Paging
Description
Allows an extension user to make a voice announcement to many people at the same time.
Your message is announced over the built-in speakers of Proprietary Telephones (PTs) or
external speakers (External Pagers) or both.
The paged person can answer your page from a nearby telephone (Paging Answer).
Making and answering a page is possible from either a PT or SLT. You can do paging with a
call on hold in order to transfer the call (Paging and Transfer).

his own PT (Paging Deny).
