using barge-in as a paging system
Posted: 27 Dec 2012 10:54
I've been working at this system now for around 5 months. No, I'm not certified, but I'm going to go to training. The problem is that I need the information now.
So here's the set up. There are two buildings in my organization. In one I have a chassis with an SLI8 analog board and with the help of some of the av crew here I've been able to program one of the ports to hook up to an overhead paging system through a relay and an amp. This is working fine. Dial the extension and the paging system kicks in. In my other building a have a 1U chassis with a GD-3, a LANX16 and an APA4. I know I can't use the APA to do the same thing in the second building, but since I've been reading the docs it looks like I can use Barge-in as a kind of paging system. My questions are:
1. Can I Barge-in on all of the lines at the same time or is it a one line deal?
2 Is there anywhere I can find a straight forward, step-by-step how to? I've already looked at the phone COS and it looks like Barge-in is enabled for the entity that the organization uses by default. Then I looked at translators>suffixes and it seems like I should be able to either co-opt one or create one.
The other alternative is to buy an SLI8 board for the other chassis which isn't cheap and which I'd like to avoid if at all possible.
