Intercom & Paging
MyPBX supports intercom and paging features to make an announcement to a single
extension or a group. This chapter introduces the configuration of intercom and
paging.
Intercom
Intercom is a feature that allows you to make an announcement to one extension via
a phone speaker. The called party does not need to pick up the handset. It can be
achieved by pressing the feature code on your phone and it is a two-way audio call.
The default Intercom feature code is *5. To make an announcement to a specific
extension, you need to dial *5+ extension number on your phone. For example, make
an announcement to extension 500, you need to dial *5500, then the extension 500
will be automatically picked up.
Paging Group
Paging group is used to make an announcement over the speakerphone to a phone
or group of phones. Targeted phones will not ring, but instead answer immediately
into speakerphone mode. Paging is typically one way for announcements only, but
you can set the paging group as a duplex mode to allow all users in the group to talk
and be heard by all.
Paging group is supported by the following SIP phones:
Yealink T28, T26, T22, T20, T10T, T9CM. Other SIP devices may also work with this
feature but are not officially supported.
Note
: a paging group can have a maximum of 20 members.
