Paging through speaker on 7940 to more than 1 person

[trailman73]

I am trying to set up paging in our phone system utilizing the speakerphone built ino the 7940. I will need to page about 90 phones. Has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks,

Geoff

Yes, there are 3 ways to page over the speaker phones

1 - Use ITS ( IOS Telephony Service ) and set up paging groups

2 - 3rd party app Informacast 1.1 uses multicast to page defined groups

3 - IP Zone Page 3rd party app to unicast page to defined phone groups

What is IP Zone Page & who makes it?

Has anyone had any experience with Berbee's Auto Answer product? I hear that the one-to-many paging works and now hangs up the phones once the page originator hangs up. Curious to know if anyone is using the product...

Informacast looks like a very cool product, from what I have heard and read.

I have been working with a client that is piloting this product. It was easy to install and is very flexible. They like the idea that it is multicast, you can send a audio message while a user is on the phone and the person they are speaking to won't hear them. This is key in an emergency situation.

The vendor has been very responsive to our needs. I think it is a very good product.

Thanks, I am going to use the Berbee Informacast.
