Paging in CME

[VON CLAWSON]

Is there any way to limit the time a call to a paging dn will remain connected? I have problems will users not hanging up or accidentally putting on hold. I need to be able to disconnect calls to the paging dn after a minute or so.

A timer can be configured on the voiceport:

voice-port 0/0/0

supervisory disconnect dualtone mid-call

timeouts call-disconnect 5

timeouts wait-release 5

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this will not help because it is straight voip. There is no voice-port involved.

How is the paging system connected to your call manager express? When you indecate straight voip is it that the paging system has a network connection that you use to access? "network would replace the e&m or fxo wic card" Im curious because I have to set up pageing for our stores and I havnt found a solution that allows me to have a pure network connection to an overhead paging amp. Any info is greatly appreciated.

We are using the paging feature of CME. Which means we have a full CUCM that connects H.323 to the CME. Then, when phones on the CUCM dial a RP that points to the CME we have phones setup that auto answer with the paging feature. Here is the config:
