Using an Analog port for Paging Port:
In Manager, click on the Extension icon to display the list of extensions.
Double-click on the Extension that will be used for the paging port.
In the Extn tab, set the Equipment Classification to Paging Speaker.
Set Caller Display type to Off. Click OK. Extension icon should change.
Click on User Icon to display list of Users. I use extension 202. In the user tab, set the Name to
Paging or similar to indicate the function. In the voicemail tab, untick Voicemail On.
Page port must have an off-hook condition, otherwise you will get a busy when calling page Extension. (You may have to use a 500 ohm to a 20k Ohm resistor across the page port.) (3 to 5 watt). I usually buy a cheap phone and go off hook and leave off hook across the page port.
Reboot system to receive off-hook condition
The Universal Paging Access Module (UPAM) is recommended to use as a paging Amplifier.
Analog Port Spec: Off-Hook current = 25ma Ring Voltage = 40v rms
REN = 2
System Short Code: *78 202 DialPaging 0
Dial *78 and you will hear your voice on station 202. (External Page)
For all paging over Internal Group page and external paging speakers, add extension 202 to the paging group 400 for example. Then when you dial the short code to 400 ( for example) The persons who is paging will be heard over phones and the over head paging system.
400 295 DialPaging 0 (Internal page group)
"The lack of understanding is the root of all problems
Thank you for that. I am did the first parts and the icon never changed. I also am getting the busy signal. I was wondering if you could explain in further detail how to make the pageing port and off-hook condition.
Program the user part then program the extension part. Program short-code *78. Save and reboot ip office. Then go and buy a $10.00 single line phone from wal-mart. connect phone to the page port (202). Go of-hook with the phone and leave off-hook.
Reboot ip office. Dial *78, you should hear yourself on the page port. You may have to reboot a couple of times if you can't hear yourself.

a few links to paging posts. from a pots ext., you do not need a upam from my experience, or an analog phone. simply connect a wmt-1a matchng transformer to the pots ext, with the rca out of the wmta connected to the paging input. details in some of these posts.
