Intercom on Option 11

[Howi]

I have replaced a Norstar modular system with a Option 11 linked back to an option 61C. The question I have is - The Norstar had a feature that allowed 1 extension to call all other extensions and switch them to handsfree, so that a message could be broadcast to all extensions, rather like an intercom.
Is there a similar feature on the option 11? - I have found DIG but that only allows a 1 to 1 intercomm call, not to all extensions in the group.

pbx does not offer all page are zone page, has to do with the max size and power requirements.. no real work around. voice dig does one station to station. group call will call a group of phones (dns not digs").. group call does not work that well, all station need to answer. best bet is overhead paging via external speakers.. in our switchroom (1000 square ft) we use a 16 with autoanswer. for small areas of users that is one possible

With IP Phones, you can use the Voice Office application (

to do zone paging throught the speakers of the IP Phones.
