Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and Group
Paging
The Group Paging feature enables you to make pagesone-way audio announcementsto users
subscribed to a page group. The Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature is a collaborative tool that enables you to
exchange broadcasts to users subscribed to a PTT channel, much like a walkie-talkie. Your system
administrator can set up both features on your phone.
Your system administrator can define up to 25 paging groups for Group Paging mode or Channels for
PTT mode. Your system administrator may assign a label to each group or channel that easily identifies
the phones in the group or channel, such as All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives. Each group or
channel will have one of the following priorities:
Normal By default, broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1 to 23 are considered Normal broadcasts. If
two users begin a broadcast on the same group/channel at the same time, the phone with the lower
serial number will continue to transmit while the other phone will enter the receiving state. By default,
all phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 1.
Priority By default, broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 24 are considered Priority broadcasts. A Priority
broadcast will interrupt Normal broadcasts or active calls. All phones receive Priority broadcasts unless
Do Not Disturb is enabled. Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone’s current audio level.
Emergency By default, broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 25 are considered Emergency broadcasts. An
Emergency broadcast will interrupt Normal broadcasts, Priority broadcasts, and active calls and plays
out at near maximum volume even if Do Not Disturb is turned on.
