Does all-page work on 3rd party SIP phones?

[chicgal]

I have a customer with an Asterisk system and about 30 Grandstream SIP phones. We are looking to switch them to an IP Office 500 and add 20 (digital) phones, if they can keep their Grandstream phones. The only feature I can't seem to find an answer for is whether or not an all-page, or dial paging if I set up zones, will go across the Grandstream phones...This is in a school, and they need to be able to page into the classrooms, where the Grandstream phones are. They don't have money for external speakers.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

I turned the Auto Answer feature on with my 3rd party SIP phones and the phones will broadcast an all page through the phone speakers, no matter what type of SIP phone is on IP Office...... I was able to get it to work, anyone else?

Since AM says it doesn't work, why not look at a UCx 50 from Emetrotel, you can for sure do what you need to do. You can use Nortel digital phones. The UCx is an upgraded Asterisk switch. No reason to throw away your Grandstream phones....especially in this day of being Green!

Gordon, doesn't that auto answer every call though? I think it does, if not I may well be wrong
