2000IVS. An extension that cannot page
2000IVS. An extension that cannot page
(OP)
I have one station on a 2000IVS that cannot page. He is using the correct access code for paging and other stations have no trouble paging using the same access code (88).
When the user tries to page, he gets the long tone, but it never goes away. This extension has the same trunk restriction class as other extensions where paging works correctly.
Is there some other place where trunk selection would be restricted by extension? I have already deleted and rebuilt the extension, but the trouble persists.

There is a paging speaker directly above the user's desk, and I am wondering if this would somehow kill the sigal. When I was testing, I could barely hear the page, so it would seem that the user is hitting the page port. There were no volume problems during normal phone calls, and I swapped out the phone just in case, but I am still having the same trouble and symptoms.

Is the access code for External Paging through a COT port?In Command 20, what does 88 equal to?
RE: 2000IVS. An extension that cannot page
Paging access is through a COT port, and the access code works from all other extensions on the system.
I am going to move an extension (from which paging works at the moment) to this cable pair and see if the trouble follows.

....I know it is a timer in CMD 41 that causes this problem from analog phones. I think it is CMD 410>03. Try changing it to "00".

Set command 3546>XX>0
XX represents the trunk route, which ever one your using for your paging route. This will make the Senders drop sooner and will speed up the voice cut-through.
RE: 2000IVS. An extension that cannot page
I would also try to connect a test handset ( analogue ) straight across the CO port on the tails/test frame, isolate the external paging equipment and then page from various handsets on the system, including the problem extension. You should hear the page clearly. This will help isolate the problem.
You should also try to connect a test handset ( analogue or digital ) straight accross the cable pair of the problem extension on the tails/test frame, ( remove the jumper wire first ) and try to page from the there.
Also have you reset the switch to re-allocate the time slots? I know this shouldn't make difference, but I had similar problems on an IPS retrofit where if you added new cards, extensions or reprogrammed existing numbers to different LENS, there was no speech path. The handset would ring, the time and date was correct on the display but there was no speech connection. The CPU would not allocate a time slot to those new LENS and it proved to be a CPU generic SW fault.
Hope all this makes sense, good luck.
