[asterisk-users] Paging for analoge devices

[bilal ghayyad]

Hi Steve;

If we give a look for the link
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+page
there are some topics not cleared to complete the
paging senario:

1) Why to use Set(_ALERT_INFO="RA")? And how can I
know what each device take? 

2) Does the following work for Polycom:

SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:<sip:domain>\;answer-after=0)


3) Can I do paging without use Page and only by using
Dial (but I will set the previous paramters as
needed)?

4) Any configuration need to be done on the Meet Me
conference to have the Paging working fine?

Regards
Bilal
