Supervisors and administrators can broadcast audio messages to digital and IP phones with loudspeakers without having to install a separate paging system. Paging can be to individual phones or groups of phones.
Implementation engineers can configure analog extension ports to an external overhead paging system, usually through an adapter, so that a port can be included in a paging group to permit mixed phone and overhead paging.
Some digital and IP phones can answer a page by pressing a key while the page is going on, this terminates the page and turns it into a normal call.
