Paging
Paging[1] is also called Auto Answer. Brekeke PBX can invoke a SIP phone’s paging function. The phones will answer incoming calls automatically without taking the handset off-hook when they receive the paging information sent in the SIP header from Brekeke PBX.
Use one of the following options to make a call with paging:
- Dial 22*<user’s extension>.
- To page a specific user’s extension automatically, enter <user’s extension>{p} or <user’s extension>{page} on that extension’s [Inbound] page.
For other parameters used with paging, refer to the “Parameters and Syntax“ section.
1. Automatic Paging
- Set user extension B’s [Other Forwarding destinations*] as B{p} or B{page}.
- A calls B.
- The phone(s) assigned to this user that support paging will be connected without ringing.
