IP Series Special feature: Cascade paging mailboxes
F.1
Cascade paging mailboxes
Important: You are being assigned a special feature not covered in the regular station user
guide or tutorial. Be sure to get your cascade paging mailbox number from the
system administrator.
A cascade paging mailbox pages up to three designated numbers (of up to 24 digits each) in a
sequence called a cascade.
If a cascade paging mailbox receives a new message, the IP Series system will page the first
number for a set number of times. If it receives no response, the IP Series system then pages a
second number for a set number of times. If, again, there is no response, the IP Series system
pages the third paging number; and the system will then page all three pagers, in sequence, until
someone does finally retrieve the message. This is useful for a variety of individuals who must be
โon-callโ after hours, such as doctors, plumbers, technical support representatives, wrecker drivers
and volunteer fire fighters.
Programming your cascade paging mailbox
Press PROG/HELP, * , and the cascade paging mailbox number. You will be prompted for recording
mailbox greetings; password administration, programming the pager numbers and intervals; and
accessing previously deleted messages.
To set the pager numbers, you will be prompted to enter each paging number and the number of
times that it is to be paged before the next paging number is also paged.
Note: Enter only the paging number; do not include the line access code (9, 8 or 71โ76). To insert
a two-second pause, press CONF.
Note: For those situations where more than one cascade paging mailbox is in operation, the IP
Series system automatically sends the mailbox number to the display of a digital pager, to
indicate which mailbox has new messages.
