<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; color: #000080; font-size: 10pt;">One suggestion – set up 4 “call groups”. Group 1 calls first 50 phones, Group 2 51-100, etc. If you set it up like 601, 602, etc. then in your call file you can test with 101 to get what you want, then change it to 601.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #000000;">We have a page group offering in our systems. We do not use call files to handle this we do it as direct processing. If I were to use a call file. I would create a custom context to use from the call file. The first thing I would do is build a string list of the phones being paged. The second is I would add the auto answer headers for the different types of phones that are in my network. This process is really quite straight forward. The flow would be somthing like this..<br />
<br />
Call Page Record.<br />
Call in.<br />
Record Message.<br />
Select page groups to send the message to.<br />
Write a call file with the message name, page groups and the page handling context.<br />
<br />
Call file would contain.<br />
Custom page handling/processing context.<br />
List of page groups and message file name stored in vars.<br />
<br />
In your <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Custom page handling/processing context.</span><br />
Read and parse the page groups list from a variable set in the .call file<br />
Read the recorded message from the .call file<br />
Loop for each page group.<br />
Build your paging group in a string (This should be able to be done using some kind of list. Either stright. csv or database you choose)<br />
Set the correct page headers<br />
Call the page command with the correct list. <br />
Play the recorded message<br />
Hangup<br />
Loop back and do next group.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is really just a coding project. You have to break the entire issue down into it's base parts and then solve each one. <br />
<br />
Good luck.</span> </p>
