Paging from S8700

[leeniep]

Hi, my company has an S8700 switch and has the paging setup using a paging trunk, each area has it own trunk access code. We would like to change this to have zone paging and an all call. We currently have to page through each paging trunk for each area seperately when we do an all call. Is there a way to set up paging with "ALL CALL" and "Zone" paging. We are open to an external controller of some sort if necessary. Does anyone have any suggestions?

the loudspeaker paging form on the definity accomodates an all-page. the very bottom row.

otherwise, avaya/bogen makes a pretty good zone controller. valcom makes a cheaper version of their own, but popular.

you might be able to rewire those zone amps and make a 'all zone' out of it....
