Paging Third Party SIP Phones connected to CUCM

[siddharthgujral]

Current SetUp: CUCM - Cisco 3925, Two MCS 7816 (Call Control Server) and One MCS 7825 (Voice mail server)

We have third party SIP phones configured in auto answer mode. These phones are used to make live announcements.

To Do:

There are approximately 80 phones in the system and the requirement is to select any combination of these phones to make Public announcement (or Paging).

Is there an application that enables us to select any combination of phones on the fly to do paging? How can we select a mp3 file to play on a phone in an auto answer mode?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Sid

There's nothing built into call manager to do this.  You could investigate using the Cisco Unified Application Environment (CUAE) and write a script to do this, or there are some 3rd party applications that might work for you such as Berbee's Informacast.
