# Paging - Loudspeaker

## Description

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.

Loudspeaker Paging is provided through the Paging port on the Universal ASU, Analog Main Board, or Analog Options Board. A Loudspeaker Pager (amplifier) connects to this port which emulates E&M paging.

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 MiVoice Business Technician's Handbook for more information about IP Paging Units).

## Conditions and Feature Interactions

- 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 using the Override feature key (or equivalent softkey or feature access code) 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 in Handsfree mode.

- 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.

## Programming

1. Loudspeaker Paging form

- For E&M type paging, program the 2-digit Zone Number and Interconnect Number. In multiple-zone systems, all-zone paging must be designated 00 whether all-zone paging is enabled or not.

  NOTE: The form accepts two-digit numbers for zones 0 through 9 but displays them as single digits when saved—for example, 00 displays as 0 and 02 as 2. Users dialing the zone number must dial the two-digit number. If they dial only one digit, the system will wait for the inter-digit timer in the user's Class of Service to expire before calling the zone.

2. Interconnect Restriction form

- Ensure that the station is not restricted from Paging.

3. Class of Service Options form

- Enable Pager Access All Zones and/or Pager Access Individual Zones.

4. Feature Access Codes form

- If you intend to use a feature access code in Operation, assign a code to Loudspeaker Paging.

5. Multiline Set Keys form

- If you intend to use a feature key in Operation, program a Paging key or use Superkey (see Feature Keys for more information on Superkey programming).

- Supported on all devices.
