Paging and Intercom Information
Paging lets you, with phones that support it, do a 'Page' - you dial a number, and all the phones in the group pick up
automatically, go into hands free, and play through their speaker what the caller is saying. This is very useful in
a small office environment ("Pizza is at reception!"). Ti add a paging group, simply put in the Paging group
number - this is the number that people will dial to page the group, and the list of devices, one per line, that are tobe
paged.
Note that Intercom is not currently supported
