Group Page
DESCRIPTION
The system administrator can set up Group Page groups so anyone in the
system can use the Group Page feature to page up to 20 people at a time
directly through the voice terminal speakers.
CONSIDERATIONS
You can have up to three paging groups. The Page-All group consists of all
voice terminals in the system; groups 1 and 2 can have up to 20 voice
terminals in each group.
If the system administrator is using a 10-button voice terminal to administer
the system, he or she cannot change the factory-set Group Page group
assignments for the system.
If necessary, one voice terminal can be assigned to more than one paging
group.
You can program buttons for the groups you want to page. Or, you can save
available feature buttons for other uses and use a dial code to use this feature.
If someone in the Group Page group pick up the handset during a Group
Page announcement, he or she is connected to the person making the
announcement, and the page announcement is terminated.
When someone in the MERLIN Plus system has activated the Voice
Announcement Disable feature for his or her voice terminal, he or she cannot
hear a Group Page announcement.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
When the system is first set up, the system has the following Group Page
groups:
Group 1
= Voice Terminals 10 through 19
Group 2
= Voice Terminals 20 through 29
Page-All
= Voice Terminals 10 through 29
If these group assignments are not satisfactory for the system, the administrator
can add or delete voice terminals from the individual groups.
The Page-All group, the paging group containing all the voice terminals in the
system, cannot be administered.
Before you begin to administer Group Page groups, refer to "Paging Groups"
on your "System Configuration Form."
To add or remove a voice terminal from a paging group:
1
Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P and touching
Administer.
2 Dial *71 for group 1 or *72 for group 2.
A green light goes on next to the Auto Intercom button of any voice terminal already assigned to
that paging group.
