Group Page

Description

Group Page allows you to make an announcement to a group of people through the speaker of their telephones. A tone is heard at both the paging telephone and the paged telephone before the Group Page is established. During a Group Page, the paging set displays the number of the group being paged; the paged sets do not display any paging information.

See also Networked Group Page.

Conditions and Feature Interactions

For example, on an MXe III controller, you can program 16 page groups, and each of which can have a maximum of 32 IP Phones and 218 TDM Phones for a total of 250 members.

NOTE: The number of IP Phones in a page group is limited to 50% of the available E2T or media server channels. On most systems, the actual limit will be less than the physically provisioned limit of E2T channels. Paging groups should be configured with this in mind. In addition, if the connection is across a WAN link, the number of IP Phone members may be limited by bandwidth availability.
