Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and
Group Paging
The Group Paging feature enables you to make pages—one-way audio announcements—to 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 can 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 has 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 continues to transmit while the other phone enters 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 interrupts 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 interrupts Normal broadcasts, Priority broadcasts, and active
calls and plays out at near maximum volume even if Do Not Disturb is turned on.
Push-to-Talk Mode
Your system administrator can enable your phone to operate in a broadcast mode called Push-to-Talk
(PTT). In order to send and receive PTT broadcasts, you have to subscribe to PTT channels.
PTT broadcasts are collaborative: you can transmit messages and listen to replies.
