Autodial Page?

[hototot]

I have a BCM450, they dial "8" to access the valcom unit, then "1" or "2" for the zone they want. When the pickup their handset and dial 8 and the zone it works fine. They want an "autodial" for this. I cannot get the BCM to do this? Can it be done?

Strange; a BCM 450 doesn't give you the value option when assigning an external autodial to a key.

So I tried another BCM 450 when I assign an external autodial key it lets you set the value: pool, prime or routing and then the digits.

We use this feature elsewhere to bypass restrictions on sets so I'm going to have to do some homework.

BCM 450R1 SU1 through SU7 allows you to assign the value. (Checked several)
BCM 450R1 SU12 doesn't. (Checked two sites) let you assign in the table comes up as N/A.

I don't know if it works on BCM 450R1 SU13 but it works again on BCM 450R6.

What is your SU level?

(I'm assuming your using the Dial 8 routing to access a pool rather than the paging port via Feature 60 on the BCM.)

Your assumptions are correct, KE. I got subbed out for this job, so I didn't do the upgrade, not sure. I will have to find out.

Is there anyway you can assign the page trunk to a DID?

I have SIP trunking on my BCM50 and I access the Gordon Kapes MZ4 4 zone paging trunk by dialing a DID via a SIP trunk 10 digit number.

First, I set up the Line Redirection feature on Element manager to direct this DID to dial 8, which is the Line Pool Code for the Paging system then 1 for page zone 1. So on any phone I can still dial 81 for paging, but by using the DID I can now assign this directly to an Autodial on the phones.

I set it up as the autodial button programmed as: 312*****52# (I dont want you guys hacking into my paging system, lol) so I basically programmed an external autodial (with the # symbol to send the call immediately because I am using SIP trunks).

Which type of trunks are you using? Analog, Digital or SIP?

One disadvantage though, if someone from the outside gets this number, you will need to put some restrictions in.

I've never used Digital trunks, but I assume you can set up the same as SIP.

Remote access package assigned to DID PRI and defined in Remote Access Package will allow incoming digits defined in Public/Private Network Dial Plan to access system paging port or line pool, either automatically or with DISA.
