8 2.3.4 Connect to a Paging Device You can broadcast test messages via two different paging devices: • A paging amplifier, which you use for normal paging operations, broadcasts the test message to the speakers in a specified paging zone. To do so, you need to first see Section 2.3.4.1, "Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Paging Amplifier". • Via a Plain Old Telephone (POT), which broadcasts the test message to you over the phone. See Section 2.3.4.2, "Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Telephone". 2.
9 2.3.5 Broadcast a test message to all paging zones The Test/Reset switch is located on the back of the VoIP Paging Gateway (see Figure 2-6). The Test/ Reset switch enables testing to all paging zones and lets you restore the VoIP Paging Gateway to its factory default settings. Figure 2-6. Test/Reset Switch Test/Reset switch Once the VoIP Paging Gateway is running and connected to a paging device, use the Test/Reset switch to broadcast a test message to all of the zones in the paging system.
10 2.3.6 Restore the Factory Default Settings as Required The VoIP Paging Gateway is delivered with factory set default values for the following parameters. Use the Test/Reset switch on the back of the unit to restore these parameters to the factory default settings.
