Access paging through Auto Attendant??

[thephonelady]

My customer wants to access their paging system using the AA at night. I'm not sure if this can be done. I don't have the system available to me to try setting it up, but I did create an offline config and was not able to program a selector code to access 70. Any ideas?? System is in Basic/Partner mode, sold and installed by their former vendor.
Thanks in advance.

Think you'll need to have a singe line extension ring into a "Centrex" paging adapter, which will answer the ring and connect the audio to the input of the paging amplifier. The caller would dial the extension number or a selector code that points to the extension number, wait for the paging adapter to answer, then make their loudspeaker page

A Bogen TAMB2 connected to an analog station should do the trick. We use them for internal paging but I can't see why it wouldn't work. AA transfers to the assigned extension, it rings, TAMB2 picks up, gives a tone and start talking. It is single zone, doesn't require any DTMF input.

Ip500 basic auto system answer?
I am replacing all of my partner systems with the IP500 basic, one customer has a ASA card installed, she uses this when there are too many calls to get to.
Is there a way or work around to emulate this feature on the IP500 ?
