Yes I checked the spec (RFC5373) and it states

   This document deals only with "Answering Mode".  Issues relating to
   "Alerting Mode" are outside its scope.

so I agree that paging can answer the phone without any ringing. Some
phones 
support an non-standard parameter answer-after so you could try amending

your asterisk dialplan to send

   Answer-Mode: Auto; answer-after=1

but I am not optimistic that your phones will accept this

What happens if you add Playback(beep) after the Page() command in the
dialplan?
