier) connects to this port.
IP paging can also be provided through the Mitel IP Paging Unit. A Loudspeaker Pager (amplifier) connects to the Mitel IP Paging unit. The IP Paging unit connects to the network and is assigned a directory number (see the 3300 ICP Technician's Handbook for more information about IP Paging Units).
For E&M type paging, program the Zone Number and Interconnect Number in the Loudspeaker Paging form. In multiple-zone systems, all-zone paging must be designated 00 whether all-zone paging is enabled or not.
Ensure that the station is not restricted from Paging in the Interconnect Restriction Table.
Enable Pager Access All Zones and/or Pager Access Individual Zones in the Class of Service Options form.
If you intend to use a feature access code in Operation, assign a code to Loudspeaker Paging in the Feature Access Codes form.
If you intend to use a feature key in Operation, program a Paging key in the Multiline Set Keys form or use Superkey (see Feature Keys for more information on Superkey programming).
See the Feature-Phone Matrix (PDF or Microsoft Excel version) for a list of phones that can use this feature.
