Paging Group Configuration
The IP paging group is a group of IP phones that can receive station paging. This feature also can be used as
IP zone paging by creating multiple paging groups.
Note: Polycom paging groups are supported by the MAXCS Private Cloud service; AltiGen paging groups
are not supported by the Private Cloud service.
Paging is limited to the local LAN.
AltiGen IP phone Implementation details:
• Polycom paging groups are now supported. Polycom phones can page to AltiGen paging group but cannot
receive pages from AltiGen paging groups. They can only receive pages from assigned Polycom paging
groups. See Polycom Paging Groups on page 245.
• AltiGen IP phone group paging uses SIP Tie-Trunk channels in MaxCS 7.5. Make sure that you have a
sufficient number of SIP tie-trunk channels configured for group paging.
• Each paging session requires one G.711 codec channel. The voice stream is multicast to multiple IP
phones on the LAN.
• Any extension (analog or IP) can initiate a paging call by dialing #46 + the Paging Group number.
• When paged, an IP phone in idle state will automatically turn on the speaker, play a beep, and then play
the page.
• When receiving an incoming call during a paging session, the IP phone will automatically stop the paging
session and start ringing.
• The IP phone user can terminate a paging session by pressing the Release key on the phone.
• IP phones in DND mode will not be paged.
Some considerations:
• If an AltiGen IP phone in a different network segment needs to be in a paging group, you need to configure
intermediate routers to pass through the IP multicast packets.
• IP paging to remote IP phones over WAN is not supported.
Note: You can now set up Polycom paging groups; refer to the instructions in the MAXCS 7.5 Polycom
Configuration Guide.
