Paging

Definition

Paging is used to send one-way messages to persons with either a pager or with a personal code over an acoustical/optical system. It enables persons to be paged from an extension, an operator or external line.

Settings

Directory numbers and codes for paging are set by the administrator.

Procedure and function

The person or group of persons are paged by using the directory numbers. The directory number can be an ordinary extension number, a specific paging number or a common directory number for a group of persons who are to be paged simultaneously. Directory numbers can also be linked to an arbitrary paging code (for example, radio receiver number).

Paging can be initiated through a specific procedure or automatically during call transfer.
