Basic Edition and Overhead Paging (Part Duh)

[ThePhoneMn]

I have a customer coming from a Spirit system with a Page port, to an IP Office 8.1 with Basic Edition. System will have a combo card and DS8, install is on Monday.

This is my first install with Basic Edition. I do not see any options on the trunks for paging. Will the paging be plug-and-play?

Thanks for any info and help you can give.

Been there, done that

Nothing is plug and play on IP Office when it comes to paging, never mind in basic mode....good luck

You may need a Bogen UTI-1 to integrate their current amplifier.

I just cutover (yesterday) an old Spirit 616 to an IPO R8.1(64) Basic. I figured the paging would work on the converted IPO analog station side page port, it doesn't. I had enough sense to leave open an analog loop start line, I am figuring a loop start trunk adapter will do the trick. Vlacom made the ones for AT&T and Lucent, called a loop start trunk adapter, the Valcom part number was V-5335300. I never used the old AT&T and Lucent ones, they were too expensive. How did your setup go?
