How do I program Group Paging ( * 7)?

Only Available on Basic Partner R4.1

Basic Partner R4.1 Installation and Use Manual Pg. 5 16, 17

Description

This option is available only on PARTNER-model phones.

This telephone option lets users simultaneously page all system extensions with PARTNER-model phones. When paging, the caller hears a beep and begins speaking; the callers voice is then heard on the speakers of all idle PARTNER-model phones.

Related Features

You can use this option manually, or you can store it on an Auto Dial button (see Auto Dialing).

Considerations

MDC 9000, MDW 9000, and standard phones will not receive group-page announcements.

If a user leaves the microphone on for hands-free answer on intercom (HFAI), the microphone is turned off when that phone receives a group page; the user must lift the handset or press [ Mic/HFAI ] to answer the page.

After a group page, the microphone is turned on again.

Programming

To store (or remove) the group page option remotely from extension 10:

  1. Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ].
  2. Press left [ Intercom ] twice.
  3. Press right [ Intercom ].
  4. Dial the two-digit number of the extension (1121) for which you want the option stored (or removed).
  5. Press the Auto Dial button on which you want the option stored (or removed).
  6. To store the option, press [ Intercom ] [ * ] [ 7 ].

    To remove the option, press [ Mic/HFAI ].

  7. Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ].

Using
