Loudspeaker paging
Issue 5 October 2002 1755555-233-506
Users with single-line phones
This description only applies to systems with deluxe paging. To page and park an
active call simultaneously, users with a single-line phone press Recall or flash the
switch hook, dial the trunk access code + an extension where the call will be
parked, and press Recall again. The paging user is conferenced with the parked
caller and both are connected in a 3-way conference with the paged user when he
or she responds. In other words, Meet-Me conferencing is standard operation for
users with single-line phones. The paged party dials the answer back feature
access code + the extension number and is connected directly to the parked call.
If the paging user does not press Recall until the loudspeaker paging time-out
interval expires, they hear confirmation tone and the active call is automatically
parked on their extension. When the paged party answers the call, they are
connected to the paging party who can then transfer the call to the calling party.
How users place chime pages
Users page by dialing the trunk access code for a zone followed by the extension
of the person they want to page. The system matches the extension dialed to its
assigned code and plays the code over the loudspeakers. If users have an active
call when they start to page, the call is automatically parked on the extension
dialed in the page. Paged parties may retrieve the parked call normally.
Auxiliary paging systems
Avaya MultiVantage requires a separate port for each paging zone and supports a
maximum of 9 zones. If you have more than 9 zones or don’t want to allot that
many ports for paging, Avaya can provide auxiliary paging systems. These
systems can support many zones from 1 port. They can also provide additional
capabilities such as two-way communication through the loudspeaker system (the
person paged can speak directly to the pager over the loudspeaker).
For more information, contact your Avaya representative.
