Broadcasting Messages with Group Paging
Group paging lets you send pages—one-way audio announcements—to contacts subscribed to a page group.
Your administrator can enable a broadcast mode called group paging mode. In this mode, you can broadcast one-way
announcements to a specified group of phones, called a
paging group
.
Your system administrator can define up to 25 paging groups and assign a label to each group to identify the phones in the
group, such as All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives.
Each group has one of the following priorities:
• Normal: By default, broadcasts sent to groups 1 to 23 are considered normal broadcasts. By default, all phones are
configured to receive broadcasts sent to group 1.
• Priority: By default, broadcasts sent to group 24 are considered priority broadcasts. A priority broadcast interrupts
Normal broadcasts or active calls. All phones receive priority broadcasts unless you enable Do Not Disturb.
