Remote Access to Loudspeaker Paging

[adminman3]

Has anyone successfully called in to the PBX and activated the paging system to make a loudspeaker page from an off-site location other than an EPN?

Sure, all the time. Fun to scare folks if there not expecting it. You must turn on Remote Access (Not recommened) and simply dial the group page extension number assuming all your permissions are set correctly.

I'll give it a whirl this morning. Thank you!

Mike, are you referring to Group Page where an extension is assigned to a group of extensions that are paged simultaneously through their speakers, or OVERHEAD PAGING which is done with:
