The User- C o n t rolled Paging Option enables users to select their default paging method
using the telephone keypad. By dialing in to the unit, the user can change his paging
method to one of the methods specified in the associated user re c o rd, including overh e a d
paging, local wireless paging, wide area paging or no paging. Depending on the user

i n f o rmation specified on the PCI database, not all paging options may be available to all
users (see section 3.4.1, Entering User Data). The system prompts users with only those
options that are applicable, including the Disable Paging option.

The Disable Paging option enables users to disable all available paging methods. Callers
t rying to reach an individual with paging disabled receive the message; “Your (or actual
user name) party can not be paged at this time.” The disable paging option is a selectable
field on the User Records screen (Figure 3-11). The system default is set to prevent users
f rom disabling paging options.

To change the default paging method using the telephone keypad, follow the steps below.
