"the page port off the MICS has no audio coming out on it"
Then the page port is blown.
To be sure, did you connect a working butt set to the page port and have somebody page through it or enter digits to get the tones?
Is the Amp cable 100% snug in?
Did you try another 25pr Amp cable?



"Do we need some external device ??"
Depends...
A small site you could loop a couple of self amplified horns.
Any bigger you use an amplifier with amplified horns and speakers.

"Can we set up paging on a line port ???"
Yes you can use a trunk port if you have a spare.
It is limited because you cannot page through phones at the same time or use different zones.
You can however add ceiling speakers in the hallways etc and/or add a zone controller module.

Check to see what type of horn, ie 70 volts and 1 pair or 2 required.
I prefer Bogen myself, one pair for power and audio, no need for a bloody shelf for the amp.

i WILL RUN THE LINE PORT TO A BOGAN WMTI-MATCHING TRANSFORMER TO GET IT TO 600ohm-then loop to 4 amplified horns -see what happens...

line ports need voltage to modulate the voice for audio.
WMT1A will most likely not work but you can try to take a 24V DC power supply and loop that into series with the speakers and that should work.

Ask if they need music or aux ringer, Bogen TPU15a or alike.
