Group paging 

Each paging group is assigned a class of restriction, so you can provide or deny 
access to different classes of users by setting calling permissions appropriately. 
Note that you can administer classes of restriction so remote callers can make 
speakerphone pages. If you don’t want to allow remote users to page, you may 
want to set calling permissions (on the Class of Restriction screen) for VDNs and 
trunk groups so that neither can initiate pages.

■

Attendant Intrusion

Attendants cannot intrude on group pages. If the attendant tries to intrude 
on the paging originator, the intrusion attempt succeeds. However, all 
group page members are able to hear both the paging originator and the 
attendant.

■

Auto Exclusion and Manual Exclusion

Bridged appearances are not allowed on the page. Therefore, the Auto 
Exclusion and Manual Exclusion features are disabled. Auto Exclusion is 
not activated because there are no bridged appearances to alert when the 
page terminates. 

■

Auto Hold

Auto Hold does not put a group page on hold.The page is dropped and the 
incoming call is answered.

■

Automatic Callback

Automatic Callback is disabled when calling an active page group. 

■

Bridging

Bridging is disabled on this feature. A bridged appearance of a group 
member does not receive any indication of a call when the page arrives. 
The bridged appearance cannot bridge onto the page. 

■

Call Coverage

Pages do not follow group members’ coverage paths. A page group cannot 
be a coverage point.

■

Call Park

Group members who receive a page cannot park the call.

■

Call Pickup/Direct Call Pickup

Other extensions cannot pick up a group page.
