Polycom phones and Snom phones supoprt paging. As far as your Overhead paging all you need is an FXO port on your system. The * system will work perfectly with this. Even allowing the zones to be set from the dialplan so your users won't need to learn any new 'paging codes'
Email me off -list of you need some help. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacob Cazzell Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 5:21 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Paging and intercom Hello all, We are considering implementing a new system based on Asterisk on the back end. I am very intrigued by the IP phones, but I have two questions regarding paging and intercom functions. I know that * supports these functions, but I'm not sure I fully understand how. On our existing phone system, if you dial an extention the other end will beep and then setup an intercom channel that's hands free for the called station. I'm not sure how this would be duplicated in *, or is it more of a function of the phone we use? We also have an overhead paging system, our current system is tied into a Valcom 3-zone paging system. Would * support this paging system? How do you get a connection to it, an analog port? These are probably my two biggest hurdles to overcome and I need some pointers on how to implement or where to research my options. Thanks!
