[asterisk-users] Paging in Asterisk

[Joseph Begumisa]

I had the same problem with 45 polycom 601 phones in the same page group.
It was just like you describe it and I got the same answer from polycom.
What I did to go around that was add a second line key with a different
extension number on each phone and then create the page group with the
second extensions as members instead of the first extension. 

 

For example if one phone was extension 154, I added a second line key
assigned extension 8154 to that phone only for the purpose of receiving
pages and then added 8154 to the page group instead of 154.  This way
presence can still be enabled for 154 while 8154 which is not watched (and
therefore will not send out those presence notifications which cause the
phone to reboot) can be used to receive the pages.

i'm using Polycom 601 in an office of 30 handsets.
I have not heard my customer complaining about phones being rebooted after
page.

Do you have any problem with the Paging when there are say 20 phones
in the page group?  We have a IP601 that is used by the receptionist 
and has 2 side cars.  We have to keep presence (Buddy List) enabled so
the sidecar lights go on and off.  However, about 1 out of 10 times
the receptionist pages, her phone reboots.  Polycom says it can't
handle the traffic from the buddy list presence notifications.

Have you seen this?

Bill
